Abstract

Introducing basic astronomy concepts early can help children develop a deeper interest and understanding of science in the future, yet it remains underexplored. This study aims to examine the methods and benefits of integrating astronomy into early childhood education (ECE) curricula and its impact on child development. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research involved four (4) ECE teachers in Jakarta and Depok who teach astronomy to children. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically. Findings show that children are highly enthusiastic about learning astronomy. Teachers employed creative and interactive methods such as picture stories, educational videos, and simple experiments. Adapting the material to the child’s developmental stage—such as using simple language and easily understood analogies—was key to successful learning. Astronomy education was found to support the development of critical thinking skills, curiosity, as well as children's social and collaborative abilities. The study concludes that integrating astronomy into ECE curricula holds great potential for supporting child development. It provides empirical insights into how astronomy can be effectively adapted for early childhood learning. Additionally, the research offers recommendations for educators and policymakers in designing more meaningful curricula.

Abstract

In Indonesia, gender perception misconceptions remain prevalent. The parenting styles of children are affected by the gender perceptions of their parents. This study aims to describe the gender biases experienced by parents in childcare settings. This study uses a mixed method by distributing questionnaires and conducting structured interviews. This study involved 204 parents with kids aged 0 to 8. Quantitative data analysis uses descriptive statistics, while qualitative data analysis applies to Miles and Huberman. According to the findings of this study, 27.1% of parents had a gender-responsive parenting style. However, 72.9% of parents appear to consider themselves gender bias. This condition happened because culture and environment continue to influence parents' perceptions.

Abstract

In today’s modern era, the world of early childhood education is inseparable from both online and offline games. Games are no longer viewed merely as tools for entertainment, but also as potential learning media that can support children’s development. The rapid advancement of technology has made digital play an integral part of children’s daily lives. Although digital games present certain challenges, they also offer notable educational benefits, particularly in fostering children’s critical thinking abilities. This study aims to systematically collect, evaluate, and analyze research related to the development of critical thinking skills in early childhood through digital games. The research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach focusing on identifying pedagogical strategies, digital game designs, and aspects of critical thinking embedded within digital play. It also explores the teacher’s role and the empirical findings within early childhood education contexts. A total of 12 eligible studies were analyzed. The findings indicate that digital games contribute positively to the enhancement of children’s critical thinking skills. The most frequently stimulated components of critical thinking include problem-solving, logical reasoning, decision-making, independent evaluation of information, memory enhancement, and understanding of cause-and-effect relationships. Teachers play a crucial role as facilitators, companions, and guides in ensuring meaningful learning experiences through digital play. The reviewed digital games were generally designed to be both educational and interactive, highlighting the integration of learning and engagement. These findings underscore the significance of teachers’ involvement in achieving learning objectives through digital games and provide valuable insights for future curriculum development and digital educational innovation in early childhood settings.
