This paper reports on the play behaviours of preschoolers aged 49–64 months. The study was conducted in four Sydney preschools, with children being observed during their outdoor free play. Most participants engaged in a variety of play behaviours, many of which have been linked with cognitive development in previous research (constructive play, sociodramatic play, associative social play). However, thematic pretend play, which has been found to have an important role in many areas of development, including perspective taking, language, impulse control and divergent problem solving, was part of the play repertoire of only 20% of children observed. Likewise, only 24% of children engaged in cooperative social play, which has been found to have a role in the development of divergent problem solving skills. It is argued that staff working within early childhood programs may benefit from training in the use of programs designed to assist young children in the development of play skills.

One aspects that needs to be developed in early childhood is cognitive aspects with in the scope of symbolic thinking. This is because the ability of symbolic thinking can develop the mental world of children.This study aims to analyze the ability of symbolic thinking of young childhood at the age of 5-6 years. The instrument of this study was in the form of observation sheet about the ability to think symbolically, in the form of a checklist of developmental achievement scales based on an assessment scale using the numerical scale 1-4. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The subjects in this study was the children of group B. The results showed that the symbolic thinking ability of group B children reached 38.5% of the minimum percentage of 77%. This shows that the symbolic thinking ability of group B children in RA is still low. This results form the basis for researchers to conduct further research on the ability of symbolic thinking of young children in group B.Anak usia dini adalah sosok individu yang sedang mengalami pertumbuhan dan perkembangan yang sangat pesat, pada masa ini perlu adanya stimulasi yang tepat agar anak dapat mengembangkan seluruh aspek perkembangannya secara optimal.

<p><em>The demands of the 2013 curriculum ideally are that learning is able to develop 4C skills, one of which is critical thinking and problem-solving skills (Critical-Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills), namely being able to think critically, laterally, and systematically, especially in the context of problem solving. In fact, students' critical thinking skills have not been maximally developed, especially in elementary schools. The learning process in elementary schools currently requires problem-based learning that requires students to actively carry out investigations in solving problems and the teacher acting as a facilitator or learning guide will be able to shape the ability of students to think critically. The purpose of this research is to describe the concept of Problem Based Learning (PBL), the concept of critical thinking ability, and the relationship between Problem Based Learning (PBL) and critical thinking ability. The results of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model improve critical thinking ability.</em></p>

In the process of playing children in early childhood education institutions, of course, various media are needed to support the activity process. One who develops the development of symbolic thinking influences children's intelligence, where children can recognize, announce, present and differentiate symbols of letters, numbers, and images. The purpose of this research is to be able to know the impact of the use of visual media in improving the ability to think symbolically in early childhood. A letter, picture and number cards are learning media that use visual or the five senses of vision. 
Symbolic development in children is of course very influenced by the pattern of learning activities while playing in children, the extent to which the success of learning given gets encouragement from adults, both teachers and parents at home. Each teacher has his teaching approach technique so that children want and enthusiasm for learning. The method used is a quasi-experimental research method using statistical test analysis. Based on the results of the study, the results before treatment were 20,76923, whereas after treatment in the experimental group the results were 33,30769. The data obtained from the study is that the process of playing with visual media in the form of letter cards, numbers, and images given by the teacher for the learning process is a visual learning pattern in developing the symbolic thinking ability of early childhood.Dalam proses bermain anak di lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini tentu memerlukan berbagai media untuk menunjang proses kegiatan tersebut. Salah satunya adalah mengembangkan perkembangan berpikir simbolis memiliki pengaruh terhadap kecerdasan kognitif anak, dimana anak dapat mengenal, menyebutkan, mempresentasikan dan membedakan lambang-lambang huruf, angka dan gambar. Tujuan penelitian dalam ini adalah untuk bisa mengetahui dampak penggunanan media visual dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir simbolis pada anak usia dini. Kartu huruf, gambar dan angka adalah media pembelajaran yang pemakaiannya menggunakan visual atau panca indera penglihatan. Perkembangan simbolik pada anak tentu sangat dipengaruhi oleh pola kegiatan belajar seraya bermain pada anak, sejauh mana keberhasilan pembelajaran yang diberikan mendapat dorongan dari orang dewasa, baik guru dan orang tua di rumah. Setiap guru mempunyai teknik pendekatan mengajar tersendiri agar anak mau dan semangat untuk belajar. Metode yang dipakai adalah metode penelitian quasi eksperimen dengan menggunakan analisis uji statistik. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh hasil sebelum treatmen adalah 20,76923, sedangkan setelah dilakukan treatmen pada kelompok eksperimen hasilnya adalah 33,30769. Data yang didapat dari penelitian adalah bahwa proses bermain dengan media  visual berupa kartu huruf,angka dan gambar yang diberikan guru untuk proses pembelajaran merupakan pola pembelajaran visual dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir simbolis anak usia dini.
