Abstract

This study examines the role of structured physical activity and constructive play in supporting young children’s self-regulation and problem-solving. A qualitative case study design was conducted with children aged 4–6 years. Data were collected through activity observations, interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation of play processes. Data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while credibility was ensured through source triangulation. The findings indicate that structured physical activity, particularly gross-motor games, helps children control impulses, sustain attention, and regulate emotions across play and learning situations. Constructive play with blocks and puzzles encourages children to plan actions, test strategies, think logically, and resolve challenges independently. These findings highlight the importance of designing early childhood learning that intentionally integrates structured physical activity and constructive play to foster self-regulation and problem-solving development.

Abstract

Children should be exposed to character education at an early age. Naturalistic intelligence and environmental consciousness should be introduced and instilled early on. The 2013 Curriculum includes this love of nature as one of the components of religious and moral growth. In spiritual and ethical development, we learn about the value and respect for God’s creations as well as appropriate behavior toward other living beings, including plants and animals. The loving-nature mindset is integrated into the learning objectives of religious values and character in the Independent Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka). This study aims to describe the forms of nature-loving education in a kindergarten in Indonesia and the types of activities that children can engage in. This research employs a qualitative methodology with a case study approach. The population of this study consists of all 18 children in Kindergarten B. Data collection was conducted using observation and checklist assessment techniques, and data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman technique. The results indicate that children are more enthusiastic about visiting animal enclosures directly and creating crafts from recycled materials as part of fostering naturalistic intelligence and a love for nature.
