The Effect of DOMIS (Ludo Misteri) on the Emotional Intelligence of Children Aged 5-6 Years
type: item
description: This study aims to identify the effect of DOMIS (Ludo Misteri) media on the emotional intelligence of children aged 5–6 years. Emotional intelligence is an essential aspect of early childhood development, as the ability to regulate emotions directly affects children's behavior and social interactions. Initial observations at the Ittihad Kindergarten Samarinda showed that some children were still unable to manage their emotions optimally, and ludo had never been used as a learning medium at the institution. This study used a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest–Posttest design. The research sample consisted of 17 children aged 5–6 years, who were determined using a saturated sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted through validity testing, normality testing, homogeneity testing, nonparametric Wilcoxon testing, and descriptive analysis using SPSS 29 software. The results of the descriptive analysis revealed an increase in scores from 32.35 on the pretest to 61.00 on the posttest. These findings indicate that the use of DOMIS media has a positive effect on children's emotional intelligence. Previous studies also support the effectiveness of the game of Ludo in improving geometry recognition and problem-solving skills. Pedagogically, DOMIS media has the potential to support teachers in organizing more active learning while stimulating various aspects of child development. The novelty of this study lies in the use of a modified game of Ludo to improve the emotional intelligence of 5-6-year-old children.

description: This study examines the development of children's sense of responsibility through the activity of washing eating utensils at RA Al-Hidayah UIN Walisongo Semarang, using social-emotional theory. The activity was chosen for its emphasis on independence, discipline, and awareness of obligations, fostering early life skills. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with 20 children aged 5-6 years as subjects. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, which were analyzed thematically with triangulation for validity. The video documentation records the children's lunchbox-washing activity, capturing social interactions, participation, and behavioral changes, providing empirical evidence of the activity's impact on responsibility development. The findings reveal that the activity fosters life skills and gradually instills a sense of responsibility, with the teacher's guidance playing a key role. This research highlights the novelty of combining practical activities with social-emotional approaches in early childhood character development, contributing to understanding how activities promoting personal responsibility can be effective in shaping character from an early age.

Implementation of APLT Digital Media Literacy to Support Sex Education for Early Childhood
type: item
description: Sex education in early childhood is a preventive effort to foster children’s understanding of body protection and privacy awareness. This study aimed to develop and examine the feasibility and effectiveness of APLT (Aku Pintar Lindungi Tubuh) digital media as a supporting tool for early childhood sex education. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). The effectiveness of the developed media was tested using a pre-experimental one group pretest posttest design. The results indicate that the APLT media was highly feasible, based on expert validation. Effectiveness analysis using normalized gain (N-gain) showed a moderate level of effectiveness, indicating an improvement in children’s understanding of body protection concepts, including protected body parts, appropriate and inappropriate touch, and body privacy awareness. These findings suggest that APLT media is moderately effective and functions as a supportive learning resource rather than a stand alone intervention. Therefore, APLT digital media has the potential to support early childhood sex education within a limited and guided instructional context, particularly in strengthening children’s initial understanding of body protection and privacy awareness.

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.

Implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project: Critical Thinking Dimension for Children Aged 5-6 Years Through Waste Recycling Activities
type: item
description: Improving the quality of early childhood education requires teachers to be able to develop character and critical thinking skills from an early age. The urgency of this research is based on the importance of implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, which promotes project-based learning through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5). Since the implementation of P5 in early childhood education is still in its early stages, this research provides empirical contributions regarding its practical implementation in the field. This study aims to describe the implementation of P5 activities in the dimension of critical thinking for 5-6 year old children through a waste recycling project at RA Al-Maskuri Kayen, Pati. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, involving 15 children, 2 teachers, and 1 educational institution. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that recycling-based P5 activities can improve children's ability to ask questions, identify problems, and give reasons for their decisions. Teachers are also beginning to be able to integrate critical thinking concepts through a contextual and participatory approach. This study recommends that teachers take further training to maximize the application of P5 in early childhood education.

Improving Literacy Skills by Encouraging Children Aged 4-5 Years Old to Read Stories
type: item
description: The study was conducted based on findings from initial observations, namely that of 16 children, 13, or 87%, still showed low literacy levels. 8 children tended to play alone, 3 children were sleepy, and 2 children felt unsure about what they could do, while the other 3 children had begun to demonstrate good literacy skills. This study was conducted using a Classroom Action Research method with 16 children aged 4-5 years at Cambridge Preschool Child and Care Kindergarten in Depok as subjects. Implementation was carried out using two cycles of action. In the first cycle, literacy increased from 44.01% in the previous cycle and increased by 20.05% to 64.06% in the second cycle. However, due to the results of the first cycle assessment, the researcher conducted a reflection to evaluate the actions of the first cycle and plan steps for the second cycle. For the second cycle, the researcher improved the process of determining agreement between the actions to be carried out in the second cycle, which was very effective in improving children's ability to understand literacy. Cycle I improved outcomes by 19.79%, while cycle II achieved 83.85%.

