Abstract

This study explores the emotional experiences of preschool teachers during the implementation of learning evaluations. Utilizing a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research captures the lived experiences of 18 preschool teachers in Banten, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations from April to December 2023, employing snowball sampling to ensure relevant expertise. Thematic analysis revealed that teachers predominantly experienced positive emotions, such as pride, joy, and gratitude, during the planning and preparation of evaluation instruments. However, negative emotions, including anxiety and discomfort, emerged during the implementation and follow-up stages. These negative emotions were often linked to concerns about meeting educational targets and managing classroom dynamics effectively. The study identifies that positive emotions were associated with the perceived importance of evaluation planning and successful execution, while negative emotions were connected to fears of underperformance and external pressures. These findings highlight preschool teachers' complex emotional landscape, emphasizing the need for professional development programs focusing on emotional regulation and stress management. The study's implications suggest that fostering a supportive school environment can enhance teachers' well-being and effectiveness, ultimately benefiting student outcomes. Limitations include the small, geographically limited sample and reliance on self-reported data, which may introduce bias. Future research should expand the sample size, incorporate diverse geographical locations, and utilize mixed-methods approaches to comprehensively understand teachers' emotional experiences. Such research would enable the development of more effective support strategies for educators, contributing to improved educational practices and teacher satisfaction.

Abstract

Despite the increasing integration of digital technologies in early childhood education, there remains a significant gap in comprehensive, trend-based understanding of how these technologies support parental involvement. Existing studies often lack a systematic exploration of publication patterns, thematic focuses, and emerging innovations in this field. This study addresses that gap by analysing the scope and trajectory of research on technology that supports parental involvement in early childhood education using bibliometric review and data mapping techniques. This study examined relevant publications from 2014 to 2023 through computational mapping using VOSviewer software. Bibliometric data from 101 scholarly articles were retrieved via Harzing’s Publish or Perish software and analyzed to generate visualization maps that categorize research themes and trends. Findings indicate fluctuating but overall increasing trends in research output, with notable peaks after 2020, suggesting renewed interest in this domain, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. The visualization maps revealed core research themes centered around digital communication tools, parental engagement, and home-school collaboration. These findings have significant implications for future educational practices and policy development. They provide a foundation for enhancing digital strategies that foster equitable and meaningful parent-educator partnerships in early childhood education. Furthermore, they highlight the importance of addressing digital literacy gaps and promoting inclusive approaches in the design and implementation of technology-mediated parental involvement programs.
