Abstract

Early Childhood Education represents a critical period that significantly influences children's future development, particularly social-emotional development, which is essential for learning success and social interaction. This study aimed to measure the level of social-emotional development among children aged 4–6 years and to analyze the influence of the center-based learning model on their social-emotional development at PAUD Efrata Karisin, Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. The study employed a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. The population and sample consisted of 20 children selected through total sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets, teacher interviews, and learning activity documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The findings revealed that most children’s social-emotional development was in the low category (45%). Interview results further indicated that some children still experienced difficulties in taking turns, sharing, and resolving conflicts with peers. Hypothesis testing demonstrated a positive and significant effect of the center-based learning model on children’s social-emotional development, with a contribution of 6.4%. These findings suggest that the implementation of center-based learning, which aligns with the principles of meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning, contributes positively to children’s social-emotional development. However, greater consistency in implementing the learning model, along with active parental involvement, is needed to optimize developmental outcomes.

Abstract

Early childhood education plays a fundamental role in optimizing children's development during the golden age through holistic and integrated learning experiences. One of the current learning approaches that emphasizes meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning is the deep learning model. However, empirical evidence regarding its contribution to the development of responsibility character in early childhood remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of the deep learning model on the development of responsibility character among children aged 5–6 years at PAUD Diaspora Danau Ina, Kupang City. This study employed a quantitative approach with an ex-post facto design. The respondents consisted of 26 children selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring the implementation of the deep learning model and the development of responsibility character. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with SPSS version 25.0. The results revealed that the implementation of the deep learning model was predominantly in the high category (46%), followed by the moderate (35%) and low (19%) categories. Likewise, the development of responsibility character was mostly in the high category (51%), followed by the moderate (25%) and low (24%) categories. The regression analysis demonstrated that the deep learning model had a positive and significant effect on the development of responsibility character (R = 0.444; R² = 0.197; F = 5.906; p = 0.023), indicating that the model contributed 19.7% to the formation of responsibility character, while the remaining 80.3% was influenced by other factors. These findings suggest that the deep learning model can serve as an effective learning approach to strengthen responsibility character in early childhood through active, meaningful, and enjoyable learning experiences, thereby contributing to character education practices in early childhood education institutions.

Abstract

Fine motor skills are an important aspect of early childhood development through active and enjoyable learning. This study aims to analyze the effect of a circuit-based learning model on the fine motor skills of children aged 4–6 years at Efrata Preschool. The study used a quantitative approach with an ex post facto design. The sample size was 20 children aged 4–6 years, selected using a total sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire consisting of a circuit-based learning model scale and a child's fine motor skills scale that met validity and reliability tests. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 25.0. The results showed that the circuit-based learning model had a positive and significant effect on the fine motor skills of children aged 4–6 years (p = 0.003 < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.381 indicates that the circuit-based learning model contributed 38.1% to children's fine motor development, while the remaining 61.9% was influenced by factors outside the study. Thus, implementing a circuit-based game-based learning model in a structured and consistent manner can be an alternative learning method to optimize fine motor development in early childhood education (PAUD) units.

Abstract

Background: Cognitive development is an essential aspect of early childhood education as it underpins children’s abilities in thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making that support lifelong learning. The Deep Learning model, which integrates mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning principles, is an innovative approach designed to enhance children’s engagement and learning experiences. However, empirical evidence on its effectiveness in relation to cognitive development in real kindergarten settings remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the implementation of the Deep Learning model and the cognitive development of children aged 4–6 years at Cemara Liliba Kindergarten, Kupang City. Method: This quantitative study used an ex post facto design involving 20 children selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and cognitive development assessments, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression with SPSS. Results: The findings indicated that the Deep Learning model encouraged active participation, curiosity, and enjoyable learning experiences among children through mindful, meaningful, and joyful activities. However, the regression analysis showed that the relationship between the Deep Learning model and cognitive development was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.088) revealed that only 8.8% of cognitive development variance was explained by the model, while 91.2% was influenced by other factors. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence of Deep Learning implementation in early childhood classrooms using an ex post facto design. Conclusion: The Deep Learning model created positive learning experiences but did not significantly affect children’s cognitive development.
