The ability to start counting is the ability that every child has to develop his abilities, the characteristics of this development start from the environment closest to him. In line with the development of children's abilities can increase to the stage of understanding the number, which is related to addition and subtraction. Beginning counting through the number train game media is one way to develop early numeracy skills in children. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of teachers as educators, mentors and trainers in developing early numeracy skills through the media of number train games in group B children in Kindergarten. The role of the teacher as an educator in this study is: the teacher always provides guidance and understanding in advance on the activities to be carried out through the number train game media, in the activities children do not feel bored and easily understand numbers. The role of the teacher as a guide in this study is: the teacher becomes the person who is always ready when students experience difficulties and the teacher always accompanies and monitors in carrying out initial counting activities through the number train game media. The role of the teacher as a trainer in this study is: the teacher prepares tools and materials in accordance with the theme of the initial counting activities to be carried out and the teacher trains children by giving assignments. This study uses a qualitative research method of case study research. Data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses the Miles, Hubberman and Saldana. While the validity of the data using source triangulation and technique triangulation.
ABSTRAK
Kemampuan berhitung permulaan merupakan kemampuan yang dimiliki setiap anak untuk mengembangkan kemampuannya, karakteristik perkembangannya ini dimulai dari lingkungan terdekat dengan dirinya. Sejalan dengan perkembangan kemampuannya anak dapat meningkat ke tahap pengertian mengenai jumlah, yaitu berhubungan dengan penjumlahan dan pengurangan. Berhitung permulaan melalui media permainan kereta angka merupakan salah satu cara dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berhitung permulaan pada anak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peran guru sebagai pendidik, pembimbimbing dan pelatih dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berhitung permulaan melalui media permainan kereta angka pada anak kelompok B di Taman Kanak-kanak. Peran guru sebagai pendidik dalam penelitian ini yaitu: guru selalu memberikan pengarahan dan pemahaman terlebih dahulu pada kegiatan yang akan dilakukan melalui media permainan kereta angka, pada kegiatan anak tidak merasa bosan dan mudah memahami angka. Peran guru sebagai pembimbing dalam penelitian ini ialah: guru menjadi orang yang selalu siap ketika peserta didik mengalami kesulitan serta guru selalu mendampingi dan memantaudalam melakukan kegiatan berhitung permulaan melalui media permaianan kereta angka. Peran guru sebagai pelatih dalam penelitian ini yaitu: guru menyiapkan alat dan bahan yang sesuai dengan tema kegiatan berhitung permulaan yang akan dilaksanakan serta guru melatih anak dengan cara pemberian tugas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif jenis penelitian studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan Miles, Hubberman dan Saldana. Sedangkan keabsahan data menggunakan triangualasi sumber dan triangulasi teknik.
