Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period for shaping character through appropriate educational media. This study aims to develop and determine the feasibility of an illustrated storybook based on Balantak local wisdom to enhance the character of children aged 5ÔÇô6 years. The research was conducted at TK Sejahtera Bonebak, involving all Group B children as participants. The method used was Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The study specifically aimed to produce a culturally relevant storybook and assess its suitability in supporting children's character development. Feasibility was assessed by a language expert and a media expert, resulting in scores of 95.4% and 94.4%, both classified as highly valid. The storybook was tested on children focusing on four character traits: courage, discipline, tolerance, and social care. The results showed that the media was highly feasible and effectively supported the development of these character traits. In conclusion, illustrated storybooks incorporating local wisdom can serve as effective tools for character education in early childhood settings.┬á┬á

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of balanced nutrition education on stunting prevention efforts among early childhood learners in a Kindergarten setting. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating both qualitative and quantitative data to obtain comprehensive and reliable findings. The research subjects consisted of 15 children, including 5 boys and 10 girls. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using complementary qualitative and quantitative techniques. The results show that the overall achievement of balanced nutritional eating patterns reached 100%. Furthermore, the average score of children’s balanced nutrition eating behavior was 41.5%, categorized as “developing as expected” (BSH). These findings indicate that balanced nutrition education has a significant positive effect on stunting prevention efforts among early childhood learners aged 4–6 years in the Kindergarten context. The study suggests that early and consistent nutrition education should be integrated into school programs as well as family involvement activities to strengthen stunting prevention initiatives. Future research is recommended to include larger participant groups and utilize longitudinal approaches to examine long-term changes in children’s nutritional behaviors.

Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the research involved 15 children and employed observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate a clear improvement in children’s creativity after participating in finger painting activities. Initially, many children demonstrated limited creative expression; however, after the intervention, a significant shift occurred, with more children showing higher levels of creative ability, including greater originality, imagination, and confidence in using colors and shapes. These results show that finger painting serves as an effective learning activity for fostering creativity in early childhood.

Abstract

Meningkatnya kebutuhan transformasi digital dalam pendidikan anak usia dini menuntut guru memiliki literasi teknologi yang memadai. Namun, kondisi di TK Putra Kaili Permata Bangsa menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar guru masih mengandalkan media pembelajaran konvensional dan belum memiliki pengetahuan serta keterampilan dalam memanfaatkan teknologi inovatif seperti Augmented Reality (AR). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru dalam memahami, merancang, dan mengimplementasikan media pembelajaran berbasis AR yang terintegrasi dengan budaya lokal. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif melalui empat tahapan, yaitu identifikasi kebutuhan, pelatihan dasar, diseminasi produk riset, serta evaluasi dan perencanaan keberlanjutan. Kegiatan ini melibatkan 12 guru PAUD di TK Putra Kaili Permata Bangsa Kota Palu. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor pemahaman dan keterampilan guru meningkat dari 48,34% menjadi 78%, yang mencerminkan peningkatan signifikan pada kemampuan guru dalam mengenal konsep AR, mengoperasikan media AR, serta merancang pembelajaran berbasis AR. Selain itu, guru mampu mengimplementasikan media AR dalam kegiatan pembelajaran dan menunjukkan peningkatan kepercayaan diri dalam menggunakan teknologi digital. Dampak lanjutan dari peningkatan kompetensi guru terlihat pada meningkatnya keterlibatan dan antusiasme anak selama proses pembelajaran. Kegiatan ini menegaskan bahwa pelatihan AR berbasis konteks budaya lokal efektif dalam meningkatkan kompetensi guru PAUD dan mendukung strategi transformasi digital di PAUD.Kata kunci: Augmented Reality, Diseminasi Produk Penelitian, Media Pembelajaran Inovatif, Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between toxic parenting and the emotional behavior of early childhood in Group B of TK Alkhairaat 1 Kaleke, Dolo Barat District, Sigi Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research subjects consisted of 15 children and their parents, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and observations of children's emotional behavior, which included aspects of independence, self-confidence, and helping behavior toward peers. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results showed that the correlation coefficient was 0.552 with a significance value of 0.033 (< 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between toxic parenting and children's emotional behavior. The level of correlation was categorized as moderate. In addition, observational results indicated an improvement in children's emotional behavior from the first week to the second week, influenced by adaptation processes and stimulation from the school environment. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that toxic parenting is significantly related to the emotional behavior of early childhood. Therefore, parents are encouraged to apply positive parenting styles to support optimal emotional development in children.
