Abstract

The high number of traffic accidents involving young children indicates the low level of traffic safety awareness from an early age. Traffic safety awareness is an important aspect of character development, particularly in fostering children’s discipline and responsibility. This study aims to analyze the level understanding and obedience of young children toward traffic rules and examine the roles of teachers, parents, the environment, and educational media in shaping children’s traffic discipline behavior. This study employed a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional survey design. The sample consisted of 50 children aged 4–6 years selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations using instruments that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis techniques included Pearson correlation, multiple linear regression, and ANOVA. The findings showed that the teacher’s role was the most significant factor influencing children’s traffic obedience. Educational media such as songs and stories also contributed positively to children’s understanding, while the roles of parents and the environment were not significant in the multiple regression analysis. The regression model demonstrated high accuracy in explaining variations in children’s traffic obedience. This study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between schools, families, and the government in integrating traffic safety education into early childhood learning through interactive and contextual approaches to strengthen children’s discipline and safety awareness from an early age. The implications of this study indicate that traffic safety education should be implemented systematically through role-model-based learning and educational media to develop culture of traffic discipline from early childhood.

Abstract

Quality Early Childhood Education (ECE) services require the involvement of various stakeholders, particularly collaboration between educational institutions and parents. However, parental involvement in the implementation of ECE services still faces several challenges, including limited time and a lack of understanding regarding the importance of participation in early childhood education. This study aims to analyze the implementation of optimizing quality ECE services through partnerships with parent associations. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of the principal, teachers, and members of the parent association committee. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies, and were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis techniques involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that structured collaboration between ECE institutions and parent associations contributed significantly to improving the quality of learning services, strengthening children’s character development, and supporting holistic child growth and development. The collaboration was implemented through parental involvement in learning activities, parenting programs, and project-based activities. Nevertheless, the study also identified challenges related to the limited participation of some parents. Therefore, continuous persuasive and educational approaches are needed to strengthen the synergy between families and schools in creating participatory, contextual, and sustainable ECE services.