The Influence of Emotional Regulation and Mindful Parenting on Children's Readiness to Enter Kindergarten
type: item
description: School readiness is the abilities that enable children to adapt successfully to the school environment, parental involvement is a crucial factor that supports school readiness. This study aims to examine the effect of emotional regulation and mindful parenting on children's kindergarten readiness using a quantitative correlational method with a sample of 306 parents of children aged 3–4 years in East Jakarta. Data were collected through three instruments: a kindergarten readiness questionnaire developed by the researcher, Emotional Regulation Checklist (ERC), and Mindfulness in Parenting Questionnaire (MIPQ). The validity test of the kindergarten readiness questionnaire yielded an Aiken's V of 0.892. Aiken's V values above 0.2 for the ERC, the validity of the MIPQ, through EFA–CFA, with acceptable fit indices: χ²/df = 2.8, CFI = 0.90, GFI = 0.96, RMSEA = 0.06, and RMSR = 0.04. Reliability testing showed high internal consistency, 0.954 for the readiness questionnaire, 0.788 for the ERC, and 0.941 for the MIPQ, confirming that the instruments are reliable. The preliminary test conducted before the hypothesis testing with normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroskedasticity test. Hypothesis testing using multiple linear regression analysis show significant effects that both children’s emotional regulation and mindful parenting practices significantly contribute to children’s readiness for kindergarten. These results underscore the importance of continuous parental engagement in nurturing children’s developmental aspects to support a smoother transition into kindergarten.

The Effect of Snakes and Ladders on Children's Gross Motor Skills
type: item
description: Gross motor development is a fundamental aspect of early childhood because it requires coordination of large muscles that support movement and daily activities. Unfortunately, many children do not receive adequate stimulation to strengthen these abilities. One alternative is through traditional games such as snakes and ladders, which are enjoyable and at the same time enhance balance, coordination, and muscle strength. This study aimed to examine the effect of snakes and ladders on the gross motor skills of Group A children at TK Negeri Lantula Jaya, Morowali Regency. The research used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design involving 12 children. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and interviews using assessment sheets focused on balance, coordination, and strength. The findings indicated a significant improvement in gross motor skills after the intervention, with more children reaching the “Developing as Expected” and “Very Well Developed” categories. A paired sample t-test resulted in a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, confirming that snakes and ladders is an effective and engaging medium to stimulate gross motor development in early childhood.

The Use of Socratic Questioning Techniques by Kindergarten Teachers in Project-Based Learning: A Preliminary Study
type: item
description: Teacher questioning skills play an essential role in project-based learning in early childhood education, particularly in stimulating children’s critical thinking skills. However, the Socratic Questioning technique as a reflective questioning approach has not been widely implemented at the kindergarten level. This study aims to describe the implementation of Socratic Questioning by kindergarten teachers in project-based learning, identify the challenges they face, and explore their needs for media that support reflective questioning skills. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving eleven kindergarten teachers in Depok City selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that teachers have not yet applied Socratic Questioning optimally. Teachers predominantly use closed-ended questions, which are less effective in stimulating children’s critical thinking. The main challenges include limited conceptual understanding, time constraints in lesson planning, and concerns regarding children’s ability to respond to reflective questions. Teachers expressed the need for practical media, particularly visual guides, to support the application of reflective questioning techniques. Therefore, teachers require applicable Socratic Questioning-based learning media tailored to the early childhood context to enhance the quality of questioning skills in project-based learning.

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.

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.

Teachers' Efforts to Improve Motivation for Memorizing the Qur'an in the Youth Tahfidz Program
type: item
description: Memorization is an activity that requires motivation, perseverance, habit formation, and appropriate guidance from an educator. In early childhood, enthusiasm for memorization tends to be unstable, requiring continuous support. Based on these conditions, this study was conducted to examine the role of tahfidz teachers in increasing the motivation of students to memorize in the Tahfidz Belia Program at the Bustanul Qur'an Al-Asror Islamic Boarding School. The study applied a qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. Primary data was obtained through direct observation and interviews, while secondary data was obtained from documents and records of the students' memorization progress. The results of the study show that tahfidz teachers play a significant role in guiding students during the memorization process. Teachers not only act as motivators, but also as mentors, inspirers, and evaluators who systematically monitor memorization progress. Various strategies were implemented to increase motivation, including setting memorization targets, individualized approaches, rewards, and structured tahfidz routines. This approach proved effective in increasing the students' discipline and enthusiasm for learning. The study also identified inhibiting factors, such as young age, lack of focus, and peer influence. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for educational institutions in developing more effective tahfidz programs.

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.

Development of an Early Childhood Education Curriculum Model to Build Traffic Discipline Awareness Through a Musical Arts Approach
type: item
description: Character education should teach kids about traffic discipline from a young age to lower the chance of accidents and help them become more socially responsible. This study seeks to build a cohesive curriculum model for early childhood education centred on character development through music education to promote traffic discipline. The research employed a systematic literature review in accordance with the PRISMA procedure, encompassing the stages of identification, screening, eligibility evaluation, and synthesis. During the identification phase, 633 papers were collected, and following PRISMA selection, 28 peer-reviewed journal articles were synthesised. The synthesis results divided the findings into three groups: (1) traffic discipline and safety (n=4; 14.3%), (2) music learning for character building and discipline (n=14; 50.0%), and (3) early childhood education curriculum and learning device development (n=10; 35.7%). The suggested model combines these three topics into a thematic curriculum that includes goals, fundamental safety knowledge, music tactics (including songs, rhythm, movement, and games), simulation media, and real-life behaviour-based assessment. The synthesis conceptually demonstrates that music contributes to the reinforcement of discipline through structure, repetition, and group coordination. This approach provides a contextual early childhood education curriculum design featuring four observable indications of traffic discipline behaviour: comprehension of regulations, safety accountability, prudence, and compliance with procedural guidelines.

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.

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.
