Abstract

The Pre-Service Competency Teacher Level in Teaching Early Mathematics Instrument has been developed to measure the competency level and readiness to teach early mathematics in Preschool. This study was conducted to produce empirical evidence on the validity and reliability of this instrument by using the Rasch model. Surveys were conducted in three private universities that offer Early Childhood Education Programmes. A total of 85 pre-service teachers were selected as a sample of the study through simple random sampling. The validity and reliability of the instrument were measured using Rasch's model through Winstep software version 3.68.2. The findings of the unidimensionality test showed 46.1%. The Rasch analysis shows the person reliability index is 0.8 with a separation index is 2.05. The item reliability index is 0.91 and the separation index is 3.18. The item fitness analysis found 29 items in the instruments are in the valid range and one item that falls out of the allowed range. The finding showed that this instrument has a high degree of validity and reliability and can be used to measure the competency level of pre-service teaching in teaching early mathematics.

By exposing children to diverse characters, situations, and perspectives, picture books help young learners understand emotions, social relationships, and ethical values in developmentally appropriate ways. This study explores the effectiveness of picture books as a pedagogical tool for teaching humanity in preschool settings. Through a qualitative approach using focus group discussions (FGD), insights were gathered from six participants which are educators, storytellers, and publishers to explore the potential and the characteristics of picture books in teaching humanity to pre-schoolers. The findings highlight that picture books are potentially used in teaching humanity because able in fostering empathy; enhancing moral and ethical reasoning; make learning more interactive and engaging; and able to promote cultural awareness and Identity to children. The study also reveals six characteristic of picture books to be used in teaching humanity such as relatable and diverse character; engaging illustration; simple and clear language; moral and ethical lessons; interactive elements; and culturally sensitivity. The findings have significant implications for curriculum development, teacher training, and policy-making in early childhood education, particularly in multicultural contexts like Malaysia. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on the educational potential of picture books, offering practical insights for educators, policymakers, and parents.
