Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine and analyze Ki Hajar Dewantara's perspective on culture-based education and its relevance in the context of Indonesia's current education system. Method: Using a qualitative approach and literature review, the study explores the core concepts developed by Ki Hajar Dewantara regarding culture-based education and investigates its application in contemporary education. Results: The findings reveal that Indonesia's current education system tends to prioritize academic achievements and globalization, often sidelining local cultural values. However, the principles of culture-based education as proposed by Ki Hajar Dewantara remain highly pertinent for shaping national character. Integrating cultural values into the curriculum serves not only as a means to preserve cultural diversity and heritage but also as a strategy to nurture a generation with a strong identity capable of thriving in a globalized era. Novelty: This study underscores the enduring relevance of Ki Hajar Dewantara's culture-based education in addressing modern educational challenges. By bridging cultural values and academic achievements, it presents a balanced approach to fostering intellectual intelligence alongside noble character and cultural identity preservation.

Abstract

General Background: Cognitive development in early childhood is a critical foundation for later learning and problem-solving skills. Specific Background: Many children at the age of 4–5 years still experience difficulties in recognizing and classifying geometric shapes, which hinders their logical thinking ability. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies have explored learning media for early childhood, but limited evidence exists on the direct role of geometric shape media in stimulating cognitive growth. Aims: This study aims to examine how geometric shape media can improve the cognitive abilities of children aged 4–5 years in IT Nurul Hidayah Kindergarten. Results: Using a pre-experimental design (one-group pretest–posttest) with 36 participants, the findings show a significant increase in posttest scores compared to pretest (mean score rising from 58.05 to 86.11). Statistical analysis confirmed significance with Tcount = 38.65 > Ttable = 1.691. Novelty: This research highlights the application of simple, tangible, and context-related geometric media that directly engage children in learning through play. Implications: The results suggest that integrating geometric shape media into early childhood learning environments can effectively foster logical reasoning and classification skills crucial for cognitive development.Hightlights: Geometric media significantly improve children’s cognitive abilities. Novel use of tangible, play-based materials for early learning. Supports practical integration into PAUD learning environments.

Abstract

General background: Fine motor development is a crucial aspect of early childhood education as it supports children’s cognitive, social, and language growth. Specific background: However, many preschool learning environments still rely heavily on worksheets, providing limited stimulation for fine motor practice. Knowledge gap: Limited studies in Indonesian early childhood settings have examined the systematic use of interactive learning media such as Busy Book to optimize motor skills. Aims: This study aimed to improve the fine motor skills of 4–5-year-old children through the application of Busy Book media in classroom learning. Results: Using Classroom Action Research with the Kemmis & Taggart model involving 14 children, findings showed significant improvement across two cycles. In Cycle I, imitating achieved 64.29%, finger movement 58.93%, and inserting fabric 64.29%. In Cycle II, these indicators increased to 82.14%, 94.64%, and 78.57% respectively, showing substantial progress. Novelty: This study highlights that Busy Book provides an engaging, hands-on, and child-friendly tool that enhances children’s interest and motivation while simultaneously strengthening fine motor skills. Implications: Teachers and parents are encouraged to integrate Busy Book into school and home learning to provide richer stimulation for children’s early development.6 Highlights: Busy Book significantly increased fine motor skills within two learning cycles. The media stimulated children’s motivation and engagement in learning. Practical implications for teachers and parents in early education settings.9 Keywords: Fine Motor Skills; Early Childhood; Busy Book; Classroom Action Research; Learning Media

Abstract

This study addresses the challenge of vowel recognition among 3-4-year-old children, focusing on vowels like “e,” “u,” and “o.” Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, twelve children at KB Aisyiyah 17 Jasem participated in pre-cycle, cycle I, and cycle II interventions. The results showed a significant improvement from a 33.3% recognition rate in the pre-cycle to 95.3% in cycle II, indicating the effectiveness of using ball letter media. This research highlights the importance of tailored teaching methods in enhancing early childhood learning outcomes, particularly in improving vowel recognition skills. Highlight: Tailored CAR approach boosts vowel recognition in early education. Effective ball letter media enhances learning outcomes in young children. Notable 62% increase shows success in improving vowel recognition skills. Keyword: Vowel recognition, Early childhood education, Classroom Action Research, Ball letter media, Learning outcomes
