Abstract

Purpose – This study investigates the relationship between father involvement in parenting and the prosocial behavior of preschool children in Tanah Datar District. The low prosocial behaviors, such as helping, sharing, cooperating, and providing comfort to others, prompted the exploration of fatherly involvement as a possible influencing factor. Design/methods/approach – A quantitative correlational approach was employed, with a sample of 194 children selected from a population of 1,128 using probability stratified cluster random sampling. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using the product-moment correlation method with SPSS. Findings – The results reveal a significant and strong positive correlation of 0.866 between father involvement in parenting and prosocial behavior in early childhood. This indicates that higher levels of father involvement are associated with greater prosocial behavior in children. Research implications/limitations – The study's limitations include its cross-sectional design, which restricts causal inferences, and the reliance on self-reported data, which could introduce bias. Future research could expand on these findings by using longitudinal designs to better establish causality. Originality/value – This research contributes valuable insights into the impact of father involvement on children's social development, particularly in a rural Indonesian context. The findings highlight the importance of fatherly engagement for fostering prosocial behaviors in early childhood, suggesting areas for future intervention and policy development.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to examine the effect of using a leaf diary as an educational medium on the classification abilities of children aged 5–6 years. Classification is a fundamental component in the development of early mathematical concepts and cognitive structuring in childhood.Design/methods/approach – The study employed a quantitative research approach with a pretest-posttest design. The research involved expert judgment for content validation and utilized the normalized N-Gain formula to analyze data collected from the classification activities of early learners before and after the intervention. The leaf diary, containing various types of leaves for observation and comparison, was implemented as a central medium during the learning sessions.Findings – The results demonstrated that the use of a leaf diary had a positive effect on the development of children’s classification abilities. The N-Gain analysis showed significant improvement in children's ability to categorize and group objects based on observable characteristics. This improvement is attributed to the engaging nature of the leaf diary, which provided children with tangible and relatable learning experiences through direct exploration and observation.Research implications/limitations – While the findings confirm the effectiveness of the leaf diary, the study was limited in scope to short-term outcomes and a single learning topic. Future research is recommended to assess its impact across different domains and with larger sample sizes, including longitudinal studies to measure retention and transfer of skills. Originality/value – This study highlights the pedagogical value of nature-based learning tools, such as the leaf diary, in fostering early classification skills. By connecting learning with the natural environment, the study provides educators with a practical and developmentally appropriate method to support foundational mathematical thinking in early childhood education.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of group counseling programs in improving social relationships among early childhood learners. Social interaction is a critical developmental domain in early childhood, contributing to emotional regulation, collaboration, and empathy.Design/methods/approach – The study employed a quantitative approach using a pretest-posttest design. The intervention was conducted through structured group counseling sessions tailored to the developmental stage of early childhood learners. Data collection involved observation sheets and social interaction rating scales administered before and after the program. The effectiveness of the intervention was measured using statistical analysis of the changes in children's social behavior indicators.Findings – The findings revealed a significant improvement in the social relationships of early childhood learners following their participation in the group counseling sessions. Indicators such as cooperation, communication, and empathy showed marked increases. The structured group setting facilitated peer bonding, emotional expression, and problem-solving skills among the children.Research implications/limitations – The study is limited by its sample size and duration of implementation. It focused on a specific age group in a controlled educational setting. Future research should explore diverse educational contexts, include broader participant demographics, and consider longitudinal analysis to examine the sustained impact of group counseling.Originality/value – This research emphasizes the importance of group counseling as a viable method for enhancing the social development of young children. It offers practical insights for early childhood educators and counselors seeking developmentally sensitive strategies to promote positive peer relationships and socio-emotional growth.
