Abstract

This study aims to examine the application of traditional Orang Asli songs in teaching and learning in preschool education. Traditional songs of the Orang Asli community have significant educational potential in fostering language development, cultural appreciation, and socio-emotional growth among preschool children. Using a qualitative approach, this research uses semi-structured interviews with preschool teachers. This study also uses document analysis of selected traditional songs to support the interview findings. Findings obtained from interviews with preschool teachers show that the application of traditional Orang Asli songs in the classroom has the potential to improve phonological awareness, vocabulary acquisition, and motor skills through group singing and movement activities. Document analysis of the repetitive lyrics and simple melodies of these traditional songs, themed around nature, community, and moral values, contributes to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Orang Asli community. The implications of this study show that the application of traditional songs in teaching can strengthen children's language, as well as ensure the sustainability of indigenous culture in early education. This study highlights the use and application of traditional Orang Asli songs in enhancing language development, cultural appreciation, and socio-emotional growth of preschool children, which can then contribute to the preservation of the cultural heritage of the Orang Asli community.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the impact of time and space constraints in kindergarten settings on children’s autonomy, emotional well-being, and social development. Method: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining classroom observations (N = 60), teacher interviews (N = 20), and structured surveys (N = 50). Quantitative analyses, including ANOVA, correlation analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), were conducted to examine the relationships between environmental constraints and developmental outcomes. Results: Findings revealed that 72% of children exhibited signs of frustration due to rigid scheduling, while 74% of teachers identified limited social interaction opportunities as a major concern. Regression analysis indicated that time rigidity significantly predicted increased stress levels in children (β = 0.42, p < 0.05), whereas spatial flexibility was positively associated with peer collaboration (β = 0.52, p < 0.01). Qualitative data supported these results, highlighting teacher concerns about inflexible routines and limited classroom adaptability. Furthermore, children in open-space classrooms engaged in 30% more peer interactions compared to those in traditionally arranged settings. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence supporting the benefits of flexible time and spatial arrangements in early childhood education. The findings emphasize the importance of child-centered scheduling and dynamic classroom environments in promoting holistic development. Policy recommendations include reducing time rigidity, integrating more child-led activities, and adopting adaptive classroom designs to enhance learning outcomes in early childhood settings.

Abstract

This study investigates how Islamic education policies at Darush Sholihin 2 Islamic Boarding School are shaped by political, social, and cultural forces in a local context. While national regulations set standardized curricular and accreditation requirements, pesantren traditions and community expectations drive contextual adaptation. A qualitative case-study approach was used. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with the kyai, bu nyai, teachers, and local education officials; non-participant observations of classes and dormitory life; and analysis of policy documents. Thematic coding and triangulation enhanced validity. Darush Sholihin 2 formally implements Ministry of Religious Affairs standards yet embeds regional wisdom—local language, artisanal crafts, and indigenous moral frameworks—into its pedagogy. Three key factors influence this implementation: (1) the kyai and bu nyai’s leadership in negotiating curriculum adaptations; (2) supportive yet flexible local government oversight; and (3) pressures to modernize through e-learning and standardized assessments, which prompt hybrid educational strategies. Findings reveal that policy enactment at Darush Sholihin 2 emerges from continuous negotiation among state authorities, religious leaders, and globalization pressures, rather than top-down imposition. This negotiated model strengthens cultural relevance, stakeholder engagement, and institutional resilience. For policymakers and pesantren administrators, granting structured flexibility enables innovation without compromising tradition.
