Abstract

Background: Integrating disaster mitigation education into the Early Childhood Education (ECE) curriculum is a strategic effort to foster risk awareness from an early age, especially in disaster-prone areas. Objective: This study aims to strengthen teachers' competence in integrating disaster mitigation into the ECE curriculum through a local wisdom-based approach. Methods: Using a descriptive qualitative design with a participatory action method, the program uses a local wisdom-based approach to strengthen teachers' capacity in developing disaster responsive learning. The training includes disaster literacy workshops, curriculum integration, and play-based simulations tailored to the child's developmental stage. Data were collected through observation, focus group discussions, and teachers' reflective journals, then analyzed thematically. Results: These findings show a marked improvement in teachers' understanding of disaster risk reduction and their ability to integrate mitigation strategies into classroom activities. Conclusion: The incorporation of local cultural values has been shown to be effective in enhancing the role of teachers as facilitators of disaster-resilient and sustainable learning. This study highlights the importance of contextual and culture-based approaches in promoting disaster preparedness in early childhood education.

Abstract

Early childhood education must be designed meaningfully and child-centered to foster creative thinking as a fundamental 21st-century competency. Creative thinking in early childhood is reflected in children’s capacity to generate diverse, flexible, and original ideas, as well as to develop concepts grounded in their learning experiences. The Project Based Learning (PjBL) model is considered relevant for nurturing this competency, as it engages children actively in learning through contextual, project-based activities. When integrated with the Deep Learning approach, instruction extends beyond activity completion to encompass meaning-making, experiential reflection, and purposeful understanding of learning objectives. This study aims to analyze and synthesize findings from prior research on the implementation of the Project Based Learning model integrated with Deep Learning in developing creative thinking ability in early childhood. A qualitative approach employing a literature review method was applied, examining 20 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that Project Based Learning encourages children to develop ideational fluency, cognitive flexibility, and simple problem-solving skills through meaningful learning experiences. The Deep Learning approach strengthens children’s cognitive processes by emphasizing comprehension, reflection, and the connection between learning experiences and generated ideas. The integration of both approaches has been shown to create learning environments that are not oriented toward a single correct answer, but instead accommodate the diversity of children’s thinking.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how eco-literacy is conceptualised, institutionalised, and enacted in Early Childhood Education (ECE) in Indonesia and Malaysia, with particular attention to tensions between sustainability policy and classroom pedagogy.Design/methods/approach – A qualitative comparative design combined constructivist grounded theory with critical policy document analysis. data were generated through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and institutional document review in two purposively selected eco-oriented kindergartens: TK Agripina in Surabaya and Tadika EcoSmart in Johor Bahru. Analysis proceeded through iterative coding, constant comparison, and cross-case synthesis.Findings – Eco-literacy was enacted through three interrelated processes. First, routine environmental activities became pedagogically consequential only when teachers mediated them through dialogue, inquiry, and emotionally grounded reflection. Second, policy commitments to sustainability were only partially realised in practice because teacher capacity, pedagogical guidance, and curriculum integration remained uneven. Third, children’s ecological awareness developed through culturally mediated participation in which collective values, community engagement, and selective digital mediation shaped how environmental responsibility was understood.Research implications/limitations – This study theorises eco-literacy in ECE as a socio-reflective, culturally mediated, and policy-contingent process in Global South contexts. It proposes an interpretive Eco-Pedagogical Framework linking policy, teacher enactment, and socio-cultural mediation. However, its two-case qualitative design limits transferability; future research should adopt multi-site and longitudinal approaches.Practical implications – Effective eco-literacy implementation requires systemic alignment through strengthened teacher ecological competence, explicit pedagogical scaffolding, and institutional support for reflective practice, alongside culturally grounded and community-based learning integration.Originality/value – The study reconceptualises eco-literacy as a culturally situated process of pedagogical recontextualisation in Muslim-majority Southeast Asian ECE, offering a nuanced Global South perspective beyond technocratic models of sustainability education.Paper type Research paper

Abstract

This study aims to map global scientific developments and research trends at the intersection of game-related studies and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while identifying the position and future potential of traditional games within SDG 4. A quantitative descriptive bibliometric approach was applied using data retrieved from the Scopus database. The search was conducted using the query TITLE-ABS-KEY (("Traditional Games" OR "Game* Theory" OR "Game-Based Learning") AND ("Sustainable Development Goals" OR "SDG*")), covering publications indexed from 2016 to May 2026. Based on the inclusion criteria, a final corpus of 114 documents was retained for bibliometric analysis. Data analysis and network visualization were conducted using VOSviewer to identify keyword co-occurrence, geographical contributions, and thematic structures within the scientific landscape. The results reveal a marked increase in publication volume and accumulated citations during the study period, particularly between 2022 and 2025. China, India, and the United States emerged as the leading contributing countries. The bibliometric network further identified thematic clusters linking SDG-oriented research with low-carbon supply chain management, Stackelberg decision modeling, sustainability-related decision making, and educational approaches involving gamification and collaborative learning. These findings indicate that game-related SDG research remains predominantly oriented toward industrial sustainability and macro-environmental applications, whereas traditional games grounded in local wisdom remain weakly represented in the indexed literature. This underrepresentation highlights an important research opportunity to position traditional games as culturally grounded approaches to joyful learning, social interaction, and quality education within SDG 4.
