Abstract

The inculcation of Islamic religious values, particularly concerning noble character (Akhlaq al-Karimah), in children is essential. This effort requires the involvement of various elements, not solely relying on formal educational institutions. It becomes more effective when families and communities are actively engaged. The family environment, often referred to as the first and foremost setting for a child's education, plays a critical role. In fostering values of goodness and virtue, parents are encouraged to communicate closely with their children. Parents should ideally serve as role models in all aspects of life for their children. Beyond their role as leaders, parents are primary educators within the household. Ideally, parents should guide, educate, train, teach, and exemplify behaviors that shape their children's character and support their learning activities. In the specific context of Lau Gumba Village, where Muslims are a minority, children are particularly vulnerable to the influences of non-Muslim peers. Additionally, the community's socio-economic conditions and the educational background of parents contribute to varied parenting styles. Some families provide significant attention to their children, while others tend to neglect the importance of family education, placing full responsibility on schools. Consequently, many children exhibit weak religious values. In this village, some children neglect their five daily prayers, fail to fast during Ramadan, consume alcoholic beverages (tuak), smoke, and adopt negative behaviors influenced by their environment's traditions

Abstract

Sexual violence is defined as any act that, as a result of power dynamics or gender relations, degrades, harasses, or attacks a person's body, causing or possibly causing psychological or physical suffering, as well as interfering with and preventing them from safely and effectively pursuing higher education. Anywhere can experience sexual violence, including on campus. When technology is misused, as in the instance of sexual harassment, a person's ignorance of its use might have detrimental effects. This study combined a qualitative approach with a library research methodology, whereby data was collected from books, journals, and other reading materials, and conclusions and suggestions were drawn in response to the issues found. When it comes to sexual harassment on campus, the researchers found that some incidents happened in locations that students don't often visit—namely, the library room—because there are so many online resources available for information. As a result, the researchers reached conclusions and recommendations regarding how to stop sexual harassment in higher education. They suggested creating online action in the form of slogans and posters that are shared by colleges, students, and the campus community through social media platforms already in place, as well as providing a platform or facility like a Counseling Service Unit related to sexual violence as a form of complaint to the Integrated Service Unit.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the implementation of physical play as a medium for gender-responsive learning in early childhood education. Gender stereotypes formed from an early age can limit children's developmental potential. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores how physical play can be an effective means to build gender equality awareness in children aged 4-6 years. Research findings show that physical play designed with a gender-responsive approach can reduce gender stereotypes, increase children's self-confidence regardless of gender, and develop motor skills inclusively. The implications of this research provide practical recommendations for early childhood educators in designing learning activities that support gender equality from an early age.

Abstract

 The development of creativity in early childhood within many Islamic educational institutions remains suboptimal because learning tends to be teacher-centered, offers limited exploration, and provides insufficient play experiences that stimulate higher-order thinking. This condition is also evident at Nurul Qur’an Stabat Kindergarten, where children have not yet gained adequate opportunities to experiment and generate original ideas. This study aims to examine how the implementation of STEAM-based learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) using Loose Parts can enhance early childhood creativity. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the use of Loose Parts in STEAM-based learning successfully improved children’s creative thinking abilities, particularly in problem-solving, innovation, flexibility, and the ability to generate new ideas. Children became more active, imaginative, and confident in expressing their thoughts. These results indicate that the integration of STEAM and Loose Parts is not only effective in fostering creativity but also relevant for enriching learning practices in Islamic educational institutions that aim to develop children’s potential holistically.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of STEAM-based learning integrated with loose parts media to develop early childhood creativity at TK Nurul Qur’an Stabat. The research was conducted in response to the increasing need for learning approaches that prepare young children to think critically, solve problems, and adapt to rapid technological development. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation to describe the real conditions of children aged 4–5 years before and during the application of STEAM activities using loose parts materials. The findings indicate that children’s creativity measured through their ability to generate new ideas, create original products, and modify existing formshad not developed optimally prior to the intervention. The implementation of STEAM with loose parts provided opportunities for children to explore, experiment, imagine, and create freely according to their ideas. The study concludes that STEAM-based learning using loose parts has strong potential to enhance early childhood creativity, supported by engaging activities that integrate science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. This approach also fosters children’s curiosity, collaborative skills, and problem-solving abilities. The research further identifies supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation process, emphasizing the need for teacher competence, appropriate learning media, and a conducive environment to optimize children’s creative development.

Abstract

The problem in this study is the gap in the number of children between boys and girls which causes gender discrimination in every learning process in the classroom. Thus, it causes low interest in learning in children and can affect children's learning activities during school. The purpose of this study was to be able to analyze children's interests through physical games that differentiate between girls and boys. So that children do not discriminate between genders in playing and learning. The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of 30 children aged 5-6 years (15 boys and 15 girls), 3 early childhood education teachers, and 2 principals in two kindergartens. The research instruments included structured observation guidelines, semi-structured interview guidelines, field note sheets, and visual documentation. Data collection techniques used participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation carried out for 3 months. Data analysis used the thematic analysis model of Braun and Clarke (2006) with the stages of data familiarization, initial coding, theme search, theme review, theme definition, and report preparation. With this method, researchers will obtain complete information about gender-responsive education. The results of the study show that the implementation of physical games designed with gender responsive principles can increase by providing equal opportunities for boys and girls to develop gross motor skills, self-confidence, and social skills without being limited by gender stereotypes. The implementation of physical games has been proven to increase gross motor development by 90% in girls and 85% in boys in the aspect of balance, increase children's confidence and self-efficacy in exploring physical activities without gender limitations, develop social skills and the ability to cooperate in heterogeneous groups, and help break down gender stereotypes through the understanding that abilities are not determined by gender but by individual effort and interest.

Abstract

This study investigates how deliberate, play-centred collaboration between parents and preschool teachers influences children’s cognitive development, addressing a research gap on coordinated home–school play strategies in Indonesian early childhood settings. Using a mixed-methods quasi-experimental design, 92 preschoolers (M = 5.1 years), 8 classroom teachers, and 92 parents from 4 urban preschools participated in an 8-week Partners in Play intervention. Parent–teacher dyads co-planned weekly play modules aligned with Vygotskian guided-play principles. Children’s working memory, verbal reasoning, and cognitive flexibility were assessed using adapted WPPSI-IV subtests before and after the intervention. At the same time, observational rubrics and parent play logs triangulated quantitative gains with qualitative insights. ANCOVA was used to test mean-score differences, and thematic coding in NVivo 14 examined communication patterns. Children in the intervention group outperformed controls in working memory (η² = 0.18) and cognitive flexibility (η² = 0.12). At the same time, gains in verbal reasoning approached significance (p = .07). Qualitative findings identified three reinforcing mechanisms: a shared play language that scaffolded metacognition; consistent cognitive challenges across home and school contexts; and reciprocal feedback loops that enabled weekly refinement of play activities. Reported barriers included limited parental time and teachers’ initial uncertainty in co-designing home-based activities. Although the modest sample size and urban focus limit generalisability, the findings offer an evidence-based, low-cost implementation model for early childhood programmes through brief co-planning workshops, a shared play glossary, and simple progress-sharing tools. This study contributes to broader debates on home–school partnership and play-based learning in early childhood education by providing experimental evidence that structured parent–teacher collaboration functions as an active cognitive scaffold within guided play, and is relevant beyond Indonesia because similar challenges of fragmented learning environments and uneven family engagement are evident across diverse ECE contexts.
