The Effect of the Puzzle Playing Method on Improving

the Cognitive Development of Children Aged 4-6 Years


PROBLEM
Cognitive ability is one part of a
person’s brain development, how
children can memorize things and can
develop perceptual abilities, memory,
ways of thinking, and problem solving.
Based on the results of the interview, it
was found that the children did not
know how to play puzzles
By playing puzzle, children can train
their intelligence and can solve
problems.
ARTICLE ANALYSIS USING PICO METHOD
INTERVENTION
40 students aged 4-6 years were given
play therapy by using puzzles and
using a pre-experimental research
design with pretest and posttest
designs. This intervention aims to
determine cognitive development in
children
COMPARATION
The results of the study stated that the
posttest value after being given puzzle
playing therapy increased to be better
than the pretest value when the child
had not been given puzzle playing
therapy.
OUTCOME
Based on the results of increasing
children's cognitive development
before the puzzle, the method of
playing was done with a score of less
than 32 people (80%), and enough as
many as 8 people (20%). Then, after
being given the puzzle playing method,
the results of the analysis obtained
were 1 person (2.5%), good category as
many as 26 people (65%) and very
good category as many as 13 people
(32.5%).
so it can be concluded that the puzzle
game method can be used to improve
children's cognitive levels
