Abstract

Emotional regulation is a central component of early childhood development, particularly for children aged 5–6 years who are transitioning toward formal schooling. Recent advances in digital technology have substantially increased young children’s exposure to screen-based media, commonly referred to as screen time, prompting concerns about its implications for emotional development. This study examines the relationship between screen time and emotional regulation among children aged 5–6 years using a quantitative correlational design. Participants included children aged 5–6 years, with parents and classroom teachers serving as respondents. Screen time data were collected through parent-reported questionnaires, while emotional regulation was assessed via teacher questionnaires and structured observations. Correlational analyses revealed a significant association between screen time and emotional regulation: higher and poorly regulated screen time exposure was linked to lower levels of emotional regulation. These findings underscore the importance of intentional adult supervision and balanced digital media management to support healthy emotional development in early childhood.

Abstract

Background. Early childhood education plays a significant role in preparing children for future academic achievement, particularly in literacy and cognitive development. Preliminary observations at TK Banjarsari Asri, Cerme, Gresik, revealed that many children aged 5–6 years had not yet developed optimal literacy and critical thinking skills. Difficulties were identified in listening comprehension, retelling stories, using new vocabulary, asking questions, expressing opinions, and relating stories to personal experiences. Purpose. This study aims to analyze the effect of the read-aloud method on the literacy and critical thinking skills of children aged 5–6 years. Method. This study employed a quasi-experimental design involving children in Group B at TK Banjarsari Asri. The read-aloud method was implemented through interactive storytelling sessions using picture books entitled “Wake Up Early and Sleep Early” and “Love Learning and Socializing.” During the intervention, teachers encouraged children to listen actively, answer questions, predict story events, express opinions, and connect the stories to their daily experiences. Results. The findings indicate that the read-aloud method positively affected both literacy and critical thinking skills. Children showed improvement in listening comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, story retelling, oral communication, questioning ability, problem-solving, and expressing logical opinions. The interactive storytelling process also increased children’s participation and confidence during classroom activities. Conclusion. The read-aloud method can be considered an effective pedagogical strategy for improving literacy and critical thinking skills in early childhood education. Regular implementation of interactive read-aloud activities provides meaningful language experiences and supports children’s cognitive development.
