Abstract

General Background: Early Childhood Education (ECE) plays a crucial role in optimizing multiple domains of child development, particularly cognitive abilities related to thinking, understanding, memory, and problem-solving. Specific Background: Children aged 5–6 years require engaging learning environments and appropriate stimulation to support emerging skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and cause-and-effect reasoning. Knowledge Gap: Observations at RA Darul Arqom indicated that several children showed suboptimal cognitive performance, partly due to conventional teaching methods that lacked attractiveness and interactivity. Aims: This study aimed to examine the use of digital storytelling as a learning medium for children aged 5–6 years using a quantitative one-group pretest–posttest design. Results: Findings revealed a substantial rise in posttest scores compared with pretest results after the intervention. Statistical analysis showed normally distributed data (Sig. = 0.257), a significant F value (p = 0.000), and a significant t-test result (p < 0.05), indicating meaningful improvement in critical thinking, problem-solving, and understanding of causal relationships. Novelty: The study demonstrates the practical application of multimedia-based storytelling integrating visual, audio, text, and animation elements within an authentic preschool setting. Implications: Digital storytelling can serve as an innovative instructional strategy aligned with 21st-century learning demands, supporting early cognitive growth and preparing children for subsequent educational stages. Highlights: Post-intervention scores were markedly higher than baseline measurements. Children demonstrated stronger reasoning, questioning, and collaboration abilities. Statistical testing confirmed a significant difference between initial and final observations.

Abstract

General Background Early childhood education represents a critical foundation for language development, particularly in early reading skills that support later literacy acquisition. Specific Background In kindergarten settings, early reading activities are often limited to conventional board-based instruction, which may not adequately engage children aged 5–6 years in recognizing letters, syllables, and simple sentences. Knowledge Gap There is limited classroom-based evidence describing structured learning cycles that document measurable progression of early reading skills through interactive visual media in Indonesian early childhood institutions. Aims This study aimed to describe the progression of early reading skills among children aged 5–6 years through the use of illustrated word card media in Group B1 of TK Dharma Wanita Jeruk Gamping Krian. Results Using a classroom action research design with two instructional cycles, observational data showed a progressive increase in early reading mastery, from 56.67% at the pre-cycle stage to 72.22% in Cycle I and 88.89% in Cycle II, based on indicators of letter recognition, syllable and word reading, and simple sentence reading. Novelty The study presents a cyclical, activity-based application of illustrated word cards that systematically documents skill progression across learning stages within an authentic classroom context. Implications These findings indicate that structured use of illustrated word card media can support the organization of engaging early reading activities and provide practical guidance for teachers in designing literacy-oriented learning experiences in kindergarten classrooms. Highlights: Progressive Mastery of Letter, Syllable, and Simple Sentence Reading Was Recorded Across Instructional Cycles. Classroom Action Research Cycles Enabled Systematic Observation of Literacy Skill Development. Visual and Hands-on Learning Activities Supported Sustained Learner Engagement During Reading Sessions.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the meaning, values, and lived experience of teachers and parents in using Asmaul Husna songs as a mnemonic strategy for memorizing the 99 Names of Allah at TK ABA I Candi Sidoarjo. Employing Moustakas's transcendental phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis with 7 participants (3 teachers, 4 parents). Analysis through epoché, horizonalization, clustering, and composite description yielded five major themes: (1) songs as carriers of living theological meaning; (2) psycho-musical effectiveness as a mnemonic tool; (3) embedded religious, social, and pedagogical values; (4) determinants of effective song quality; and (5) the dynamics of parental reinforcement at home. The findings propose a Psycho-Musical Mnemonic Framework for Islamic Early Childhood Education (PMMF-IECE) integrating song quality, teacher competence, children's psycho-musical engagement, and parental reinforcement as dynamically interacting components. This study enriches Islamic early childhood education literature with a phenomenological perspective that has been rarely examined.

Abstract

General Background Micro, small, and medium enterprises constitute a fundamental economic pillar requiring continuous innovation to survive global market competition. Specific Background Rural commercial operators in Begaganlimo Village struggle with constrained financial capital, low commercial literacy, and an inability to build strong brand identities. Knowledge Gap Despite the acknowledged necessity of visual identity, practical implementation mechanisms for resource-limited rural enterprises utilizing university community service programs remain underexplored. Aims This qualitative case study investigates how university student interventions facilitate commercial capacity building through targeted product rebranding initiatives. Results In-depth interviews and participant observations reveal that modernizing logo designs, upgrading functional product packaging, and developing online social media narratives successfully modernized the local commercial identity. Consequently, these specific interventions directly triggered increased product sales, elevated commercial visibility, and built substantial entrepreneur confidence in competitive online environments. Novelty This research isolates the specific participatory mechanisms where academic community service transitions from theoretical advisory roles to tangible digital and physical visual identity execution. Implications Government stakeholders and educational institutions must integrate continuous digital training, stakeholder collaboration, and regular monitoring into future empowerment frameworks to ensure sustainable local economic development. Highlights: Modernized packaging designs and contemporary logos successfully trigger higher product sales. University student guidance effectively transitions traditional merchants into modern online platforms. Continuous training and collaborative monitoring guarantee long-term local economic sustainability.
