Abstract

Early childhood education is a non-formal education for children under the age of six. The main aim of childcare centers is to prepare small children with basic knowledge before receiving a formal education as a first-grader in the primary schools. This paper discusses the findings of a study that focused on childcare trainees’ personal values in building a career in early childhood education. This study used the convergent parallel mixed method involving a survey and interviews, in which 1497 and 159 respondents were selected, respectively. Findings from qualitative data showed that childcare trainees had strong personal values by being respectful of their students, affectionate in taking care of children, and punctual in conducting their teaching lessons. Collectively, such traits can make these future teachers a good role model that students can emulate. More importantly, such strong personal values are extremely important to meet the strong demand for competent, caring childminders and early childhood education teachers, which has lately been made more urgent in view of the proliferation of childcare centers over the nation.

Abstract

Abstrak Penelitian ini berfokus kepada bagaimana pengelolaan bahan pembelajaran dalam literasi sains anak usia dini untuk metode Nature Outbound. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang menggunakan metode study kasus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana pengelolaan bahan pembelajaran dalam literasi sains anak usia dini menggunakan metode Nature Outbound. Data penelitian didapatkan dari hasil wawancara terstruktur, observasi dan analisis dokumen. Analisis data dalam penelitian ini menggunakan software Atlas.ti versi 9.0. Peserta penelitian terdiri dari 6 orang guru dari 3 sekolah PAUD yang memiliki latar belakang pendidikan anak usia dini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan bahan pembelajaran sains anak usia dini dengan benar dapat membantu guru dalam pencapaian suatu objektif pembelajaran dengan lebih berkesan dimana kriteria bahan pembelajaran yang digunakan adalah : 1) Benda-benda nyata, 2) aman bagi anak-anak, 3) memberikan informasi pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa pemilihan dan pengelolaan bahan pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan aktifitas yang dijalankan dalam proses pengajaran dapat membantu guru untuk menyalurkan informasi pembelajaran sains anak usia dini dengan tepat dan efektif.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze articles that meet the criteria of the study of the litelature study of Computational Thinking research trends in Mathematics learning at the elementary level in 2019-2024, the research method uses PRISMA, all articles have been filtered according to the needs of the research. The results of the study revealed that there were two articles that used CT in high school Mathematics learning. The results of the first article of the study showed that high school students had a positive attitude towards programming and high self-efficacy. Meanwhile, the results of the second article research show that educational games can improve students' academic achievement. In addition, this learning approach provides a fun learning environment. This study is expected to be a reference for future researchers

Abstract

This study focuses on designing a project-based learning module for early science education for home-based learning. The module comprises four dimensions: plants, planets, magnets and robotics, and weather. Using a quantitative approach and the design and development research (DDR) method, 15 early childhood education (ECE) experts were surveyed through a questionnaire with 20 items on a seven-point Likert scale. The Fuzzy Delphi method (FDM) with triangular Fuzzy numbers (TFN) was employed for data analysis, revealing a high level of expert consensus on the essential components of the module. The study achieved over 75% agreement, exceeding the threshold value (d) of 0.2 and α-cut of 0.5. Each dimension received favorable acceptance scores: plants (0.874), magnets and robotics (0.890), planets (0.918), and weather (0.903). The study emphasizes the acceptability of expert opinions on these dimensions, providing a valuable resource for early science education at home. The findings support addressing gaps in contributing to achieving sustainable development goal 4.2 by ensuring access to quality education for children.

Abstract

The results of PISA 2022 show that Indonesian students are still weak in science literacy, mathematics, and technology-based problem solving, which are the basis for developing computational thinking (CT) skills. CT includes four primary indicators: decomposition to break down significant problems into smaller parts, pattern recognition to find similarities in data, abstraction to filter out irrelevant information, and algorithms to design systematic steps in solving problems. There are many ways to train CT, so this study uses block programming and the Quarky robot. This approach was chosen because it is visual and interactive and makes it easier to apply CT concepts practically, making it suitable for building 21st-century skills. The study was conducted in two high schools in Banda Aceh, involving 20 students from school A and 26 students from school B. Students were divided into two study groups in each school. Learning activities were designed based on STEMC in the form of Student Worksheets (LKPD), which include interactive learning scenarios, block programming challenges, and exploration of the Quarky robot's functions to solve real problems. The activities were arranged in stages, from a basic introduction to applying CT concepts in solving complex problems. The results showed a significant increase in students' CT abilities, especially in the algorithm indicator. Although both schools progressed, school B recorded higher growth, with better pre-test and post-test results than school A. This shows that block programming-based learning and Quarky robots effectively improve CT skills, which is essential in 21st-century education
