Abstract

The rapid growth of digital media, particularly short-video platforms such as TikTok, has significantly influenced early childhood music consumption patterns and has the potential to shape children’s musical interests and preferences. This study aims to examine the effect of exposure to digital short songs on TikTok on early childhood interest in traditional children’s songs. A quantitative approach with an explanatory research design was employed. The study involved 25 children aged 4-6 years who were enrolled in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions and selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires completed by parents and teachers, measuring the level of exposure to digital short songs and children’s interest in traditional children’s songs. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that exposure to digital short songs via TikTok has a statistically significant effect on early childhood interest in traditional children’s songs, as indicated by a significance value of 0.046 (p < 0.05). These results suggest that digital media functions as an informal learning environment that can influence children’s musical preferences. However, the impact of digital media exposure largely depends on the quality of content and the presence of appropriate guidance from adults. Therefore, the purposeful and educational use of TikTok may serve as an adaptive strategy to revitalize traditional children’s songs, ensuring their relevance for young learners in the digital era while preserving local cultural values.

Abstract

Language development is an important aspect of early childhood growth because it is closely related to children's communication skills, thinking abilities, and social interactions. The family environment, as a form of nonformal education, plays a crucial role in providing language stimulatio1n for children, one of which is through storytelling activities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the storytelling method by parents in developing early childhood language skills within the family environment. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The research subjects consisted of two parents who have children aged 4-6 years and actively conduct storytelling activities at home. The study was conducted on Tuasan Street, Sidorejo Hilir, Medan Tembung District, Medan City. Data collection techniques included observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that regularly conducted storytelling activities can increase children's involvement in communication processes, enrich vocabulary, and build children's confidence in expressing their opinions. The use of media such as illustrated storybooks and storytelling delivered with expressive gestures and engaging intonation also enhances children's attention during the activity. Although there are challenges such as limited time and limited variations of storytelling media, storytelling remains a simple and effective method to support early childhood language development within the family environment.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of functional literacy within the community of Tanjung Rejo Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra. Considering the importance of literacy as a foundation for human resource development and community empowerment, this research employs a qualitative descriptive approach to explore experiences and literacy practices in everyday life. The study involved 22 participants selected through purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGD), participatory observation using various learning media (shopping lists, play money, financial records), and village documentation study. The results indicate that the Tanjung Rejo Village community possesses good literacy levels across three tiers: (1) Basic Literacy - 15 out of 22 people can read, write, and match item names with pictures; (2) Advanced Literacy - 18 out of 22 people can record financial transactions and calculate change; and (3) Functional Literacy - all 22 participants can analyze weekly income-expenditure comparisons and create financial plans. Documentation study confirms that there are no recorded illiterate individuals in this village, with all participants having senior high school educational backgrounds. These findings indicate that the Tanjung Rejo Village community has adequate functional literacy to manage daily life, particularly in household financial management aspects. This study recommends literacy improvement programs that focus more on digital literacy and entrepreneurship to optimize the potential of the already literate community.

Abstract

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a participatory, TBM-based approach in strengthening disaster literacy and psychosocial well-being in post-disaster communities. The findings show a significant improvement in disaster literacy, with most participants progressing from low baseline understanding to moderate and high levels, and around 75% able to identify risks, explain evacuation procedures, and demonstrate basic preparedness. Community participation also increased substantially, particularly among children and youth, indicating that interactive and contextual learning approaches enhance engagement and learning outcomes. Beyond cognitive gains, the study reveals important psychosocial improvements, including reduced anxiety, increased emotional stability, and stronger social interaction. The integration of trauma healing and community-based counseling within learning activities proved effective in supporting emotional recovery and rebuilding social cohesion. These findings confirm that combining disaster literacy and psychosocial support within a participatory framework produces more comprehensive outcomes than fragmented interventions. The study contributes by offering a contextual, integrative, and sustainable model that strengthens both cognitive and socio-emotional capacities. It also highlights the evolving role of TBM as a community resilience hub, demonstrating its strategic potential in supporting post-disaster recovery and long-term community empowerment.
