Fostering Socio Emotional Development Through Inclusive Service Learning Projects for IECE Students
type: item
description: Aspects of social-emotional development are critical to young children’s overall development, in early childhood inclusive classrooms where children have a wide variety of needs. In Indonesia, a number inclusive education programs continue to grapple with the development of empathy, cooperation and emotional regulation, demonstrating that evidence-based strategies for young children to develop these abilities is an urgent priority. This investigation focused on the effect of service-learning experiences for children in inclusive early childhood programs. Twelve 5- to 6-year-old students participated from an inclusive classroom, using a mixed-method design. The collection of quantitative data was provided from PAPI testing, while the qualitative part consisted of classroom observations around peer interaction and affect regulation as well as semi-structured teacher interviews about engagement and feasibility. Students, overall, demonstrated a 32% average increase in social-emotional competence with the largest increase in empathy (35%), cooperation (30%) and emotional regulation (28%). Teachers noted better participation and cooperation between students as well. These results suggest that service-learning is an effective intervention for promoting social-emotional competence in inclusive preschool classrooms. The research contributes with practical applications for Indonesian educators and policy makers to implement service-learning in inclusive education that supports both social-emotional development as well as equitable learning beginning in the early years of education.

Development of Interactive Picture Books on Comparing Numbers for Early Childhood Education
type: item
description: This research focuses on developing an interactive picture book as a learning medium to teach the concept of quantity comparison to early childhood learners. The study addresses a critical need for more effective and engaging educational tools, as conventional teaching methods often prove insufficient and are not well-suited to the cognitive characteristics of children in the preoperational stage. The research followed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, utilizing the ADDIE development model. This process encompasses the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. A limited trial was conducted with 11 students from a kindergarten, aged 5-6 years. The findings from expert validation demonstrated that the medium is highly valid, achieving an average validity score of 96.36%. Additionally, practicality assessments provided very positive feedback, with a 90.9% score from teachers and a 91.24% score from parents, confirming the medium’s practical utility. The student trial also revealed a notable improvement in children's enthusiasm, active engagement, and overall comprehension of quantity comparison. Ultimately, this study's practical contribution is the development of a valid, practical, and effective innovative learning medium that can serve as a valuable resource for educators and parents.

The Influence of Digital Learning Media in Stimulating Literacy Skills of Children Aged 5-6 Years
type: item
description: Literacy development in children aged 5–6 is crucial for fostering cognitive growth, school readiness, and social competence. However, implementing effective literacy teaching strategies remains challenging in diverse educational settings. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine the impact of digital learning media on early childhood literacy, focusing on the competencies developed and factors influencing effectiveness. Analysis of 34 selected studies reveals that digital media significantly enhances literacy skills, particularly in language, communication, and cognitive domains. Interactive tools such as digital storybooks, educational applications, and learning games promote engagement, vocabulary expansion, narrative comprehension, and critical thinking. The active involvement of parents and educators is essential in guiding children and selecting developmentally appropriate digital content. Although the direct effects on reading and writing acquisition remain underexplored, findings suggest that integrating digital media in literacy instruction can make learning more enjoyable and effective. The study concludes that digital media serves as a promising pedagogical tool to strengthen early literacy when supported by active adult participation, thoughtful content design, and conducive learning environments.

The Effect of Reading One Picture Storybook Each Day Children's Language Skills and Character Growth
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the impact of daily habit of reading picture storybooks on the character formation and language development of young children. The research employs a qualitative method using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, analyzing 22 relevant articles. The study findings indicate that the habit of reading one picture storybook daily contributes positively to enriching vocabulary, enhancing communication skills, and shaping children's character through the moral and social values embedded in stories. Factors influencing the effectiveness of this habit include active interaction between parents and teachers in accompanying children during reading, consistent reading frequency, as well as family and school environments that support early literacy. Regular reading activities have been shown to support holistic child development, both in language and character aspects. Therefore, reading picture storybooks daily can be an effective strategy in early childhood education, as it not only enhances language skills but also builds positive and empathetic personalities in children. This research highlights the importance of the role of adults and the environment in fostering literacy habits.

Introducing Isra Mi'raj Through the Prophet's Journey Board: Educational Strategies for Children
type: item
description: Instilling religious values from an early age serves as an essential foundation for shaping children's character and spirituality. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Prophet's Journey Board as a means of introducing the story of Isra Mi'raj to children at RA Nurul Ulum, Semarang City. This study involved 18 children in group A and used a descriptive qualitative approach by comparing learning activities using visual media and learning without media. Data were obtained through direct observation, simple tests, teacher interviews, and learning documentation with assessment indicators covering understanding of the sequence of events of Isra Mi'raj. The data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively by triangulating the results of observations, tests, and interviews. The study found that this media was effective in improving children's understanding of the sequence of events of Isra Mi'raj and the underlying ethics. With its visual and interactive approach, the Prophet's Journey Board media proved to be an effective educational strategy in conveying abstract material in a concrete manner based on the cognitive growth stages of early childhood. Thus, these findings indicate that the integration of play media as religious learning can be an effective alternative strategy in instilling religious values from an early age.

