This study aims to analyse teacher competence in the learning process at Sambinoe Kindergarten, Aceh Jaya District. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews with three teachers as the main informants. The results showed that teachers have four main competencies, namely pedagogical, professional, social, and personality competencies. However, the application of these competencies has not been fully optimized. Pedagogical competence can be seen from teachers' understanding of children's characteristics and fun learning designs, but the use of learning media and the preparation of lesson plans are still very minimal so that learning becomes less effective and less interesting. Teachers' professional competence is supported by participation in training and seminars, although self-development still relies heavily on individual motivation. Social competence is reflected in teachers' ability to communicate with students, parents and the community, and to introduce local cultural values. Personality competence is reflected in teachers' efforts to be role models and maintain ethics. Overall, teachers' competencies, especially in lesson planning, media innovation and self-development, are improving.

Purpose – This study explores the values of local wisdom embedded in Dodaidi lullabies as perceived by caregivers in Acehnese communities, with the aim of identifying and analyzing character values expressed through this traditional oral form. Rather than evaluating outcomes in children, the study focuses on how parents and community figures view Dodaidi as a cultural medium for transmitting values in early childhood. Dodaidi represents a unique combination of musical art, oral tradition, and cultural symbolism that reflects the moral and spiritual aspirations of Acehnese society.Design/methods/approach – A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis to investigate how Dodaidi is practiced and interpreted within informal family education settings.Findings – The study identified key values that are embedded in Dodaidi lyrics according to parental and community perspectives: (1) unity and faith; (2) worship and religious practice; (3) reverence for parents and teachers (takzim); (4) social empathy and manners; and (5) responsibility and a strong work ethic.Research implications/limitations – This study presents Dodaidi as a cultural expression perceived by caregivers to support informal character education. However, it does not assess its actual impact on children’s development. The study relies on adult perspectives and does not examine how abstract values like faith or responsibility are internalized by young children, especially those who may not yet comprehend the lyrics. Thus, conclusions are limited to perceived functions rather than proven effectiveness.Practical implications – Dodaidi is typically sung by parents or grandparents during bedtime, blending affectionate interaction with the transmission of values and cultural identity. Its preservation can support cultural continuity in early childhood education.Originality/value – The research contributes to discourse on culturally rooted educational practices by documenting how traditional lullabies such as Dodaidi are understood as moral resources within family life. It encourages greater appreciation for oral traditions as part of local strategies for value-based education.Paper type Case study

Background of the study: Instilling Islamic values in early childhood lays a strong foundation for building moral character and spiritual awareness. Early childhood is a critical stage when children are highly responsive to the values and behaviors around them. In Islamic education, storytelling especially stories of the Prophets has long been seen as an effective way to teach values. One powerful example is the story of Prophet Yusuf, which contains many important lessons relevant to character education. Aims and scope of paper: This paper explores how Islamic values can be introduced to young children through the story of Prophet Yusuf. It focuses on key values found in the narrative, such as honesty, patience, piety, forgiveness, and gratitude. The paper also discusses how these values can be taught using methods that are suitable for the developmental stage of early learners. These methods include storytelling, discussion, roleplay, and daily routines that reinforce good behavior. Methods: The study uses a qualitative library research method. Data were collected from secondary sources, including academic books, journal articles, and interpretations of the Qur’an that examine Prophet Yusuf’s story and Islamic character education. The analysis follows a descriptive-interpretive approach to identify key themes and teaching strategies. Results: The findings show that Prophet Yusuf’s story is rich in Islamic values and can be a valuable tool for moral teaching in early childhood. The values in the story are relatable and can help children develop positive behavior when taught in a simple and engaging way. Contribution: This paper contributes to Islamic early childhood education by offering a structured approach to using religious stories for value-based learning. It also shows that Qur’anic stories are not only spiritually meaningful but also culturally relevant for building character. The study encourages educators and parents to use storytelling as a practical and meaningful method to support children’s moral and spiritual growth

Purpose – This study investigates how Female Rangers in Bener Meriah Regency operationalize the Islamic concept of khalifah fil ardh (human stewardship of the Earth) as a lived pedagogical practice within early childhood environmental education. It seeks to bridge the gap between eco-theological discourse and community-based educational praxis.Design/methods/approach – Employing a qualitative single-case study design, this research was conducted in Damaran Baru Village, Aceh. Data were generated through in-depth semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The analytical process followed an iterative model involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, complemented by inductive thematic coding to identify recurring patterns of practice and meaning.Findings – The findings reveal that Female Rangers enact dual and intersecting roles as grassroots conservation agents and informal educators. Their environmental engagement is not merely technical but deeply rooted in moral-religious consciousness, positioning ecological care as an ethical obligation. Pedagogically, their influence emerges through children’s situated participation in everyday ecological practices. Four core strategies underpin this process: (1) embodied modelling of pro-environmental behavior, (2) experiential learning through direct participation, (3) integration of spiritual reflection linking nature to divine responsibility, and (4) contextual embedding of environmental values within communal and cultural routines. These strategies collectively construct an implicit curriculum that integrates ecological awareness with moral and spiritual development in early childhood.Research implications/limitations – This study contributes to Islamic eco-theology by demonstrating how the notion of stewardship is translated into concrete pedagogical action within community contexts. It advances the conceptualization of informal environmental education as a relational and value-driven process. However, as a single-site qualitative inquiry, the findings are context-specific and not intended for statistical generalization, though they offer analytical transferability to similar socio-cultural settings.Practical implications – The study highlights the importance of synergizing formal education, community initiatives, and faith-based ecological values in designing early childhood environmental education. It suggests that integrating local actors such as Female Rangers into educational ecosystems can enrich children’s holistic development, particularly in fostering environmental ethics from an early age.Originality/value – The article offers a grounded account of how women-led conservation can operate as an informal pedagogical infrastructure through which young children encounter environmental care as part of moral, spiritual, and communal life.Paper type Research paper
