Abstract

One important aspect of learning English in kindergarten is vocabulary mastery, which plays a crucial role in children’s ability to communicate effectively and understand language. However, many children at Aisyiyah Kindergarten in Surakarta, which were observed through purposive sampling, still struggle with vocabulary acquisition. It was found that the learning media, primarily textbooks, focused mostly on activities such as coloring, thickening, and writing letters, without providing sufficient repetition exercises to reinforce vocabulary. This was identified as a significant factor contributing to the challenges children face in retaining vocabulary. The recent research objective was to explore the themes and vocabulary in the textbooks in Surakarta kindergartens. This study specifically sought to examine how well textbooks support the development of vocabulary mastery and whether the content is culturally appropriate and engaging for young learners. The research was conducted using an exploratory qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through document analysis of English textbooks used in Surakarta kindergartens, applying first-order and second-order understanding techniques to identify and categorize themes and vocabulary. The results revealed that the textbooks used in these kindergartens were thematic, with some themes aligning with the Ministry of National Education's guidelines. However, the vocabulary introduced was sometimes disconnected from the children’s everyday experiences and was occasionally culturally inappropriate. While some textbooks included a significant amount of vocabulary, the frequency of repetition exercises was insufficient, with some books lacking repetition altogether.

Abstract

This study aims to explore teachers' strategies in using block play as a means to address young children who experience difficulty separating from their parents at TK Aisyiyah 39 Kratonan, Surakarta. The phenomenon of separation anxiety often becomes an obstacle in the learning process, independence, and socialization of early childhood. To gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon, the study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The study involved 7 children, aged 5-6 years who showed moderate to high separation anxiety, selected through purposive sampling, ensuring that the research subjects matched the focus of the intervention. The findings reveal that the implementation of block play effectively diverts children's attention from emotional dependence on their parents toward enjoyable and meaningful learning activities. Through block play activities, children began to show improvements in independence, courage to be left by their parents, adaptability in the school environment, and social interaction with peers. Supporting factors for the success of this strategy include the availability of adequate block play materials, the warm and communicative role of teachers, and active parental involvement in the child's adaptation process. However, several challenges were identified, such as limited play equipment, short learning time, and uneven teacher skills in managing play-based activities. The implications of this study emphasize that block play functions not only as a play medium but also as an effective psychological, social, and pedagogical intervention tool to support early childhood development.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengembangan dan implementasi buku ajar tematik bahasa Inggris yang diperkaya dengan kode QR untuk mendukung keterampilan pelafalan guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) di Surakarta, Indonesia. Banyak guru PAUD menghadapi kesulitan dalam mengucapkan kosakata bahasa Inggris dengan tepat. Hal ini dapat berdampak pada penyampaian model bahasa yang benar kepada anak didik. Buku ajar konvensional umumnya tidak menyediakan dukungan pelafalan yang terintegrasi, sehingga membatasi peluang guru untuk melakukan perbaikan pelafalannya secara mandiri. Untuk menjembatani kesenjangan tersebut, dikembangkanlah buku ajar berbasis digital yang menyematkan tautan audio pelafalan melalui kode QR. Tujuan utama dari inovasi ini adalah untuk mengetahui sejauh mana dampaknya terhadap kemampuan pelafalan dan kepercayaan diri guru dalam mengajar bahasa Inggris. Dengan menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dan pendekatan studi kasus, penelitian ini melibatkan 26 guru TK dari sekolah-sekolah yang berafiliasi dengan Aisyiyah. Evaluasi efektivitas intervensi dilakukan melalui kombinasi pre-test, post-test, observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Sesi pelatihan tematik memperkenalkan fitur digital dalam buku ajar serta membimbing guru dalam latihan pelafalan dan penerapan di kelas. Data kuantitatif menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada skor post-test di seluruh kelompok guru, sementara data kualitatif mengungkap peningkatan kepercayaan diri, keterlibatan yang lebih tinggi dalam pembelajaran, dan pemodelan pelafalan yang lebih baik bagi anak. Penelitian ini mendukung integrasi alat digital sederhana seperti kode QR untuk memperkaya sumber belajar tradisional. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa media hibrida yang menggabungkan komponen cetak dan audio dapat memberdayakan guru dengan keterbatasan kemampuan bahasa Inggris untuk meningkatkan kompetensi pengajarannya. Selain itu, buku ajar berbasis QR menawarkan solusi yang mudah diakses dan dapat ditingkatkan skalanya untuk memperkaya pembelajaran bahasa pada anak usia dini. Temuan ini mendorong penerapan inovasi serupa dalam program pelatihan guru serta merekomendasikan penelitian lanjutan mengenai dampak jangka panjang dari pembelajaran bahasa berbasis perangkat mobile dalam konteks PAUD.

