In today's digital era, students have extensive access to various learning resources via the internet, so the role of educators is no longer the sole source of knowledge, but rather as facilitators, guides, and directors in the learning process. This study aims to analyze the challenges and solutions faced by Islamic Religious Education (PAI) lecturers in learning in the digital era. The development of information technology has changed the learning paradigm, requiring lecturers to adapt to the use of technology without neglecting Islamic values. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with PAI lecturers selected through purposive sampling. Data collection techniques were conducted through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used an interactive model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, as well as data validity testing through triangulation and member checking. The results showed that the main challenges faced by PAI lecturers include limited digital competency, changes in student characteristics that tend to prefer interactive learning, and the challenge of maintaining values and ethics amidst the flow of digital information. Possible solutions include improving digital competency through training, implementing innovative learning models such as blended learning and flipped classrooms, and utilizing creative and contextual digital media. Furthermore, institutional support in providing infrastructure and supporting policies is also an important factor in successful learning.

Early childhood literacy development is a crucial foundation for children’s future academic achievement and communication skills, yet literacy learning in many early childhood institutions remains conventional and less engaging for young learners. This study aimed to improve children’s literacy skills through the use of wayang media at TK Assalam Martapura. The research employed a collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles involving 15 children in Group A. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and assessment of teacher activities, student participation, and literacy outcomes covering listening, speaking, letter recognition, and early writing skills. The findings revealed significant improvement in children’s literacy development after the implementation of wayang-based learning activities. In the pre-intervention stage, 66.7% of children were categorized as “Not Yet Developed,” while by the end of Cycle II, 66.7% reached the “Very Well Developed” category and 33.3% achieved “Developing as Expected,” resulting in 100% classical completeness. The study concludes that wayang media effectively enhances children’s literacy skills by creating interactive, culturally relevant, and enjoyable learning experiences. This research contributes to the development of innovative early childhood literacy instruction by integrating local cultural heritage into meaningful educational practices that support children’s language, creativity, and active participation.

Early childhood is a critical period in which foundational aspects of personality and character are established. This research aims to enhance the independence of early childhood learners through the application of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model in Group A at Raudhatul Athfal Harapan Ibu, Desa Labat Muara, Kecamatan Aluh-Aluh, Kabupaten Banjar. Independence is a crucial aspect of early childhood development, reflecting a child's ability to perform tasks without relying on others. The PjBL model was chosen because it provides meaningful, contextual, and active learning experiences through project activities that directly involve children. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 15 children in Group A, while data were collected through observation, documentation, and field notes. Project activities in Cycle I involved making pencil holders from used cardboard and straws, while Cycle II involved creating pencil holders decorated with flannel fabric. The results indicated a significant increase in children's independence after implementing the PjBL model, as evidenced by the shift in children’s independence categories and improvement in key indicators such as initiative, responsibility, and decision-making. Therefore, it can be concluded that the PjBL model is effective in enhancing independence in early childhood education settings.

This classroom action research aimed to improve fine motor skills in children aged 5–6 years old in Group B TK ABA Rahmaniah Banjarbaru through a series of structured handicraft activities. The research was motivated by the observation that most children exhibited underdeveloped fine motor skills, which are essential for daily functioning and school readiness. The intervention consisted of two cycles, each with three sessions, where children created pencil holders from recycled plastic bottles, engaging in cutting, gluing, coloring, and decorating. Data were collected through observation checklists, documentation, and descriptive analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement: children in the "Very Well Developed" category increased from 0% at baseline to 85.7% after the second cycle. The findings confirm that creative handicraft activities provide an effective, enjoyable, and sustainable approach to developing fine motor skills in early childhood. Recommendations are offered for teachers, schools, parents, and future researchers.

Early Humans are born without knowledge but are endowed with innate potential (fitrah) that enables development through the process of education. The Qur'an is the primary guideline in the life of Muslims; therefore, the ability to read the Qur'an needs to be introduced from an early age. A common problem found is children's inability to pronounce hijaiyah letters correctly. This study aims to describe the implementation of the tahajji method using the At-Tibyan book in improving Qur'anic reading (qira’ah) skills of early childhood students at TK TAUD SaQu Ar-Raudah, Marabahan District. This research employed a qualitative approach with a field research design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that the implementation of the At-Tibyan method improves children's ability to read the Qur'an, particularly in recognizing hijaiyah letters and improving pronunciation accuracy. In addition, this method increases students' learning interest and assists teachers in delivering learning materials effectively. Therefore, the At-Tibyan method is considered effective for teaching Qur'anic reading to early childhood learners.

Pendidikan anak usia dini menjadi fondasi penting dalam membentuk karakter dan potensi anak, mencakup perkembangan fisik, kognitif, bahasa, sosial-emosional, serta kreativitas. Penelitian ini mengimplementasikan pembelajaran berbasis proyek bertema “Tanamanku” di KB Sejahtera Mandiangin Barat sebagai strategi inovatif untuk meningkatkan kreativitas dan keterampilan kolaborasi anak usia 5-6 tahun. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterlibatan anak dalam kegiatan merancang, menanam, dan merawat tanaman mampu memicu munculnya ide-ide kreatif yang terefleksi dalam berbagai bentuk ekspresi, seperti menggambar, bercerita, dan praktik langsung di lapangan. Selain itu, anak-anak belajar bekerja sama melalui pembagian tugas, diskusi sederhana, dan pengambilan keputusan kelompok. Kolaborasi tersebut tidak hanya meningkatkan keterampilan sosial, tetapi juga menumbuhkan rasa tanggung jawab dan kepedulian terhadap hasil bersama. Hambatan yang ditemui, seperti keterbatasan sarana pendukung dan variasi tingkat partisipasi anak, dapat diminimalkan melalui perencanaan yang matang, penggunaan media alternatif, serta pendampingan intensif dari guru. Temuan ini menguatkan konsep pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman dan interaksi sosial sebagai pendekatan efektif di pendidikan anak usia dini. Proyek “Tanamanku” tidak hanya meningkatkan kreativitas dan kolaborasi, tetapi juga menumbuhkan kepedulian anak terhadap lingkungan. Model ini layak direkomendasikan sebagai praktik baik yang dapat direplikasi di lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini lain yang ada di Indonesia. Early Childhood Education is an important foundation in shaping children’s character and potential, encompassing physical, cognitive, language, socio-emotional, and creative development. This study implemented project-based learning with the theme "My Plants" at KB Sejahtera Mandiangin Barat as an innovative strategy to enhance the creativity and collaboration skills of children aged 5-6 years. Using descriptive qualitative methods, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that children's involvement in designing, planting, and caring for plants can trigger the emergence of creative ideas that are reflected in various forms of expression, such as drawing, storytelling, and hands-on practice in the field. In addition, children learn to work together through task allocation, simple discussions, and group decision-making. This collaboration not only improves social skills but also fosters a sense of responsibility and concern for shared outcomes. Barriers encountered, such as limited supporting facilities and varying levels of child participation, can be minimized through careful planning, the use of alternative media, and intensive mentoring from teachers. These findings strengthen the concept of experiential learning and social interaction as an effective approach in ECE. The “My Plants” project not only enhances creativity and collaboration but also fosters children's concern for the environment. This model is worth recommending as a good practice that can be replicated in other early childhood education institutions in Indonesia.
