Training for Tadika Al-Fikh Orchard Teachers in Developing Educational Games for Active and Interactive Learning

Hasrian Rudi Setiawan, Nadia Dwi Haryuni

Abstract


This community service program aimed to enhance the understanding and skills of teachers at Tadika Al-Fikh Orchard in designing and implementing educational games as tools for active and joyful learning. The activity was carried out through a two-day participatory training consisting of theoretical material delivery, interactive discussions, and hands-on game development practice. The results showed a significant improvement in the teachers’ comprehension of educational game concepts and their ability to design games suited to early childhood learning contexts. Evaluation indicated high levels of participant satisfaction and enthusiasm. The program was complemented with the development of a simple educational game module and post-training online mentoring to ensure sustainability. Thus, this initiative has positively contributed to improving learning quality at the Tadika and can be replicated in similar educational institutions.
