Abstract

This study aims to enhance teachers' understanding of developing language literacy skills in young children. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a literature review technique, examining scientific papers, books, and other written materials on the role of teachers in stimulating language literacy in early childhood. Based on the findings, it is clear that every teacher must have a correct understanding of literacy competence in order to effectively teach literacy to their students, specifically young children. The study concludes that there are 10 components that teachers need to understand regarding their role in developing early childhood language literacy with loose parts. These components include: teacher knowledge and experience; a basic understanding of literacy; engaging in lively discussions; using books; using the alphabet; training phonological awareness; building a language-rich environment; using loose part media; assessing children's literacy progress; and collaborating with parents. Loose parts, or materials commonly known as "loose parts," are learning tools that offer children the opportunity to explore, manipulate, or critically exploit their imagination, as the characteristics of loose parts allow children to shape them according to their ideas. The subjects of this study are young children at TK ABA Kartini Binjai.

Abstract

This study explores the role of parents in providing nutritious food to prevent stunting in early childhood. Stunting, a condition caused by chronic malnutrition, affects children's growth, cognitive development, and overall health. Using a literature review method, this research analyzes findings from various scholarly sources to examine parental involvement in ensuring a balanced diet. The results highlight that parents, especially mothers, play a crucial role as educators, facilitators, and role models in children's nutrition. Providing a balanced diet rich in carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals, as well as promoting healthy eating habits, is essential in preventing stunting. Additionally, parents should actively monitor children's growth through posyandu (community health services) and engage in nutrition education programs. The study concludes that strong parental awareness and commitment significantly contribute to reducing stunting rates. Future research should focus on effective interventions and policies to enhance parental participation in early childhood nutrition.

Abstract

Physical activity in early childhood has a significant influence on brain growth and development. This study used a descriptive qualitative research method with a literature study to evaluate the impact of physical activity on various aspects of child development, such as motor skills, emotions, and the immune system. The results showed that regular and routine physical activity can improve motor skills, as well as strengthen children's immune system. In addition, physical activities that are tailored to the age and ability of the child and supported by a conducive environment can help maximize the potential of children's brain growth and development. Therefore, education and support from parents, educators, and communities in promoting active lifestyles for children is essential to support children's optimal health and development.

Abstract

Literacy education at an early age is crucial in laying the foundation for children's reading and writing skills. However, conventional learning methods are often less attractive and do not align with the characteristics of early childhood development. Loose parts, which are open-ended materials that can be manipulated freely, offer an innovative approach that allows children to explore literacy in a creative way. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of using loose media parts in improving early childhood literacy skills, as well as identify challenges in their implementation. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing a case study method, which was conducted in three Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) that have implemented loose parts-based learning. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with five early childhood education teachers, and analysis of children's artefacts. Thematic analysis techniques are employed to identify the primary patterns in the utilization of loose parts in literacy learning. This study concludes that loose parts effectively enhance children's involvement and creativity in literacy learning during early childhood education, particularly in the stage of letter and word recognition. However, for the optimization of implementation, further support is needed in the aspects of planning, teacher training, and parent involvement. The primary recommendations of this study are the development of guidelines for implementing loose parts in early childhood literacy, enhancing teacher training, and strengthening the role of parents in supporting the exploration of loose parts within the home environment.
