Abstract

Parental engagement is a key determinant of early childhood development, yet many families face practical and psychological barriers to meaningful involvement in their children’s education. This study addresses this gap by rigorously exploring the impact of a video-based finger puppet-making training initiative on parental engagement within early childhood education (ECE) contexts. The study involved five parents from a semi-urban ECE center in Indonesia, each with varying levels of education and digital literacy, providing insight into the program’s accessibility and relevance across diverse backgrounds. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, the research drew on semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and analysis of participant-produced artifacts. Thematic analysis revealed four principal outcomes: First, participants reported heightened self-efficacy in crafting practices, with video-based scaffolding enabling skill development at an individualized pace. Second, the finger puppet activity fostered emotionally resonant storytelling and strengthened literacy practices at home. Third, the training led to increased and more substantive engagement with educators, suggesting an emergent co-educator role among caregivers. Lastly, the asynchronous video format was effective in accommodating diverse schedules and technological capacities, although minor digital access limitations were noted. This study’s findings corroborate and extend scholarship on adult learning theory, symbolic interactionism, and digital pedagogy. Practically, the low-cost, flexible nature of the intervention demonstrates significant potential for broader adoption in diverse ECE contexts, supporting inclusive parent engagement policies. The results offer actionable insights for educators and policymakers seeking to implement scalable, culturally responsive strategies to bridge home–school learning.

Abstract

Despite increasing recognition of Indigenous knowledge systems, the role of informal adult learning within customary communities remains under-theorized in mainstream adult education discourse. There is limited understanding of how traditional practices, beliefs, and community structures shape learning processes outside formal institutions. This study investigates the role of informal adult learning in Kampung Adat Banceuy, a Sundanese customary village in West Java, Indonesia. The research focuses on how learning is embedded in four interconnected domains: customary leadership, ritual practice, selective acculturation, and community-based tourism. These domains form a cohesive learning ecology through which cultural knowledge, social roles, and ethical values are transmitted and adapted across generations. Using an ethnographic methodology, the study involved participant observation, semi-structured interviews with 36 informants, and analysis of cultural documents. Data were examined through thematic coding and interpretive analysis to capture the nuanced, situated processes of learning as enacted in everyday life. Findings show that informal adult learning in Banceuy is relational, embodied, and performative. Tourism, in particular, functions as a reflexive learning environment where adults develop narrative, logistical, and intercultural competencies while negotiating cultural meaning and ethical boundaries. Rather than being a site of commodification, tourism becomes a space of identity work and adaptive pedagogy. These insights challenge conventional hierarchies of formal education and affirm the centrality of Indigenous learning systems in sustaining cultural resilience. The study offers implications for policy and theory, emphasizing the need to support culturally embedded, community-driven models of adult education.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between educators’ communication skills, emotional maturity, and non-discrimination attitudes and their influence on learner motivation in equivalency education programs at SPNF SKB Takalar, Indonesia. Equivalency education, designed to provide alternative pathways for individuals who did not complete formal schooling, requires sustained learner motivation to achieve its social and educational goals. The study aimed to identify the extent to which these three educator attributes contribute to learner engagement and persistence. A quantitative descriptive-correlational design was employed. The population included 115 learners enrolled in equivalency programs, with a random sample of 40 participants. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing communication skills, emotional maturity, non-discrimination attitudes, and learner motivation. Statistical analysis involved descriptive measures and Pearson product-moment correlations to examine associations among the variables. Findings revealed that all three attributes were rated as “fairly good” by learners and significantly correlated with learner motivation. Communication skills emerged as the strongest predictor, highlighting the importance of clarity, immediacy, and relational engagement. Emotional maturity demonstrated a strong link with motivation, emphasizing empathy, resilience, and regulation in shaping supportive classroom climates. Non-discrimination attitudes were also significant, underscoring the role of fairness and inclusivity in fostering learners’ confidence and persistence.
