Abstract

Environmental hygiene is an important issue that impacts health and quality of life. As a consequence, several measures are required to keep the environment clean, including fostering environmental hygiene habits at an early age. This study aims to describe the habituation of environmental hygiene in children with special needs. The type of research used is qualitative, which is analyzed descriptively, using direct observation and semi-structured interviews with open questions involving participants, namely educators and students five to six years old. The results of this study indicate that the habituation of environmental hygiene in children with special needs at Talented Kindergarten Semarang City runs well through various methods such as hygiene songs, making costumes made from used goods, and applying the concept of Zero Waste Life Style. Personal cleanliness and toilet training are examples of habituation, which is the process of doing something repeatedly until it becomes second nature. The existence of adequate facilities can support children in maintaining cleanliness. The involvement of teachers, parents, and professionals in children's therapy influences their growth and development, in order for these activities to foster self-reliance, accountability, and environmental consciousness.

Abstract

Generation Alpha (Gen-A), who have grown up in the digital era, are more interested in interactive and visual learning. However, traditional methods such as worksheets are considered monotonous, reducing motivation and engagement in learning. This study aims to implement Augmented Reality (AR) based Experimental Learning as an innovative solution to overcome the boredom of Gen-A children with conventional worksheets in Early Childhood Education (ECE). The research gap lies in the lack of exploration of AR in ECE, particularly in Indonesia, as well as the limited studies on the learning needs of early childhood. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with observation, interviews, and document analysis at RA Nurul Ulum. The results show that conventional worksheets are boring and decrease children's learning motivation. These findings emphasize the importance of AR-based and experiential learning innovations that are adaptive to the characteristics of Gen-A, creating a more engaging and effective learning environment.

Abstract

Background: Children with hyperactivity or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are those who experience difficulty in maintaining attention, tend to be impulsive, and display a high level of motor activity. This condition often poses challenges in the learning process, particularly in terms of concentration and focus during classroom instruction. One approach that is currently being widely developed to help improve learning concentration in hyperactive children is brain gym activities. Aim: This study aims to explain how brain gym activities can enhance the learning concentration of hyperactive children and to provide an overview of the benefits of brain gym as a non-pharmacological intervention to support hyperactive children in the learning process at Wahyu Islamic Kindergarten. Method: This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through interviews, documentation, and observation. The research subject was one hyperactive child at Wahyu Islamic Kindergarten. The data analysis technique used was triangulation. Results: The results of the study indicate that brain gym activities serve as an effective method to increase learning concentration in hyperactive children. The child became more focused, enthusiastic, and motivated in learning. A distinguishing aspect of this study compared to previous research is that it specifically focuses on a child with hyperactivity, whereas earlier studies generally involved children without special needs. Thus, this study broadens the scope of brain gym benefits and opens up new intervention opportunities for children with special needs, a group often overlooked in prior research. Conclusion: Brain gym activities consist of simple movements performed according to the child’s abilities to stimulate brain development and enhance learning concentration in hyperactive children.

Abstract

This research is important for identifying effective learning strategies for children with down syndrome in non-inclusive early childhood education (ECE), which currently lacks a dedicated system. This study aimed to study learning strategies in kindergarten. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilising a case study method. Data collection instruments included observation, interviews, and documentation, with subjects such as teachers, principals, and children with down syndrome. The results show that an individualised approach, multisensory play-based learning, and collaboration between teachers, parents, and therapists effectively increase child engagement and development. The impact of this strategy is to support more inclusive education in non-inclusive schools, although challenges such as limited teacher training and inadequate facilities still need to be addressed
