Abstract

Parenting has a central role in shaping early childhood character and behavior. In a modern social context characterized by high mobility and economic pressure, many parents unknowingly apply a permissive parenting style that emphasizes children's freedom rather than controlling behavior. This condition raises new problems in the form of a decline in children's ability to regulate emotions and obey social rules. Although a number of previous studies have discussed the relationship between parenting and child development, there are still limited studies that examine the emotional and social dimensions of permissive parenting in children aged 4-5 years directly in the context of families and early childhood education institutions—suggesting that there is a research gap that needs to be bridged.This study aims to describe the real practice of implementing permissive parenting and analyze its influence on the social-emotional behavior of children aged 4-5 years. The research method uses a qualitative approach of the type of case study. Participants consisted of 12 people (4 parents, 4 early childhood teachers, and 4 children) who were selected purposively based on direct involvement in parenting interactions. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and field documentation, using semi-structured interview guides and child behavior observation sheets as the main instruments. Data analysis was carried out with the interactive model Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing that took place simultaneously.The results of the study show that permissive parenting often arises due to emotional factors (fear of disappointing children) and social factors (busy work, economic pressure, and "inbearable" culture). Children who are raised permissively tend to be confident and expressive, but experience obstacles in emotional control, obedience to rules, and social cooperation. These findings confirm that permissive parenting has a dual impact: it strengthens children's emotional freedom but weakens self-discipline and regulation. Therefore, this study recommends synergy between parents and PAUD institutions in balancing affection and discipline to support children's social-emotional development optimally.

Abstract

Purpose This study aims to describe in depth the learning strategies applied by teachers in developing the numeracy skills of children aged 5-6 years and to analyze the effectiveness of the traditional dakon game as a medium for numeracy learning.Methodology This type of research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with an in-depth and comprehensive case study design on a particular phenomenon. The research was conducted in the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year (July-August 2026) at ABA Bengkle Kindergarten, Bengkle Hamlet, Semarang Regency. The object of the research is the Traditional Game Dakon, with the research subjects being 5-6 year old children of ABA Bengkle Kindergarten. Data were collected through field data sources obtained through direct observation, involving children and teachers as informants.Results The results of the study showed that effective learning strategies involved apperception and demonstration, small group formation, scaffolding/mentoring, and simple question and answer sessions that were repeated (2-3 times the game). The dakon game was proven to be effective in developing various aspects of numeracy, including counting skills, the concept of more or less, logical thinking and problem solving, and recognizing patterns. Data analysis confirmed that dakon was very effective as a numeracy medium, marked by significant improvements in focus, motivation, and increased children's ability to recognize the concept of more or less, count fluently, and solve simple problems.Applications/Originality/Value This research to analyze in depth the instructional strategies employed by teachers in developing early numeracy skills of children age 5-6 years through the traditional game dakon, specifically, the research to identify the forms of pedagogical the aspect of numeracy developed through the game, and evaluate the effectiveness of dakon as a culturally grounded learning context for fostering early numeracy in early childhood education.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas kebutuhan yang semakin meningkat untuk mengintegrasikan pemikiran komputasional (CT) ke dalam pendidikan anak usia dini dengan cara yang sesuai dengan perkembangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkonseptualisasikan dan menyempurnakan kerangka kerja pedagogis yang mengintegrasikan pembelajaran berbasis bermain dan pemikiran komputasional tanpa perangkat digital untuk mendukung pembelajaran STEAM di usia dini. Pendekatan penelitian berbasis desain kualitatif digunakan melalui siklus iteratif desain, implementasi, observasi, dan penyempurnaan di kelas anak usia dini. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi kelas yang direkam video, catatan lapangan, jurnal reflektif guru, artefak anak-anak, dan diskusi kelompok fokus. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa konstruksi CT seperti decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, algorithmic thinking muncul secara alami dalam skenario bermain terstruktur ketika didukung oleh perancah guru yang disengaja. Analisis interaksi menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan CT dimediasi secara sosial melalui dialog, pemecahan masalah kolaboratif, dan keterlibatan material daripada bergantung pada alat digital. Studi ini menghasilkan kerangka kerja pedagogis yang disempurnakan yang terdiri dari desain bermain terstruktur, perancah strategis, dan mediasi material nyata untuk memperkuat kompetensi STEAM di usia dini.

Abstract

Nutrition and health problems in early childhood are important factors in the process of child growth and development and require serious attention from parents and educators. The Central Leadership of Nasyiatul Aisyiyah implements the TIMBANG (Improve Balanced Nutrition) Program in Tieng Village as one of the stunting locus areas in Wonosobo Regency. Based on preliminary data, the prevalence of stunting in Tieng Village reached 30%, far above the WHO standard of 22%. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the 12-day supplemental feeding program for stunted toddlers in Tieng Village. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with informants consisting of the Central Leadership of Nasyiatul Aisyiyah, village heads, TIMBANG coordinators, village midwives, human development cadres, and stunting mothers under five. Data was collected through in-depth observation and interviews. The results of the study showed that the program was running according to standards and no significant obstacles were found. The program has succeeded in reducing the number of stunting toddlers from 110 to 76 children. These findings show that the provision of additional food has a positive impact in accelerating stunting reduction so that the village government is expected to allocate a budget for the sustainability of the program.

Abstract

Purpose – Computational Thinking (CT) is widely recognized as a key competency in 21st-century education; however, its implementation in early childhood settings remains predominantly associated with digital technologies, leaving its development in low-resource contexts underexplored. This study aims to examine how CT skills emerge through unplugged coding games in early childhood education and to identify the contextual factors shaping their implementation.Design/methods/approach – This study employed a qualitative multiple case study design across three early childhood education settings in Surakarta, Indonesia. Data were collected through six weeks of non-participatory classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with teachers. Observational data were analyzed using a computational thinking framework, while interview data were examined inductively to uncover enabling and constraining factors.Findings – Findings reveal that unplugged coding games, grounded in concrete materials and play-based activities, facilitate the emergence of core CT skills, including sequencing, decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and problem-solving. These skills develop through embodied, collaborative, and iterative play processes, where children actively construct solutions within meaningful contexts. However, teachers tend to mediate these processes implicitly, often without explicitly recognizing or articulating them as CT practices, which may limit pedagogical intentionality.Research implications/limitations – The study is limited to three cases within a single regional context and a relatively short observation period, which may constrain the transferability of findings. Nevertheless, it contributes to the conceptualization of CT as a socially mediated and play-based learning process in early childhood, extending beyond technology-centric approaches.Practical implications – The findings highlight the feasibility of integrating CT into early childhood education through unplugged, play-based pedagogies, offering an accessible and contextually adaptable approach for low-resource settings.Originality/value – This study advances the CT literature by demonstrating that computational thinking can emerge through non-digital, play-based interactions in early childhood contexts, challenging dominant technology-driven paradigms and providing empirical evidence from the Global South to broaden theoretical and geographical representation in the field.Paper type Research paper
