Abstract

Peer observation is an alternative to supervision in PAUD, where educators can observe each other to develop effective learning. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using video and WhatsApp messenger in peer observation to improve education. The subjects of this study were 16 educators in early childhood who were determined according to the research objectives. Data was collected by using interview and observation techniques. The study results found that using video and Whatsapp messenger in peer observation was very effective in improving learning. They were making peer observation activities able to continue without having to meet in person. Furthermore, peer observation is more flexible because it could be adjusted according to the conditions and agreement of the educator.
