Abstract

Background: Temper tantrums often occur in early childhood and can disrupt learning and social interaction in kindergarten settings. Specific background: At one kindergarten in Kaliorang District, repeated tantrums among students led teachers to develop structured strategies. Knowledge gap: Although tantrums are common, there is limited research exploring practical classroom-based programs designed by teachers themselves in Indonesian early childhood contexts. Aims: This study examines the structure, application, and challenges of the “Gentle Heart” program designed to manage temper tantrums in kindergarten. Results: Using a qualitative case study involving two experienced teachers over three months, findings show that the program reduces tantrum intensity and frequency through a calm–reflect–guide approach. Teachers allow emotional expression, wait for children to regain calm, and then engage them in reflective dialogue. Novelty: The study highlights a locally developed, teacher-led program that integrates emotional regulation strategies without external psychological intervention. Implications: The program offers a practical framework for early childhood teachers to manage tantrums in class, emphasizing the need for teacher assistants to sustain learning during tantrum episodes. Highlight Teachers apply structured emotional regulation steps to manage tantrums. The program shows reduced frequency and intensity of temper tantrums. Staffing support is essential for maintaining classroom learning flow. Keyword Temper Tantrum, Early Childhood Education, Emotional Regulation, Classroom Program, Teacher Strategies

Special education strategic issues developed in a line of developments in the equal rights aof all people access education, and they moved from the segregatif paradigm to inclusive paradigm.

Abstract

Literacy development in children aged 5–6 is crucial for fostering cognitive growth, school readiness, and social competence. However, implementing effective literacy teaching strategies remains challenging in diverse educational settings. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to examine the impact of digital learning media on early childhood literacy, focusing on the competencies developed and factors influencing effectiveness. Analysis of 34 selected studies reveals that digital media significantly enhances literacy skills, particularly in language, communication, and cognitive domains. Interactive tools such as digital storybooks, educational applications, and learning games promote engagement, vocabulary expansion, narrative comprehension, and critical thinking. The active involvement of parents and educators is essential in guiding children and selecting developmentally appropriate digital content. Although the direct effects on reading and writing acquisition remain underexplored, findings suggest that integrating digital media in literacy instruction can make learning more enjoyable and effective. The study concludes that digital media serves as a promising pedagogical tool to strengthen early literacy when supported by active adult participation, thoughtful content design, and conducive learning environments.

Abstract

Background: Inclusive early childhood education emphasizes equal learning opportunities and holistic child development. Specific background: Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder often experience barriers in maintaining focus and engaging in positive social interaction within group learning. Knowledge gap: Few studies have systematically applied constructivist-based educational games to address both social and concentration difficulties in early learners with this condition. Aims: This study examines how constructivist-oriented educational games can develop social interaction skills and learning concentration among kindergarten children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Results: Implemented through two cycles of classroom action research, the study demonstrated significant progress—social interaction improved from 40% to 91.66%, and learning concentration from 39% to 85.71%. Novelty: The study presents an innovative application of constructivist pedagogy through play-based activities that nurture collaboration, emotional regulation, and sustained focus. Implications: Findings reinforce the importance of playful, inclusive, and child-centered approaches in supporting social and cognitive development in children with attention and behavioral challenges. Highlights: Constructivist-based educational play improved focus, emotional control, and collaboration in children with attention challenges. Significant development occurred in both social interaction and concentration across two research cycles. Playful learning created an engaging and supportive environment for inclusive early education. Keywords: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Constructivist Approach, Educational Games, Social Interaction, Learning Concentration

Abstract

Background: Social–emotional development is a fundamental domain in early childhood education that shapes children's ability to interact, self-regulate, and build empathy. Specific background: Children with special needs require targeted strategies and structured programs to develop social–emotional competencies within inclusive settings. Knowledge gap: Although various kindergartens have implemented social–emotional programs, limited studies detail their classroom-level application using the CASEL framework. Aims: This study explores how Al-Ikhlas Kindergarten implements social–emotional learning (SEL) for children with special needs through instructional, integrative, and participatory approaches. Results: Findings reveal that teachers apply explicit instruction, integrate SEL values across learning components, and involve students in classroom leadership, decision-making, and problem-solving. The process strengthens empathy, cooperation, and self-control among students. Novelty: The study highlights a contextualized model of SEL implementation in early childhood inclusive education grounded in the CASEL indicators. Implications: The results emphasize the need for teacher training and structured planning to optimize social–emotional competencies among children with special needs in inclusive classrooms. Highlights Explicit instruction supports the social–emotional growth of children with special needs. Integration of SEL principles into learning promotes inclusive and meaningful classroom interaction. Student participation develops leadership, empathy, and collaboration skills.
