The journal publishes different kinds of scientific articles based on the field research and program in the area of early childhood education. We received only articles relating to early childhood education fields, and can be written using quantitative or qualitative approaches. Articles can be made in a variety of research designs, such as action research, experiments, and case studies. This journal was published since 2012, and from 2016 we published articles three times a year (April, August, and December).</p> <p><span class="s1"><strong>p-ISSN : <a href="https://issn.brin.go.id/terbit/detail/1512019913" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2613-9669</a> (cetak) dan e-ISSN : <a href="https://issn.brin.go.id/terbit/detail/1511514344" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2613-9650</a> (online)<br /></strong></span></p> Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha en-US Jurnal Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini Undiksha 2613-9669 <p>Authors who publish with the <strong>Jurnal Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini Undiksha</strong><strong> </strong>agree to the following terms:</p><ol><li>Authors retain copyright and grant the journal the right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY-SA 4.0)</a> that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgment of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal. </li><li>Authors are able to enter into separate, additional contractual arrangements for the non-exclusive distribution of the journal's published version of the work (e.g., post it to an institutional repository or publish it in a book), with an acknowledgment of its initial publication in this journal.</li><li>Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (e.g., in institutional repositories or on their website) prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work.

While some children can grasp scientific concepts with ease, others require more tailored learning approaches to support their development. This study aims to enhance children's scientific abilities, particularly in understanding the concept of color mixing, through the application of the color-mixing method. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted over two cycles. The subjects of the study were early childhood students in Group B during their second semester. Data on children's scientific abilities regarding color mixing were collected through observation using structured observation sheets. The data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive statistical techniques. The findings revealed a significant improvement in children's scientific abilities. In the first cycle, 65% of children were categorized as achieving a medium level, whereas in the second cycle, 100% of children reached a high level. This indicates a 35% increase in children's scientific abilities related to color mixing. The results demonstrate that the color-mixing method is effective in fostering children's understanding of scientific concepts while optimally supporting their cognitive development. This study offers practical insights, suggesting that interactive and contextual learning approaches can be an effective strategy for enhancing scientific abilities in early childhood education.</p> Karmelia Rosfinda Meo Maku Marsianus Meka Veronika Owa Mere Copyright (c) 2024 Karmelia Rosfinda Meo Maku, Marsianus Meka, Veronika Owa Mere https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2024-12-28 2024-12-28 12 3 10.23887/paud.v12i3.87242
