Abstract

Temper tantrums in toddlers are generally explained by psychological factors, while the role of biochemical mechanisms has not yet been extensively studied. This study aims to analyze the biochemical mechanisms underlying the relationship between the consumption of sugary foods and emotional dysregulation in toddlers. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review, analyzing scientific articles and reputable references on glucose metabolism, neurotransmitters, neurobiology, and emotional regulation. The analysis was conducted using content analysis to develop a conceptual synthesis of sucrose digestion, insulin regulation, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, dopamine and serotonin synthesis, and changes in gene expression through epigenetic mechanisms. The results of the study indicate that excessive sugar consumption has the potential to trigger fluctuations in blood glucose that disrupt neuronal energy homeostasis and neurotransmitter balance, thereby increasing susceptibility to emotional dysregulation. However, this relationship cannot yet be deemed causal, as it is also influenced by psychological and environmental factors. These findings underscore the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to understanding tantrums in toddlers and provide a foundation for future experimental research.

Abstract

Science education in Islamic educational institutions is expected to foster scientific competencies while strengthening students’ faith, character, and spiritual identity. However, evidence regarding the impact of integrating Islamic values into science education remains scattered across various competency domains. This study aims to synthesize the reported impacts of integrating Islamic values on student competencies, identify factors influencing its implementation, and interpret these findings through the theory of worldview and the tauhid paradigm. A narrative literature review was conducted by analyzing relevant publications obtained from Scopus, ERIC, SINTA, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and supporting references using thematic and critical interpretive synthesis. The review revealed four consistent patterns: improved cognitive and academic achievement, the development of higher-order thinking skills, the formation of moral and spiritual character, and the influence of teacher competence, institutional support, curriculum flexibility, and epistemological coherence on its implementation. Overall, the integration of Islamic values into science education provides a holistic framework for developing students’ cognitive, intellectual, and moral competencies, although stronger longitudinal and cross-cultural evidence is still needed to establish its long-term effectiveness and broader application.
