This study aims to improve the interpersonal intelligence of children aged 5–6 years through the implementation of the edutainment method at TKIT Darul Qur’an Madani, Parepare. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) with Kurt Lewin’s model, conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects were 14 children from group B who initially showed low social interaction, cooperation, and empathy with peers. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and anecdotal notes, then analyzed descriptively using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings revealed a significant improvement in children’s interpersonal intelligence. In the first cycle, most children were categorized as Beginning to Develop and Developing as Expected. However, in the second cycle, through edutainment activities based on role playing with professional themes, 85% of the children achieved the Very Well Developed category. These results indicate that the edutainment method is effective in creating enjoyable, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences, which encourage children to communicate, collaborate, understand emotions, and develop empathy.

This study was conducted to develop an edutainment-based learning media product and to assess its feasibility in terms of validity, practicality, and effectiveness with a focus on understanding mathematical concepts and fostering self-directed learning in social arithmetic topics. The research employed a development approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The instruments used included validation sheets completed by experts, practicality questionnaires filled out by teachers and students, mathematical concept comprehension tests, and self-directed learning questionnaires. Research subjects consisted of two groups: a small-scale trial with 10 seventh-grade students and a large-scale trial with 32 students. The findings revealed that the edutainment learning media developed was appropriate for use, fulfilling all three aspects of feasibility. The validity score for media was 142 out of 230 (medium category), while the material validation reached 110 out of 135 (high category). Practicality assessments showed very high results, with teachers assigning a score of 175 out of 172 indicators and students achieving an average score of 156.8, which placed the media in the very high category. Effectiveness was demonstrated by improved mathematical concept comprehension, where the pretest average of 75.24 increased to 84.38 in the posttest, meeting the minimum high category. Similarly, the self-directed learning questionnaire showed improvement, with average scores rising from 99.97 to 102.91, and the percentage of students attaining very high posttest results increased to 90.63%.

Reading plays an important role in building a literate generation that is able to improve academic skills, broaden horizons and maintain local cultural identity. However, the low interest in reading in Indonesia, especially among students, is a big challenge. Internal factors, such as student motivation, and external factors, such as family and school support, are highly influential. Strategies such as reading for pleasure, edutainment and the School Literacy Movement are effective in fostering a reading culture as well as shaping students' characters, such as honesty, empathy and critical thinking. Challenges in implementation include limited reading materials, teacher training, technology support and collaboration with the community. Strategic steps, such as enrichment of reading materials, intensive teacher training and community involvement, are needed to overcome them. With good literacy, students can think critically, have character and contribute positively. This research uses a qualitative approach through a literature study to examine the importance of literacy culture.
