Abstract

Critical thinking is increasingly recognized as a core competency of the 21st century that must be cultivated from the early stages of education. However, in early childhood education practices, the development of critical thinking still tends to focus on formal approaches and modern or digital games, while the potential of traditional games rich in cultural context and cognitive challenges has not been systematically studied. Traditional cultural practices are often positioned merely as recreational activities, rather than as pedagogical media for developing children's higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, this study aims to examine how traditional Banyumasan games, particularly Lowok and Lithongan, contribute to fostering children's critical thinking skills. Through Systematic Literature Network Analysis (SLNA), this study reviewed and mapped 163 scientific articles indexed by Scopus and Web of Science published between 2010 and 2024. Bibliometric and network analyses were conducted using VOS viewer to identify keyword relationships, co-citation patterns, bibliographic coupling, and collaboration networks between authors, institutions, and countries. The research findings reveal four main clusters: critical thinking and problem-solving in early childhood education, culture-based pedagogy through traditional games, collaborative learning and social interaction, and the integration of 21st-century skills in a game-based approach. The mapping results also indicate that neuroscientific perspectives examining the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying traditional game-based learning remain underexplored, highlighting a significant research gap in this field. Although this field is rapidly developing, publications are still dominated by American and European sources, with contributions from Southeast Asia limited. This research contributes to the development of educational science by demonstrating how culture-based pedagogical practices can strengthen children's critical thinking skills while opening up cross-cultural and longitudinal research directions.

Abstract

Purpose – This systematic literature review explores the development of digital literacy among children in the post-typographic era, where digital technology increasingly dominates daily life. The purpose of this study is to identify the impact of digital literacy on various dimensions of cognitive development in young children, including early numeracy, executive functioning, critical thinking, and creativity. By broadening the conceptualization of cognitive development, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how digital literacy contributes to children's intellectual growth in early childhood education.Design/methods/approach – Analysis of 33 studies obtained from the period between 2019 and 2024 indicates that children engage in multimodal practices, using technology for both play and learning. This highlights the importance of educators' understanding of digital literacy practices at home. Factors such as children's age, family structure, household income, and Human Development Index (HDI) significantly contribute to predicting preschool children's early digital literacy.Findings – The findings show that while children's literacy skills may benefit from access to digital resources, their mathematical skills do not demonstrate significant improvement. However, this study recommends that teachers collaborate with parents to enhance digital literacy and awareness of digital data security. Additionally, the use of interactive digital media can increase children's engagement and motivation in learning, allowing for more differentiated and inclusive learning approaches.Research implications/limitations – Future research should prioritize the development of age-appropriate, culturally relevant, and innovative digital content that can support effective teaching and learning in the digital age. Additional longitudinal studies are needed to explore the long-term cognitive and socio-emotional effects of digital media exposure in early childhood.Practical implications – Digital literacy can help children develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity skills. However, exposure to age-inappropriate content can hinder their social-emotional development. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for training and support for educators in using digital media, as well as close collaboration with parents to ensure the successful implementation of digital literacy in early childhood education.Originality/value – This review offers a novel contribution by integrating multiple dimensions of cognitive development with the concept of digital literacy. It provides valuable insights into the future of educational practices, emphasizing the importance of digital competencies as foundational elements in early childhood education in the digital era.Paper type Literature review

Abstract

Food insecurity remains a critical issue affecting early childhood health. Early food knowledge significantly shapes children’s dietary behaviors, underscoring the need for effective pedagogical integration within early education settings. This study aims to systematically examine the integration of food pedagogy and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and to analyze its impact on children’s health knowledge and healthy food choices. This systematic literature review followed PRISMA guidelines. Peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2014 and 2024 were retrieved from the Scopus database using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles focusing on early childhood populations, food or nutrition education, and project-based or experiential learning approaches were selected. Data were extracted and synthesized thematically to identify instructional patterns and reported outcomes. The findings indicate that integrating food pedagogy within PjBL enhances nutritional knowledge, fosters positive attitudes toward healthy foods, and supports informed dietary decision-making. Evidence consistently shows that experiential and collaborative projects contribute to sustainable healthy eating behaviors in early childhood. Overall, food pedagogy implemented through project-based learning represents a promising approach to strengthening early preventive efforts against food insecurity.

Abstract

Parenting is a central site of children’s character formation, especially in culturally diverse societies where values are learned, negotiated, and reinforced through everyday relationships. Drawing on character education and informed by broader discussions in social and emotional learning (SEL) and SDG 4.7, this study examined how value-based parenting dimensions, namely trust, caring, tolerance, helpfulness, and forgiveness, are associated with children’s character development in Indonesia’s multicultural context. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 112 female primary caregivers from five regions of Indonesia, Kuningan, Bogor, Tasikmalaya, Manado, and Jayapura, and the proposed model was analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that trust, caring, tolerance, and forgiveness are significant positive predictors of children’s character development, reflected in honesty and integrity, empathy and care, respect for difference, and constructive conflict resolution. Helpfulness, however, did not show a statistically significant direct effect once the other parenting dimensions were examined simultaneously. These findings suggest that children’s character development is better understood through an integrated moral-relational configuration of parenting values than through any single value considered in isolation. The study contributes to scholarship by clarifying which parenting values retain distinct explanatory relevance within a combined model and by showing that helpfulness may operate in a more indirect or context-dependent way. It also offers a modest global contribution by bringing evidence from a multicultural Indonesian setting into wider debates on family-based character development in diverse societies. The findings have practical implications for parenting education, early childhood programmes, and family-school partnerships that seek to strengthen value-based character formation.

Abstract

Learning Mathematical communication is essential for early cognitive development, yet few studies have examined how multiple developmental factors influence this skill simultaneously. This study explores the extent to which conceptual understanding, motor skills, and learning enthusiasm affect mathematical communication in early childhood. A total of 159 children aged 4–6 years from six Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions in Java and Bali participated in the study. An explanatory quantitative method was applied using a one-group pretest-posttest design. A Likert-scale questionnaire measured four latent variables: conceptual understanding, motor skills, learning enthusiasm, and mathematical communication. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL. Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed good model fit with all loading factors above 0.50 and construct reliability above 0.70. The results demonstrated that all three variables significantly influenced children's mathematical communication skills, with motor skills having the greatest impact. Additional qualitative data from teacher journals, observations, and interviews provided deeper insights into how movement, interaction, and motivation contribute to children’s ability to express mathematical ideas. This study underlines the importance of integrating cognitive, physical, and affective aspects in early math learning. The research is limited by its short duration and localized sample. Further studies should consider broader contexts and long-term implementation
