Abstract
Decision-making intelligence is one of the foundations of thinking skills every preschool child should possess. This is because it is the ability to choose the best and most beneficial option to take an action in the face of a particularly problematic situation, an emergency or an accident. To choose to act quickly requires decision-making intelligence. The decision-making intelligence must be developed in conjunction with the work of the brain or the frontal brain, known as the Executive Function (EF), which also refers as CEO of the brain. Enhancing brain skills is therefore essential in enhancing the decision-making intelligence of early childhood children under the EF Brain Skills concept, as it cannot occur naturally but depends on proper training and enhancing. Therefore, the management of learning experiences for early childhood is an important part in enhancing children's decision-making intelligence by emphasizing a variety of learning experiences which emphasizing on allowing children to learn through direct experience, take action, and events encountered in daily life. Thus, the Phenomenon-based learning experience is a method that can be used to develop the decision-making intelligence of early childhood through media and innovative technologies that are adapted to the changing todays’ World. It takes into account the principles and integration that do not focus on content or memorization to enable early childhood making smart decisions which focus on the development of consciousness, awareness, acceptance, and willingness to act, including being able to apply appropriately used in each situation.
