Implementation of Teaching Skills in Teachers Through Play Environment Arrangement

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the implementation of teaching skills in teachers through the arrangement of the play environment at TK Balita Qur’an Aceh Tenggara. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing initial observations and interviews with teachers to gather data on their teaching skills and the arrangement of the play environment. Observations were conducted to evaluate how the play environment supported the learning process and enhanced students' comfort and engagement. Data analysis involved identifying emerging patterns from the observations and interviews, comparing them with the educational needs of the institution. The results indicated that teachers' teaching skills, including collaboration in improving learning and the involvement of students and school leaders, were moderate. The study concluded that the play environment arrangement was crucial in enhancing teaching skills, although teachers' abilities in applying effective teaching methods were not fully maximized. Recommendations for improving teachers' professional development and optimizing the learning environment were suggested.
