Abstract

Background: Father involvement in early childhood care remains low because fathers' roles are generally limited to financial aspects, resulting in suboptimal emotional, social, and cognitive stimulation for children. Objective: This study aims to identify forms of father involvement, factors that influence it, and its impact on child development through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method. Methods: Articles were collected from the Google Scholar database using Publish or Perish for the period 2020–2025, resulting in 52 initial articles, which were then selected based on inclusion criteria (factors and impacts of father involvement in early childhood care) and exclusion criteria (not discussing early childhood education or not involving fathers), leaving 10 relevant articles for analysis.  Result: The most dominant positive impacts of father involvement were on cognitive development (41.7%), social-emotional development (33.3%), and moral and self-identity formation (25%). The uniqueness of this study lies in its comprehensive mapping of father involvement in a multidimensional manner (physical-emotional-cognitive) and its quantitative relationship with the holistic development of children in the Indonesian cultural context. Conclusion: Overall, the SLR results emphasize the need to strengthen policies and programs for collaborative father-mother parenting to improve the quality of early childhood care and development.

Abstract

This research addresses the challenges in enhancing early childhood education (ECE) quality standards through the application of School-Based Management (SBM). Despite widespread recognition of the importance of SBM in educational settings, many schools, especially in early childhood education, struggle to meet established quality standards due to limited decision-making autonomy, inadequate leadership, and insufficient community involvement. The research problem revolves around the gap in understanding how SBM can be effectively applied to improve ECE standards, particularly in decentralized school systems. The study aims to investigate the key factors influencing the successful implementation of SBM in early childhood education, focusing on leadership engagement, teacher involvement, community participation, and alignment with quality standards. Using a qualitative literature review approach, the analysis synthesizes data from academic articles, reports, and case studies published in the past decade. Key factors identified through thematic content analysis highlight the importance of decentralized decision-making in improving educational outcomes. The findings suggest that SBM can lead to measurable improvements in educational practices, resource allocation, and community engagement when implemented effectively. Specifically, leadership autonomy, teacher involvement in decision-making, and active community participation are critical drivers for enhancing ECE quality. These results provide actionable insights for policymakers and school administrators to tailor SBM implementation strategies, ensuring that they align with both local needs and established national and international quality standards. This study contributes to the academic understanding of SBM’s role in early childhood education, offering practical recommendations for policy reforms and school management practices aimed at improving ECE quality through decentralization.

Abstract

Global changes in education demand learning strategies that can develop 21st-century skills, making the deep learning approach increasingly relevant in fostering conceptual understanding and meaningful learning experiences. This study compares the implementation of deep learning in early childhood education at PG-TK Semesta International School, Indonesia, and Satit Phatna Witya School, Southern Thailand, to identify similarities, differences, and factors influencing their success. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a comparative study design, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation, which was then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results show that both schools apply deep learning principles with different approaches: PG-TK Semesta emphasizes learning by doing through projects and environmental exploration, while Satit Phatna Witya integrates cultural values ​​and utilizes technology in its learning process. Supporting factors include the role of teachers as facilitators, a conducive learning environment, technological support, and a positive school culture. Meanwhile, the barriers include variations in children's abilities, limited teacher understanding, language differences, and unequal learning resources. This research demonstrates that the success of deep learning is determined by teacher readiness, environmental support, and contextual learning strategies. This research also helps advance the use of adaptable deep learning methods in early childhood education.

Abstract

Gender equality is more than just an issue in Indonesia and globally. In Indonesia, the government launched Asta Cita 4, while at the global level, the UN launched SDG 5. This study aims to describe principals' strategies in creating school cultures that promote gender equality, to achieve SDG 5 and Asta Cita 4 (gender equality). This study used a quantitative survey method. Data were collected via Google Forms using closed-ended questionnaires. The respondents were 177 principals, selected purposively. Data analysis was done with SPSS. The results reveal that there are four strategies of principals in creating school cultures that promote gender equality in realizing SDG 5 and Asta Cita 4: the role of principals in improving gender equality in education; school policies that support gender equality in education; teacher training on gender equality; and the implementation of gender equality in learning. This research concludes that the strategies can promote gender equality. This research’s contribution is to raise awareness of the significance of school cultures that promote gender equality, thus achieving Asta Cita 4 and SDG 5. Moreover, this study's results can serve as a guide for creating a school culture that supports gender equality in educational environments.