The Subjectivity of Early Childhood on the Loss of a Father: A Phenomenology of Self-Confidence and Prophetic Character
type: item
description: Fathers are not only biological parents, but also play an important role in shaping the self-confidence and identity of young children. The absence of a father, whether physical or emotional, can cause emotional trauma and hinder a child's psychological development from an early age. This study employs a phenomenological method with an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach to explore the meaning of the experiences of five young children at TK Taruna Bakti Bandung who grew up without a complete father figure. The findings reveal that the absence of a father significantly impacts the formation of a child's psychological structure and identity, weakening prophetic values such as love, responsibility, justice, and exemplary behavior. This condition also affects spiritual autonomy, social skills, and self-understanding. Patriarchal parenting patterns that marginalize the father's role as a moral-spiritual partner exacerbate the child's developmental conditions. Based on these findings, this study recommends the development of an early childhood education curriculum that is responsive to the needs of children from fatherless families through the integration of prophetic values, the strengthening of emotional literacy, and the cultivation of social skills. Additionally, school-based psychosocial interventions such as small group mentoring, counseling, and the involvement of surrogate father figures are needed to help children build a complete, resilient identity rooted in moral-spiritual values, even without the direct presence of a father.

Utilization of Real Media with Individual Learning Programs in the Aspects of Social Skills for Early Childhood Children with ASD
type: item
description: Abstract Social skills are crucial for early childhood development, especially for children with ASD. Success in improving social skills in children with special needs depends heavily on the learning system implemented. Based on observations, Fun & Play Inclusive Kindergarten Semarang implements an individual learning program utilizing realia media to develop the social skills of children with special needs. This study aims to determine how the use of realia media in an individual learning program can support social skills in early childhood with autism. This study used a qualitative research study with a descriptive qualitative approach. The results showed that the use of realia media is adjusted to the severity of autism, ranging from mild, moderate, to severe, where each level has different social skill abilities. The success of this learning method is influenced by several factors such as the suitability of the media to the learning objectives, teacher competence, the child's physical and emotional condition, cooperation between parents and teachers, and the appropriate implementation of special dietary patterns for children. It is hoped that this research will further enrich teachers' knowledge in the world of inclusive education and improve their readiness to become an inclusive school that can open opportunities for anyone to receive adequate educational services.

Implementation of Fulfillment Early Childhood Education Rights in Learning Center Segambut Malaysia
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the importance of fulfilling the right to early childhood education for migrant children in Malaysia who still face various challenges. This study aims to analyze the fulfillment of early childhood education rights in Segambut Learning Studio Malaysia, with a focus on learning strategies, curriculum implementation, facilities, implementation constraints, and the impact of implementation on early childhood. A qualitative approach was used with a phenomenological method, through participant observation, in-depth interviews with one educator and three parents, and photo documentation of learning activities. Data analysis was conducted using an interactive model: data collection, data reduction, and conclusion drawing.

Identification of Disaster Mitigation Learning Implementation in Pembina Kindergarten, Gorontalo Regency
type: item
description: Disaster mitigation needs to be introduced in early childhood education institutions.This study was motivated the high disaster risk in Gorontalo Regency, while disaster preparedness education in early childhood centers remains incomplete. This qualitative research aims to identify disaster mitigation learning at TK Pembina Limboto, located in Limboto Village, Gorontalo Regency. The study involved eight teachers as participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological approach, grouping statements based on teachers’ experiences, perceptions, and reflections, while also considering the social-emotional context.The findings reveal that disaster mitigation learning at TK Pembina Limboto only covers the pre-disaster and during-disaster phases, focusing on prevention and self-rescue. Teachers have never received disaster preparedness training, so their understanding is limited to basic concepts. However, the simulation based learning applied in the school has shaped teachers’ perception that disaster learning is an important risk reduction effort, as reflected in the emotional responses of children and parents.The implications of this study highlight the need for disaster training for early childhood teachers, the provision of safe school facilities in accordance with Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation No. 33 of 2019, and the integration of a disaster mitigation curriculum that includes pre-disaster, during-disaster, and post-disaster phases. These steps are expected to strengthen the school’s role as an agent of disaster risk reduction.

