Pelatihan Peningkatan Kompetensi Guru PAUD dalam Penerapan SDIDTK untuk Optimalisasi Tumbuh Kembang Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

Comprehensive and quality child development guidance needs to be carried out during crucial periods through stimulation, detection, and early intervention (SDIDTK) activities for potential developmental disorders in toddlers. These activities must be carried out in an integrated and sustainable manner, involving partnerships between families, communities, and professionals from the health, education, and social sectors. PAUD teachers, although not the main target in the implementation of SDIDTK, have a strategic role in supporting the optimization of early childhood growth and development and preparing them for the next level of education. In Udanawu District, Blitar Regency, the majority of PAUD and Kindergarten teachers do not have knowledge or training related to SDIDTK. Through mentoring and training activities carried out on 30 PAUD/TK teachers, the results showed that all participants were able to measure child growth correctly. In terms of development measurement, there were still errors in the initial evaluation, especially in the use of the Pre-Screening Development Questionnaire (KPSP). However, in the second and third evaluations, all participants were able to assess development accurately. This activity shows the importance of increasing the capacity of PAUD teachers in the implementation of SDIDTK to support early detection of child growth and development.
