Abstract

This research explored the expectations, experiences, and challenges felt by Preschool and Primary school teachers. The expectations, experiences, and challenges teachers face can be considered for policy direction, implementation guidelines, and developing transitional preschool learning methods more contextual to real-world conditions and needs. The participants in this study include three lower primary school teachers and two Grade B kindergarten teachers. The research approach used is qualitative-descriptive. The research findings indicate that teachers have expectations that the preschool-primary school transition process is not solely the responsibility of preschool or primary school teachers. Still, there should be continuity and a shared perception between preschool and primary school teachers to ensure a seamless transition process. The experiences and challenges teachers face in teaching children during the transition period include dealing with students with different characteristics, which requires teachers to analyse each student's specific needs, especially when they encounter difficulties during this transition

Abstract

This study stems from the need for a learning model that can optimize the development of multiple intelligences in early childhood. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of a learning model that incorporates educational games in enhancing the abilities of children in Raudhatul Athfal (RA). The research method used is a quasi-experimental design, with data collection techniques including pretests, posttests, and observations, followed by data analysis using a T-test. The research subjects consisted of 40 children from one RA in Bandung Regency and another in Bandung City. This study not only measures the impact of educational games on multiple intelligences but also evaluates the development of the intelligences children already possess. The findings indicate that the learning model incorporating educational games is effective (p<0.05) in developing various aspects of children's intelligence. In addition to improvements in physical and linguistic intelligence, children also demonstrated significant progress in social skills, such as cooperation and empathy, as well as in intrapersonal abilities, including self-awareness and emotional regulation. Educational games also encourage active child engagement in the learning process, strengthening their intrinsic motivation to learn. These findings suggest that integrating educational games into the RA curriculum can serve as a holistic learning strategy, not only enhancing academic abilities but also fostering children's overall character development.

Abstract

This study aims to identify parents’ color preferences, sources of visual inspiration, and the roles of family members in decision-making when selecting products for early childhood. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through an online survey involving 185 parents. The instrument included a color preference scale, Likert-based attitude statements, and comparative visual image selections. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to interpret the data. The findings indicate that bright colors remain dominant for products such as toys and clothing, reflecting associations with playfulness and stimulation. In contrast, neutral tones, such as beige and earth colors, are more frequently preferred for educational products and room settings, as they are perceived to promote calmness and visual comfort for children. Direct visual encounters with products and exposure to social media content emerge as the primary sources of visual inspiration. At the same time, mothers are identified as the main decision-makers regarding children’s product selection within the family. These results suggest that parents’ visual choices are shaped not only by functional considerations but also by lifestyle aspirations and aesthetic values believed to support children’s development. Within this context, color functions as a symbolic representation of family identity and parental expectations for children’s everyday environments. This study recommends that designers, manufacturers, and early childhood education practitioners give greater consideration to visual aspects in product development and calls for further research on the developmental implications of visual design in early childhood settings.
