Abstract

This research aimed to develop and validate an instrument to measure language development in children aged 4 to 5 years in kindergarten. The study followed the Plomp development model, encompassing five phases: initial investigation, design, realisation, test, evaluation and revision, and implementation. The initial investigation involved analysing theories and existing early childhood language development research. The design phase produced an initial draft of the instrument, which included a language development measurement tool, a validation questionnaire, and a user response questionnaire. Expert validation was conducted using Aiken's formula to establish content validity. The instrument was then tested in three kindergartens with a sample size of 194 children. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and descriptive analysis assessed the model’s fit and instrument reliability. Results indicated that the instrument had satisfactory content validity and construct reliability (CR > 0.7), though some fit indices, such as the Comparative Fit Index (CFI), were below ideal thresholds. The validated instrument consists of two language development scales: receptive language (e.g., understanding stories, commands, rules) and expressive language (e.g., asking and answering questions, verbal communication). The study's findings imply significant applications for early childhood education, offering a standardised tool for assessing language development, guiding curriculum design, and enabling targeted interventions to improve language outcomes. Despite its strengths, the study acknowledges limitations, such as the need for better-fit indices and further empirical testing with diverse populations. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to explore the long-term impacts of the instrument and incorporate technological advancements to enhance its accuracy and relevance. Continuous refinement and validation will ensure the instrument’s effectiveness in measuring early childhood language development.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the elements of digital citizenship, analyze Generation Z's understanding of digital ethics, and assess the contribution of digital citizenship in shaping digital ethics within Generation Z. Research methodology: This research employs a qualitative approach using literature studies to explore the understanding and application of digital citizenship and ethics among Generation Z. Results: The findings reveal that Generation Z's comprehension of digital ethics remains significantly low. Nine key elements of digital citizenship are identified as crucial in enhancing Generation Z's understanding. Additionally, the application of digital citizenship plays a pivotal role in shaping ethical behavior, particularly in the context of social media. Conclusions: Digital citizenship is vital in fostering ethical behavior in Generation Z. However, continuous evaluation, mentoring, and collaboration across various sectors are necessary to improve their ethical standards in digital spaces. Limitations: This study is limited by its reliance on literature studies, which may not fully capture the real-world complexities of digital ethics among Generation Z. Future research could incorporate empirical data for deeper insights. Contribution: The study contributes to the understanding of the importance of digital citizenship in promoting digital ethics among Generation Z, offering insights for policy makers, educators, and stakeholders on the role of digital citizenship in educational frameworks.
