Abstract
ABSTRAK
Fenomena crowding atau kesesakan di Taman Kanak-Kanak (TK) merupakan isu penting yang berdampak negatif terhadap perkembangan kognitif, sosial, dan kesehatan anak usia dini (AUD). Penelitian ini bertujuan mengembangkan e-modul pengenalan dan mitigasi fenomena crowding di TK untuk meningkatkan literasi calon pendidik PAUD. Penelitian menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). E-modul dikembangkan melalui platform Canva dengan integrasi multimedia interaktif. Validasi expert judgement dilakukan oleh 2 ahli bidang Pendidikan dan Psikologi, serta uji efektivitas melalui pretest-posttest pada partisipan yang merupakan 25 calon pendidik. Validasi expert judgement menunjukkan skor rata-rata 4,5 dari 5,0 dengan aspek kemenarikan desain memperoleh skor tertinggi (4,75). Hasil paired t-test menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pengetahuan partisipan dari skor mean pretest 3,92 menjadi posttest 6,96 (p = 0,000 < 0,05). E-modul pengenalan dan pencegahan crowding di TK terbukti valid dan efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan calon pendidik PAUD tentang fenomena crowding serta strategi mitigasinya.

ABSTRACT
The phenomenon of crowding in kindergartens (TK) is a significant issue that negatively impacts the cognitive, social, and health development of early childhood (AUD). This study aims to develop an e-module for recognizing and mitigating crowding in kindergartens to improve the literacy of prospective PAUD educators. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The e-module was developed using the Canva platform with interactive multimedia integration. Expert judgment validation was conducted by two experts in the fields of Education and Psychology, and effectiveness testing was conducted through a pretest-posttest on participants from The 25 prospective PAUD teachers. Expert judgment validation showed an average score of 4.5 out of 5.0 with the design attractiveness aspect obtaining the highest score (4.75). The results of the paired t-test showed a significant increase in participants' knowledge from a mean pretest score of 3.92 to a posttest score of 6.96 (p = 0.000 < 0.05). The e-module on recognizing and preventing crowding in kindergarten has proven valid and effective in increasing the knowledge of prospective PAUD educators about the phenomenon of crowding and its mitigation strategies.
