Abstract

This study investigates the integration of experiential learning within the Merdeka Curriculum for early childhood education in Indonesia through a descriptive qualitative method using a systematic literature review of 126 national and international journal articles published between 2017 and 2024. Articles were selected using keyword combinations experiential learning, Merdeka curriculum, and early childhood education from accessible databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and DOAJ, and reviewed through four stages: identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion. The study examines how experiential learning strategies can enhance holistic development in young children by fostering active engagement, critical thinking, creativity, and socio-emotional growth. Findings indicate that experiential learning supports child-centered education when teachers are adequately trained, technology is effectively used, and community involvement is encouraged. However, challenges include inconsistent teacher competencies, lack of infrastructure, and limited policy support. The review emphasizes the need for contextualized teacher training and adaptive education policies. By offering evidence-based insights, this study contributes to best practices and policy recommendations for early childhood education in Indonesia, positioning experiential learning as a transformative approach to prepare a confident, creative, and compassionate generation.

Abstract

This study uses the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model to evaluate a parenting program implemented in a kindergarten laboratory school in Indonesia. Drawing on qualitative interviews with teachers, parents, and student interns, along with document analysis, the study investigates how the program addressed contextual needs, resource allocation, delivery mechanisms, and perceived outcomes. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and supporting documents, then analyzed using thematic analysis to ensure systematic interpretation across CIPP components. The findings indiate that while the program was well-aligned with parental needs and supported by institutional resources, it faced participation rates, feedback mechanisms, and content inclusivity challenges. Parents reported improved confidence, communication skills, and understanding of child development as key benefits. However, the lack of systematic monitoring and follow-up limited the program’s sustainability. This study is essential as it provides a structured framework to assess parenting interventions’ quality and long-term viability in under-researched educational settings. It underscores the importance of participatory delivery methods, culturally sensitive materials, and integrated evaluation processes to enhance the long-term effectiveness of family engagement initiatives. Recommendations include embedding continuous feedback loops, involving diverse facilitators, and aligning program design with national goals on early childhood education and parental empowerment.