Abstract

This study aims to describe in depth the efforts to increase children's creativity through the use of natural materials as learning media at BA Aisyiyah Jekani. The background of this research is based on the importance of developing creativity in early childhood as one of the aspects of development that must be stimulated from an early age. Children's creativity is often underdeveloped because learning activities are still dominated by factory-made or printed media, which provide limited opportunities for children to explore freely. Therefore, teachers need to design learning activities that are concrete, engaging, and contextual by utilizing materials that are easily found in the child's surrounding environment.This research used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of class A teachers and students at BA Aisyiyah Jekani. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The results show that the use of natural materials such as leaves, twigs, stones, seeds, and sand has a positive impact on increasing children's creativity. Children became more active, enthusiastic, and able to produce various creative works using natural materials from their surroundings. In addition, natural materials were effective in fostering children's learning interest, developing fine motor skills, and instilling a sense of responsibility in maintaining the environment. This study concludes that natural materials are effective learning media in improving learning outcomes and student participation at BA Aisyiyah Jekani.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the factors that cause young children to be difficult to control and prone to tantrums, as well as to identify effective strategies for teachers and parents in dealing with such behavior. In addition, this study also seeks to assess the benefits of implementing these strategies on children's emotional and behavioral development in school and home environments.Methodology: The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through direct observation, interviews with classroom teachers and parents, and documentation. The research subject was one child in group A at BA Aisyiyah Nurul Huda Bercak, Wonosamodro, who exhibited unruly behavior and frequent tantrums. The subject was selected using purposive sampling based on observations of the child's social and emotional behavior at school and at home.Results: The results of the study show that children with difficult behavior tend to withdraw from group activities, have difficulty concentrating, and often exhibit tantrum-like behavior such as crying, screaming, or throwing objects. The contributing factors include the child's inability to control their emotions, inconsistent parenting, and unmet psychological needs. After a collaborative approach was taken between teachers, parents, and therapists, positive changes were seen in the children's behavior, namely the ability to control emotions, focus on activities, and interact better with peers.Application/Originality/Value: This study provides practical contributions for teachers and parents in dealing with unruly children and tantrums through positive strategies, consistent communication, and cross-role collaboration. The originality of this study lies in the direct application of behavior management strategies in rural early childhood education settings, which shows that simple interventions such as behavioral therapy and empathetic approaches can improve children's emotional control and social interaction.

Abstract

Learning for children with Down syndrome in non-inclusive early childhood education (PAUD) institutions still faces challenges, primarily due to teachers' limited ability to provide adaptive learning media tailored to their characteristics. Although theory suggests that visual media is effective in supporting information processing for children with intellectual disabilities, its implementation in the field is less than optimal. This situation indicates a research gap, namely the lack of in-depth studies on strategies for using visual media in non-inclusive early childhood education contexts that lack specialized facilities or teacher training. This study aims to analyze strategies for using visual media in learning for children with Down syndrome and identify obstacles that arise in daily learning practices. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a purposive sampling technique involving classroom teachers, principals, and parents. Data were collected through lesson observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation of the RPPM (Learning Plan), RPPH (Learning Plan), and the visual media used. Data analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was strengthened through triangulation of sources and methods to enhance the credibility of the findings. The results showed that the use of visual media such as picture cards, posters, and concrete props improved attention, instruction comprehension, and communication skills in children with Down syndrome. Children responded better when information was presented visually than verbally. However, learning was still limited by minimal teacher training, limited resources, and the lack of systematic developmental evaluation instruments. This study contributes to the development of adaptive learning strategies in non-inclusive early childhood education (ECE) by confirming that the effectiveness of visual media is largely determined by teacher competence and institutional support.
