Abstract

The importance of early childhood multiple intelligences lied in the fact that every child possesses unique talents and potential. Various forms of intelligence, including verbal, mathematical reasoning, visual-spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, kinesthetic, and naturalistic, enable educators to adapt learning approaches to meet the unique needs of each child. This study aims to enhance the numerical aptitude of children between the ages of 4 and 5 by utilizing the Sunda Manda number game at the Dharma Wanita Nadi II Kindergarten, Bulukerto. This study employs descriptive qualitative methodologies. The data collection process involved triangulation, including interviews with teachers from class A to gather information. Additionally, observations were made while the children were playing Sunda Manda numbers. Documentation was also done while playing Sunda Manda numbers to record relevant information about the children. The participants in the study consisted of teachers and pupils classified as class A, with an age range of 4-5 years. The research findings indicate that the Sunda Manda game numbers can enhance numeracy intelligence in children with auditory processing disorders associated with symbolic thinking, logical thinking, and learning and problem-solving abilities. Then, the game also promotes children's physical development through three stages: education, expansion, and development.

Abstract

Fathers’ involvement plays an important role in supporting the development of children’s social skills; however, in practice, this involvement is not always optimal. This study aims to explore the role of fathers in co-parenting practices related to the development of children’s social skills at TK Dharma Wanita Nguntoronadi, Magetan. This research employed a qualitative case study approach. The participants consisted of five fathers and two teachers, selected as key informants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using source triangulation to ensure data credibility. The findings indicate that: (1) the kindergarten has programs designed to foster children’s social skills, which require active father involvement to function optimally; (2) fathers are generally aware of their roles in nurturing children’s social development; (3) this awareness is reflected in their efforts to allocate quality time with their children; (4) fathers employ various interaction patterns to support social skill development, including teaching polite communication, engaging in play and recreational activities, maintaining dialogue, reading bedtime stories, sharing meals, and exercising together; and (5) fathers adopt diverse parenting strategies, often through discussion and coordination with their spouses. In conclusion, fathers play a significant and positive role in co-parenting practices that support the development of children’s social skills. Strengthening father involvement through collaborative parenting can further enhance children’s social competence.
