Abstract

Independence in early childhood is not limited to performing daily tasks autonomously, but also encompasses broader dimensions such as initiative, self-confidence, responsibility, discipline, emotional regulation, and social interaction. This study aims to describe the teacher’s role in fostering children’s independence through a mindful and context-based deep learning approach. The research involved one classroom teacher and 12 children aged 5–6 years in Class B at Trisula Perwari Kindergarten, Purwakarta. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, using observation, interviews, and documentation for data collection. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that teachers play essential roles as facilitators, motivators, and guides in developing indicators of responsibility, initiative, and adaptability through intentional and contextual learning practices. Furthermore, the partnership between the school and parents is identified as a key factor in ensuring consistent development of children’s independence both at school and at home.

Abstract

The research was driven by concerns that many young children in Indonesia still depend on adults for routine tasks, which may limit the development of essential self-help skills needed for successful adaptation to formal schooling. This study aims to examine the influence of democratic parenting styles on early childhood independence in facing challenges in the era of Society 5.0. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from parents who applied democratic parenting, using a 1–4 Likert-scale questionnaire. The Pearson correlation test showed a significance value of 0.031 < 0.05, indicating a positive and significant relationship between democratic parenting and early childhood independence. These findings suggest that democratic parenting can effectively enhance children’s confidence, responsibility, and autonomy, supporting their ability to adapt to the demands of Society 5.0.
