This trend has been partly driven by the global COVID-19 pandemic (Budiarti, Naruvita et al., 2022; Nurfitriyani et al., 2021; Sugianto & Darmayanti, 2021), which necessitated rapid adaptation to remote and hybrid learning models. The expenditure on digital education is projected to grow by 2022, reflecting the increasing importance of technology in educational settings (Budiarti, Kurniawati, et al., 2022; Naruvita et al., 2022). In early childhood education (Choirudin, In'am, et al., 2021; Choirudin, Ridho'i, et al., 2021; Usmiyatun et al., 2021), this digital transformation has been particularly impactful. Educational apps and software are turning complex concepts into engaging activities, capturing the attention of young learners and keeping them engaged for extended periods (Budiarti, Lesmana et al., 2022; Budiarti, Rahmani et al., 2022). Technology in preschool classrooms supports learning and development by providing interactive opportunities for children to grasp foundational skills and concepts. In early childhood education, YouTube has emerged as a significant platform for entertainment and educational purposes. Recent statistics indicate that 21.0% of children begin using YouTube before age 4, with an average usage of 4.8 days per week for 68.5 minutes per day. In the United States, children aged 0–8 spend an average of 1 hour and 45 minutes on screens daily, with about 40 minutes dedicated to YouTube. Integrating YouTube into early childhood education offers several significant benefits, particularly enhancing engagement. Video content has been shown to capture and maintain young children's attention more effectively than traditional text-based materials (Budiarti et al., 2018; Setyowati et al., 2022). This visual and auditory stimulation aligns well with multimodal learning approaches, catering to diverse learning styles and reinforcing concepts through various sensory channels. Furthermore, YouTube provides access to vast educational content, enabling educators to expose children to diverse perspectives and experiences. This exposure is essential in fostering an inclusive learning environment that promotes creativity and exploration, especially in line with recent trends emphasizing play-based learning (Rogers & Evans, 2020). However, the integration of YouTube also presents challenges that educators must navigate. One primary concern is the quality and appropriateness of the content available on the platform. The popularity-driven search and recommendation system can sometimes lead children to encounter unverifiable or misleading materials (Elminah & Budiarti, 2022; Maharani & Budiarti, 2022; Rohayati & Budiarti, 2022). Additionally, many educators may lack the digital skills to effectively leverage technology in their teaching practices, which can hinder the successful incorporation of YouTube into their curricula. It is also crucial to balance screen time with other activities, as excessive use may result in adverse outcomes, such as disrupted sleep patterns and attention deficits. A case study of Kindergarten X, which adopted YouTube as a teaching medium in early 2020 (Budiarti, Budiarti et al., 2022; Mahmudah & Budiarti, 2022; Roswati & Budiarti, 2022), illustrates both the potential and the challenges of this integration. The kindergarten combined YouTube videos with traditional textbooks to enhance the learning experience, but they faced the significant challenge of mentoring educators on effective integration practices. As highlighted by their experience, active parental involvement plays a critical role in mediating children's use of YouTube and maximizing educational https://doi.org/10.22219/dedikasi.Vol19.May.23- http://ejournal.umm.ac.id/index.php/dedikasi dedikasi@umm.ac.id Please cite this article as: Budiarti, E & Mukarromah, L (2022).Enhancing Educator Competency: YouTube-Assisted Textbook Development in Educational Technology.