Implementation of School-Based Management Components at the Early Childhood Education Level: A Systematic Literature Review
type: item
description: The concept of School-Based Management (SBM) has emerged as a key strategy for improving the quality of education in the context of regional autonomy. It offers potential solutions to various challenges faced by educational institutions. A systematic literature review was conducted to analyze the components of school-based management that have been discussed, researched or evaluated at the early childhood education institution level over the past decade (2019-2024). A total of nine studies were included in this review and it was found that principals' professionalism, teachers' performance, curriculum development, learning methods and innovations, learners' potential, procurement of facilities and infrastructure, control of school operational costs, school programs, school and community partnerships and school culture and character were discussed aspects in the implementation of school-based management. This review also shows positive views and evaluations of the implementation of school-based management elements. In addition, the results show that the implementation of the components of school-based management improves the quality of the education unit. However, more in-depth studies will be needed in the future to provide authors with clear guidelines for assessing the implementation of school-based management at the specific education unit level.

Stimulation of Early Childhood Creativity through STEAM Learning Based on Loosparts Media: A Systematic Narrative Review
type: item
description: The integration of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) learning in Early Childhood Education is increasingly recognized as essential for cultivating 21st-century skills. This systematic narrative review explores how STEAM learning, when combined with loose parts media, stimulates creativity in early childhood. A total of 515 articles were initially identified through four databases (ProQuest, ERIC, Open Knowledge Map, and Elicit) covering the years 2019–2024. After applying strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, eight peer-reviewed studies were selected for analysis. These studies vary in method, including qualitative, quasi-experimental, and review-based designs, and focus on children aged 3–6 years. The review reveals that loose parts media flexible, open-ended materials enhance key dimensions of creativity such as imagination, originality, problem-solving, collaboration, and innovation when implemented within the STEAM framework. Children engaged in these activities exhibit higher levels of critical thinking and exploratory learning. The findings also highlight the importance of teacher facilitation, cultural context, and long-term developmental impact. This review enriches both practical and theoretical understanding of creative learning strategies based on loose parts within the STEAM framework in early childhood education. It contributes new insights by synthesizing studies that explicitly connect both components, which are often examined separately. Educators and policymakers are encouraged to incorporate this integrative approach into early learning environments to maximize children’s cognitive and creative growth.

Exploring the Universe: Integrating Astronomy in the Early Childhood Education Curriculum
type: item
description: Introducing basic astronomy concepts early can help children develop a deeper interest and understanding of science in the future, yet it remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the methods and benefits of integrating astronomy into early childhood education (ECE) curricula and its impact on child development. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research involved four (4) ECE teachers in Jakarta and Depok who teach astronomy to children. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically. Findings show that children are highly enthusiastic about learning astronomy. Teachers employed creative and interactive methods such as picture stories, educational videos, and simple experiments. Adapting the material to the child’s developmental stage—such as using simple language and easily understood analogies—was key to successful learning. Astronomy education was found to support the development of critical thinking skills, curiosity, as well as children's social and collaborative abilities. The study concludes that integrating astronomy into ECE curricula holds great potential for supporting child development. It provides empirical insights into how astronomy can be effectively adapted for early childhood learning. Additionally, the research offers recommendations for educators and policymakers in designing more meaningful curricula.

The Effect of Academic Qualifications and Teaching Experience on Pre-school Teacher Performance
type: item
description: The performance of educators at the Early Childhood Education (ECE) level plays a vital role in determining the quality of learning for children in their formative developmental stages. This study was conducted to examine the influence of formal educational background and professional teaching experience on the work performance of ECE teachers. Employing a quantitative method with an associative approach, the study involved 65 teachers as respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 27. The results revealed that the level of formal education did not significantly contribute to improving teacher performance, as indicated by a significance value exceeding the 0.05 threshold. In contrast, teaching experience showed a statistically significant relationship with teacher performance improvement, demonstrated by a significance value below 0.05 and a positive regression coefficient. This suggests that teaching experience exerts a stronger impact on shaping teacher competence and effectiveness than academic qualifications alone. Based on these findings, it is recommended that practice-based training programs be strengthened as part of the strategy to develop ECE teacher professionalism, particularly in the Periuk District, in order to support the sustainable improvement of early childhood education services.

Effectiveness of Joyful Learning Using Tahfidz Cards on Al-Qur'an Memorization Ability and Happiness of Kindergarten Students
type: item
description: One important aspect of early childhood education is the introduction to and memorization of the Qur'an, which plays a role in cognitive development and the formation of religious character. However, conventional and rigid learning approaches often cause children to feel bored and unmotivated to memorize. To overcome this, a fun approach is needed, such as joyful learning. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the joyful learning approach using tahfidz cards in improving the Quran memorization ability and happiness of kindergarten students. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects consisted of 34 kindergarten students in Medan City, divided into two groups: experimental and control, each with 17 students. Data were collected through a Quran memorization test and a children's happiness scale, then analyzed using the paired sample t-test and independent t-test. The results indicate that the joyful learning approach significantly improves memorization ability (t = 11.830, p = 0.000) and student happiness (t = 7.062, p = 0.000). The average increase in memorization was 17.706 points and happiness was 9.353 points. This study emphasizes the importance of joyful learning in supporting children's potential and emotional well-being.
