EASY LEARNING BOX (ELB)

Abstract

Early childhood education is a branch of education theory that relates to the teaching of children from birth up to the age of eight. Based on a statistical study from the government transformation program in 2010 has found that the rate of literacy failure is declining. Primary school registration decreased from 5200 people to 2679 people in 2016. Therefore, this study was implemented to produce Easy Learning Box (ELB) to help children aged four to five years learn four important aspects in early childhood education namely, shape, letters, colour and writing more efficiently. 50 questionnaires were distributed to parents and teachers in day care centres around TTDI Jaya, Shah Alam. Rubberwood is the main material in producing ELB. Other features of ELB are light, non-toxic and have no sharp edges. The suggestion to upgrade this product is to add numbers and various interesting shapes so that children are more excited in playing while learning.
