Abstract

Traditional games have a special place in the culture of every nation. Traditional games are an integral part of the cultural heritage of each country, not only entertaining but also have deep philosophical values. This study aims to explore the integration of traditional game philosophy values in a project learning model to improve problem solving skills in early childhood. The research method used is a qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results show that the integration of traditional game philosophy values in the project learning model provides a rich and meaningful learning experience for young children. Values such as cooperation, perseverance, creativity and fairness contained in traditional games help in the development of problem solving skills. The implication of this finding is the need to pay attention to cultural heritage in early childhood education and the importance of integrating cultural values in the learning process. In conclusion, the integration of the philosophical value of traditional games in the project learning model can be an effective strategy to improve problem solving skills in early childhood.
