Abstract

This study examined the relationship between cognitive ability and scientific attitude among children aged 4–5 years attending a science extracurricular program at PAUD Islam Makarima Kartasura, Sukoharjo. Preliminary observations indicated that the children’s scientific attitude, particularly critical thinking, curiosity, and sensitivity to the surroundings, remained limited. A quantitative correlational design was employed. The population consisted of 34 children, and 32 were selected through simple random sampling using the Slovin’s formula. Cognitive ability was assessed with a performance test based on the learning and problem-solving scope of Indonesian Ministerial Regulation No. 137 of 2014, while scientific attitude was measured by a 30-item teacher-completed questionnaire grounded in Harlen’s six dimensions. After a normality test, the hypothesis was tested using Pearson product-moment correlation in SPSS 26. The mean cognitive score was 19.72 (SD = 2.703), with 62% of children in the Beginning to Develop category and 38% in Developing as Expected. The mean scientific attitude score was 82.16 (SD = 9.194), with 56% Beginning to Develop and 44% Developing as Expected. The correlation coefficient was r = 0.878 (p < 0.001), indicating a very strong positive relationship; approximately 77% of the variance in scientific attitude was shared with cognitive ability. As the design is correlational, the result does not establish causation, and the influence of teachers, home stimulation, and age should be considered. The findings suggest that science activities for young children should train observation, classification, and reasoning together with attitudes such as asking questions and checking results.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (ECE) provision in Indonesia continues to face substantial disparities and challenges related to facilities and infrastructure. These issues are characterized by inadequate facilities in rural and remote areas, as well as the suboptimal utilization of available resources in urban settings, resulting in unequal service quality for young children. This study aims to map the comprehensive challenges and propose solution recommendations regarding the standards of facilities and infrastructure in ECE institutions across Indonesia. The research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework. Relevant articles were identified through Google Scholar and the Garuda Kemdikbud databases using the keywords “standar sarana dan prasarana PAUD” and “standards for early childhood education facilities and infrastructure.” Of the 40 initially identified articles, eight studies published between 2021 and 2026 were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings revealed four major challenges: (1) a gap between regulatory standards and their implementation in practice, particularly in remote areas; (2) significant disparities between urban and rural ECE institutions; (3) suboptimal management of educational play equipment (APE); and (4) limited institutional capacity among private ECE providers. Recommended solutions include strengthening regulatory implementation, promoting community-based facility development programs, increasing local government budget allocations, and enhancing the capacity of ECE administrators. These findings are expected to serve as an evidence-based reference for policymakers in improving the sustainability and quality of facilities and infrastructure in ECE institutions throughout Indonesia.
