Hubungan Intensitas Paparan Video Anomali dengan Kemampuan Berpikir Logis Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun di TK Bina Anaprasa Nuris Jember

Abstract

The development of digital technology has introduced various forms of content, including anomalous videos, which may influence young children's logical thinking abilities. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the intensity of anomalous video exposure and the logical thinking ability of children aged 4–5 years at TK Bina Anaprasa Nuris Jember during the 2025/2026 academic year. This research employed a quantitative correlational design. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, with Class A3 chosen because most children in this class had a higher intensity of anomalous video viewing compared to other Class A groups. The study involved 18 children. Data were collected through parent questionnaires and observations using logical thinking tests. The research instruments were validated by experts, and data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test with SPSS for Windows 25. The results showed a very weak negative relationship between the intensity of anomalous video exposure and children's logical thinking ability (r = -0.177). The relationship was not statistically significant (p = 0.483 > 0.05), indicating that the alternative hypothesis was rejected. These findings may have been influenced by the limited sample size and the lack of variation in logical thinking scores. Therefore, future studies are recommended to involve larger and more diverse samples to obtain more comprehensive results.
