Abstract

Gross motor skills involve body movements that are important for early childhood development. Early childhood education institutions play a role in providing services that suit children's needs. Research on gross motor skills was conducted on children aged 5-6 years at ARRAHMA, focusing on the jumping rope game activity. The research method used is classroom action research. This research involved two cycles and 10 meetings with 10 children. Data was collected through interviews and observations. The research results show that jumping rope activities can improve gross motor skills, as evidenced by the percentage increase in each cycle. In cycle I, there was an increase of 10%, while in cycle II, there was excellent development of 80%. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the rope jumping activity effectively improves gross motor skills in children aged 5-6 years at ARRAHMA.

Abstract

The Use of Hearing Aids on the Communication Skills of Deaf Children at Sinar Indonesia Elementary School. Thesis. Bekasi: Universitas Panca Sakti Bekasi. 2025. This study aims to investigate the effect of using hearing aids on the communication skills of deaf children at Sinar Indonesia Elementary School. The research employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. The research subjects included a deaf child with special needs who uses hearing aids, the classroom teacher, and the school environment as supporting factors. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that consistent use of hearing aids provides significant positive effects. First, the child showed increased awareness of sounds, such as responding to the teacher’s call or the school bell. Second, the ability to understand simple instructions and conversations improved, which enhanced participation in group activities. Third, there was a noticeable increase in self-confidence and social skills, as seen in the child’s courage to greet, answer questions, initiate short conversations, and engage in group play. Fourth, supporting factors contributing to this success include consistent use of hearing aids, family support in ensuring optimal function, an inclusive school environment, and flexible teaching approaches by the teacher. In conclusion, this study confirms that hearing aids play a major role in enhancing the communication abilities of deaf children. However, their effectiveness is strongly influenced by the support of families, teachers, and the school environment. Therefore, collaboration among all parties is essential to optimize the communication and social development of deaf children.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of parenting styles on early childhood independence and the extent of this influence. The research method used in this study is quantitative research with a survey approach. The population of this study was 110 parents of students at SPS Al Firdaus and other institutions around Sawit Village, Darangdan District. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, resulting in a sample size of 25 people. Data collection used a questionnaire distributed via a Google Form link. The questionnaire used to determine the influence of parenting styles on early childhood independence was a closed-ended questionnaire. The data analysis used in the hypothesis testing was simple linear analysis. The results of the study show that: (1) There is an influence of the parenting pattern variable (X) on the independence of early childhood children (Y) with a Sig. value of 0.000 < 0.05. (2) The positive constant value obtained of 133.925 indicates that parenting patterns (X) have a positive effect on early childhood independence (Y) and the magnitude of the influence of the parenting pattern variable (X) on the early childhood independence variable (Y) is 9.8%, while the remaining 90.2% is influenced by other factors.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan dan menguji efektivitas Buku Cerita Berbasis Literasi Gizi sebagai media pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan pemahaman anak usia dini mengenai konsep gizi seimbang dan kebiasaan hidup sehat. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan Research and Development (R&D) dengan model ADDIE yang dipadukan dengan desain mixed methods tipe exploratory sequential. Tahap awal dilakukan analisis kebutuhan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan Focus Group Discussion (FGD) dengan 15 guru PAUD di Kota Bekasi guna mengidentifikasi tantangan pedagogis dalam pembelajaran literasi gizi. Temuan analisis kebutuhan ini menjadi dasar perancangan dan pengembangan buku cerita yang bersifat naratif-edukatif dan kontekstual. Produk yang dihasilkan kemudian diuji pada 60 anak usia 3–6 tahun melalui desain pretest–posttest untuk menilai efektivitasnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada pemahaman anak tentang gizi seimbang (t = 7,45; p < 0,001) serta peningkatan keterlibatan anak selama proses pembelajaran. Validasi ahli memperoleh skor rata-rata 4,8 dari skala 5, yang menunjukkan bahwa produk berada pada kategori “sangat layak” untuk digunakan dalam pembelajaran. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi teoretis dengan menghadirkan model pembelajaran naratif-edukatif berbasis kesehatan yang memperkuat literasi gizi pada anak usia dini.

Abstract

Purpose – Stunting remains a critical threat to early childhood development, with impacts on both physical growth and long-term cognitive outcomes, yet prevention efforts remain uneven. This study examines the role of parental health literacy in translating nutritional awareness into consistent daily feeding practices to support stunting prevention.Design/methods/approach – This study used a descriptive survey design with Rasch analysis to examine parental health literacy and parental attention to children’s nutritional needs in the context of stunting prevention. The study involved 176 parents of young children in Sukabumi Regency, Indonesia, selected through random sampling. Questionnaire data were used as the main source of analysis, while observations and brief conversations with parents were used only as contextual support in interpreting the setting. Rasch modeling was employed to assess item functioning, reliability, separation, and the distribution of respondents and items on the same logit scale.Findings – The findings indicate that parents more readily endorsed general forms of nutritional concern than structured feeding practices requiring consistent regulation of meal portions and meal times. This suggests that parental health literacy functions as an enabling condition, but does not automatically translate into stable household practice. The Rasch results showed strong measurement performance, with person reliability of 0.93, item reliability of 0.99, Cronbach’s alpha of 0.94, person separation of 3.63, and item separation of 13.67. Taken together, the results point to a meaningful gap between nutritional awareness and the practical organization of everyday feeding routines, which is where prevention appears most vulnerable.Research implications/limitations – The findings indicate that the main challenge in stunting prevention lies not in parental knowledge alone but in the consistent enactment of household feeding routines, positioning health literacy within everyday caregiving practices and constraints. The study is limited by self-reported data and a cross-sectional design, which preclude causal inference and longitudinal verification of child growth outcomes.Practical implications – The results suggest that interventions should move beyond general nutrition awareness toward strengthening routine-based practices such as portion control, meal timing, and balanced diet planning. These insights inform policymakers, health educators, early childhood practitioners, and families in designing more actionable, context-sensitive prevention strategies at the household level.Originality/value – This study advances stunting research by analytically distinguishing parental health literacy from the practical regulation of children’s feeding routines. By applying Rasch analysis to map differential item difficulty, it reveals a critical gap between nutritional awareness and structured practice, offering a grounded perspective for family-based prevention in rural and Global South contexts.Paper type Research paper
