Abstract

Lying tendencies in young children are a prevalent concern that may arise from insufficient cognitive awareness, anxiety over repercussions, or inadequate moral instruction. This study explores how teachings of Aqidah Akhlak can be utilized as a proactive measure against dishonesty in pre-schoolers residing in Semarang City. Employing a qualitative descriptive framework, the research encompasses direct observations, discussions with educators and parents, and an analysis of educational documents. Results indicate that truthfulness can be nurtured effectively through narratives, music, and dramatization that highlight moral teachings. A nurturing educational atmosphere coupled with ongoing cooperation between teachers and families is vital for reinforcing these principles. Nonetheless, the challenge remains in maintaining consistency and distinguishing between creative expressions and lies. This research emphasizes the significance of embedding moral education into everyday classroom interactions to foster honesty from a young age.

This type of research is Qualitative Research. The approach used is phenomenology. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The validity of the data was tested using triangulation techniques derived from observations and interviews with teachers and villagers. The results showed that strategies are establishing good communication with local village officials involving local communities in managing institutions to be accepted by local communities. This research is essential for developing Islamic early childhood education institutions in multicultural societies. The appropriate strategy in establishing communication with village officials and involving local communities in the institution's management makes the institution integrate well into the surrounding environment. This strategy helps Islamic early childhood education institutions to thrive and face future challenges. This study implies that establishing educational institutions with a specific religious identity in a multicultural society requires effective strategies, coordination with related parties, and support from the community.

Abstract

In managing learning, teachers need information to meet children's different learning styles and interests. Recognizing children's intelligence from an early age can be determined through the Sensing, Thinking, Intuiting, Feeling, and Instinct Intelligence Test (STIFIn). This is useful for knowing the child's learning style, characteristics, and interests so that it can be said to be suitable for carrying out differentiated learning based on the child's characteristics. This research aims to identify children's interests and talents to help provide an overview of the potential components of each child's character and solutions for handling problematic children. The method used is a descriptive qualitative case study type with an inductive deductive pattern. The research results show that teachers can use the STIFIn test results as a basis for creating a learning environment that suits children's needs based on the characteristics recognized in each child, through predetermined differentiation of strategies, media, and evaluation of learning in early childhood. implemented to support development. early childhood according to their needs and potential.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze in depth the content of character education values, especially concern for the environment contained in the animated cartoon series "Tayo The Little Bus" and its relevance as a learning medium for early childhood. This research is a library research with a qualitative descriptive method that applies content analysis. The research data comes from five episodes of the animated cartoon "Tayo The Little Bus" which were specifically selected to raise the theme of cleanliness and the environment. Data collection was carried out through documentation techniques with observation methods of listening and taking notes on the elements of analysis in the form of dialogue, narration, scene engineering, and character actions contained in the five episodes. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted by referring to the theory of cognitive and moral development of early childhood and the basis of character education. The results of the analysis show that in terms of cognitive aspects, this animation successfully presents the concept of introducing waste and environmental cleanliness responsibilities into concrete images through character visualization in its five episodes based on children's thinking stages. The Tayo The Little Bus cartoon animation presents a strong behavioral model through musical scenes in the episodes "Cleaning Song" and "I Like Clean Mountains" which are arranged to stimulate positive psychomotor skills in children, and the form of the story in these episodes consistently builds an understanding of the real impact of actions to protect and from actions to ignore the environment. In conclusion, as a learning through media, "Tayo The Little Bus" has strong feasibility to be used as a supporting medium in environmental care character education at the Early Childhood Education level.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the innovation of student management in character building at Pondok Pesantren Ashhabul Kahfi Semarang. This research employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that character formation is implemented through three main programs: Muhasabah wa Tarbiyah, Muhadharah, and the persuasive approach. The Muhasabah wa Tarbiyah program serves as a routine evaluation to foster discipline and responsibility. The Muhadharah program develops students’ courage, communication skills, and social competence. Meanwhile, the persuasive approach is applied in disciplinary guidance, where sanctions function as educational consequences and forms of responsibility rather than punitive measures. These findings emphasize that the integration of student management and Islamic educational values can produce effective character building that is relevant to modern educational challenges.

Abstract

Background: Early cognitive development forms the basis for children's logical reasoning, problem-solving, and symbolic understanding, which can be stimulated through direct experience. Objective:  This study aims to analyze the improvement in cognitive abilities of children aged 4-5 years through science experiments with a focus on indicators of problem solving, logical thinking, and symbolic thinking. Method: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach on 13 children, with data obtained through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies, and analyzed using the Miles & Huberman interactive model through triangulation of sources and methods. Result:  Children demonstrated progress in problem solving, logical thinking, and symbolic thinking through their ability to explain cause-and-effect relationships, group objects, and recognize geometric symbols. The experimental activities also improved expressive language skills. This study is unique in that it combines two types of science experiments to stimulate three cognitive indicators, as well as the application of a reflective approach by teachers. Conclusion: Science experiments support the strengthening of logical thinking, problem solving, and the use of symbols, as well as developing children's verbal abilities.

Abstract

Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in senior high schools still tends to be teacher-centered, resulting in limited development of students’ active participation, creativity, and independent learning. This condition highlights the need for a learning approach that encourages exploration, concept discovery, and active student engagement. The Exploratory Discovery approach is considered relevant as it emphasizes independent exploration, group discussion, concept discovery, and reflection, which align with constructivist principles and 21st-century competencies. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Exploratory Discovery approach in PAI learning for grade XI students at SMA Negeri 03 Semarang and to analyze the forms of student creativity as well as the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting its effectiveness. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with purposive sampling involving three PAI teachers and five grade XI students. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, including lesson plans, syllabi, and students’ work. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. The findings indicate that the implementation of the Exploratory Discovery approach enhances students’ creativity in the form of mind maps, posters, miniatures, and critical argumentation skills. Supporting factors include a conducive learning environment and the teacher’s role as a facilitator, while inhibiting factors include differences in student readiness, limited instructional time, and initial dependence on the teacher.
