Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of gamification on students' motivation and social collaboration in the educational environment. The problems identified were the low levels of motivation and collaboration in traditional learning methods. The aim of this study is to explore whether the application of gamification can improve both aspects. The methods used were experimental design with control groups and experiments, as well as the application of gamification class activities that included elements such as point systems, levels, and collaborative tasks. The main results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant increase in motivation and social collaboration compared to the control group. The average motivation score increased from 3.2 to 4.1, and the collaboration score increased from 3.0 to 4.0. These findings are in line with previous research that showed that gamification can increase student engagement through elements of games. In conclusion, gamification is an effective approach to increase students' motivation and social collaboration in learning.

Abstract

This research aims to describe parenting education in stimulating children's growth and development through the use of objects in the surrounding environment. Of course, this is also in line with the aim of research activities regarding parenting development strategies for parents in fostering early childhood development in the Lemungsur village community, Kebumen district and the community in Plandi village, Banyumas district. The researcher used a qualitative descriptive method. Data collection techniques use observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data collection tools are observation sheets, interview guides and documentation. Data processing was carried out using qualitative descriptive analysis. And the results of the research show that parenting training strategies in stimulating early childhood growth and development are really needed by the community in the region. The level of parental education also influences understanding of early childhood care, because almost 80% of local people do not think that using objects in the surrounding environment can be useful for stimulating the growth and development of early childhood. So with this research, the results obtained are that the public can understand good parenting patterns and uniting as parents is an important key to optimizing the stimulation of early childhood growth and development.

Abstract

Early childhood development faces significant challenges due to sedentary lifestyles and excessive screen time, affecting not only motor skills but also behavioral regulation and mindfulness. TK Nava Dhammasekha Dhamma Bakti Jaya has implemented Outdoor Learning since 2024; however, preliminary observations indicated that many children in group B still showed limitations in behavioral regulation and awareness during activities. This study aims to analyze the integration of Buddhist values in Outdoor Learning and its impact on mindfulness and behavioral development in early childhood education. This research employed a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design conducted over five months (July–November 2024). The participants included 13 children in group B, 3 teachers, and 1 principal. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using reflective thematic analysis, with source and technique triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that: (1) The integration of Buddhist values was implemented through three main mechanisms: breathing awareness before activities (sati), emphasis on effort rather than outcomes (viriya), and calm acceptance of failure (upekkhā); (2) Improvements in mindfulness and adaptive behavior were observed in 10 out of 13 children (76.9%), particularly in emotional regulation, attention focus, and calmness during activities; (3) Supporting factors included the availability of natural environments as learning affordances and strong teacher commitment, while inhibiting factors involved extreme weather conditions and parental safety concerns. In conclusion, integrating Buddhist values into Outdoor Learning effectively enhances mindfulness and adaptive behavior in early childhood through embodied awareness practices and the cultivation of perseverance. This model is particularly relevant for faith-based early childhood education, especially in rural contexts with limited resources
