This study aims to examine the impact of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on problem-solving abilities in early childhood, specifically for children aged 4-5 years. The research employed a quantitative method with a Pre-Experimental approach. Observation and documentation were used to collect data from 13 children at PAUD Kasih Ibu, Sindangrasa Village, Ciamis Regency. The results showed that 85% of the children were able to solve problems at an "excellent development" level, while 15% were in the "development as expected" category. The Wilcoxon test yielded a significance value of 0.001, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, with a confidence level of 85%. These findings suggest that the PBL model is effective in enhancing problem-solving abilities in early childhood. This research contributes to supporting the use of PBL as a teaching strategy to develop the cognitive skills of children aged 4-5 years.

Data analysis revealed a significant difference in cognitive abilities between the experimental and control groups. These findings indicate that the use of the storytelling method of the Prophets and Messengers' stories has a positive effect on improving the cognitive abilities of children aged 5-6 years.

This study is motivated by the low ability to express early childhood language in RA Al-Hikmah due to the less optimal use of learning media. This study aims to analyze the ability to express children's language before and after using picture storybooks and their effect on early childhood language development. The method used is an experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. Using a saturated sample technique, the study population included all students aged 5-6 years at RA Al-Hikmah as many as 20 people. Data were collected through observation sheets and analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon test for hypothesis testing. The results showed that the average ability of children in the MB category was 20% and BSB was 80%. The Wilcoxon test shows a significant value (α < 0.05), so the alternative hypothesis is accepted. This proves that the use of picture storybooks has a significant influence on the ability to express early childhood language at RA Al-Hikmah, Mekarharja Village, Purwaharja District, Banjar City.
