Abstract

Background: Banten possesses diverse forms of local wisdom such as Seba Baduy, Seren Taun, and coastal traditions; however, most early childhood education (ECE) teachers have not yet internalized the deeper meanings of these cultural practices, resulting in suboptimal integration into learning activities. Objective: This study aims to explore the lived experiences of ECE teachers in interpreting Banten’s local wisdom and identify factors influencing its implementation in early childhood learning. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological design was employed involving eight nonformal ECE teachers in Serang District selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through indepth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Subsequently analysed using processes of reduction, categorization, and interpretation of meaning. Results: Findings indicate that teachers recognize various cultural elements such as the Batu Kuwung folktale, the Maulid Nabi tradition, and the Jawara Banten song. However these elements are not applied systematically due to limited learning materials, insufficient cultural based training, and the predominance of non-local cultural content. Coastal values, including fishermen’s solidarity and marine environmental awareness, also remain underutilized despite their strong educational potential. Conclusion: Teachers’ understanding of Banten’s local wisdom remains largely conceptual, requiring strengthened pedagogical capacity and policy support to ensure that ECE learning becomes more contextual, meaningful, and rooted in local culture.

Abstract

Children's dependence on digital devices has become a serious issue affecting their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. Low levels of digital parenting literacy within families further worsen the situation, necessitating interventions focused on empowering parents through systematic educational approaches. The community service activity aimed to enhance families' capacity to manage healthy device use through a Parenting School program implemented in Kampung Bojong Neros. The method employed was a participatory approach consisting of preparation, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up stages. The program involved 15 families (15 parents and 15 school-aged children) conducted over three consecutive days through educational sessions and collaborative family practices. Quantitative evaluation revealed a significant increase in parents' understanding scores from 48% to 82%, while children's scores increased from 55% to 97%. Beyond knowledge improvement, positive behavioral changes were identified, including implementation of device-use rules at home, increased digital discipline, and greater interest among children in more constructive alternative activities. The parenting school proved effective in strengthening digital parenting literacy and reducing device dependency through active family engagement. The program offers opportunities for broader development through continued mentoring and strengthened community networks to ensure impact sustainability.
