Abstract

This study was motivated by the still low levels of literacy and numeracy achievement in Indonesia in the digital era, highlighting the need for teachers to implement innovative learning approaches that are appropriate for the characteristics of early childhood. One approach that can be applied is the digital media-based scaffolding method, which provides gradual assistance to help children learn and complete tasks independently. This study aims to analyze the teacher's role in implementing digital media-based scaffolding for early childhood education in kindergarten. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The participants consisted of one teacher and Group A children aged 4–5 years. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that teachers perform essential roles as educators, facilitators, guides, and motivators in digital media-based learning activities.The most dominant role is that of a guide, as teachers provide gradual assistance through instructions, demonstrations, guiding questions, and direct support until children are able to complete tasks independently. The study concludes that the implementation of digital media-based scaffolding can support early childhood learning when accompanied by optimal teacher involvement. It is expected that the findings of this study will contribute to the development of more effective teaching practices that are aligned with the developmental needs of young children.

Abstract

This article aims to explore the resilience and strategies employed by male early childhood education (PAUD) teachers in addressing the challenges of gender stereotypes within a female-dominated profession. This study employed a case study method using in-depth interview techniques. The data were analyzed through thematic analysis involving three male PAUD teachers. The interview results revealed that the resilience of male PAUD teachers is shaped by two main categories: internal and external factors. Internal factors include an interest in teaching, affection for children, confidence in one’s career choice, a sense of happiness, a desire to be a role model, and a personal meaning in being a PAUD teacher. External factors include support from colleagues and school administrators. In response to gender stereotypes, male teachers have developed several strategies, including fostering open communication with parents to reduce prejudice, emotionally and methodologically adapting to students, and utilizing social media to enhance their visibility and strengthen the positive image of male PAUD teachers. This study recommends the importance of more gender-inclusive institutional policies, such as anti-stereotyping training in educational institutions and the creation of fair representation in decision-making processes within PAUD settings.

Abstract

This study aims to explain the role of teachers in fostering the independence of children aged 5-6 years. The purpose of this study is to examine teachers' roles in fostering independence among children aged 5-6 years. Children's independence is an important aspect of development closely related to problem-solving skills and the formation of a responsible, confident character. This study uses a qualitative case study approach. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model. The findings of this study show that teachers serve as facilitators, role models, encouragers, and consistent rule-makers to instill independent habits in children. The steps taken include providing real examples, providing verbal encouragement, positive appreciation, and providing opportunities for children to complete tasks independently. Simple activities such as eating, putting on shoes, buttoning clothes, and tidying up toys are practical for developing a sense of responsibility and problem-solving skills. This study emphasizes the importance of consistency in habituation, a supportive environment, and cooperation between teachers and parents to increase children's independence from an early age
