This study aims to explore the visible learning (VL) in teacher’s approach to the change of immediate behaviour of children in early childhood education centers in Banda Aceh. The six teachers from three early childhood education centers were selected as respondents. A qualitative approach was used in this study using interviews, observations and documentation in data collection. Data validation used triangulation and comparative techniques as well as critical analysis techniques in data analysis. This study seeks to find out the teacher's decision of children in phases of 2-4 and 4-6 years old of the learning program. The findings showed that visible learning approach is able to change children’s behaviour. The efforts of teachers to approach children who experience immediate behavioural changes are very much related to the actions of teachers who understand visible learning; and the efforts of teachers to approach children who experience immediate changes in behaviour towards children as a result of child interactions that form two social groups is very much related to the actions of teachers who understand visible learning. In conclusion, teachers who have visible learning have undergone immediate changes in behaviour to overcome the teaching and learning process. Implications for teachers of early childhood education in Banda Aceh is to investigate the functions of visible learning to address immediate behaviour change in the children aged 2-4 and 4-6 years old in teaching and learning.
