Abstract

This study aims to describe parental participation in parenting activities at PAUD Al-Hikmah, Jakarta, and identify the obstacles faced in building school–family synergy. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that parental participation is still limited due to parents’ work commitments, children being cared for by other guardians, inflexible activity schedules, and uneven levels of involvement. These constraints hinder effective collaboration between school and family. The study recommends adaptive communication strategies, such as flexible scheduling, the use of online platforms, and personal approaches to parents, so that parenting activities can become sustainable collaborative spaces supporting early childhood education.

Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the Kodály Method specifically hand sign and rhythm syllable techniques in improving the musical literacy of non-music major university students. Addressing the prevalent issue of passive imitation in student choirs, this research employed a quantitative quasi-experimental post-test only control group design involving 40 participants from the Universitas Andalas Faculty of Law Student Choir. The experimental group underwent 12 sessions of intensive training utilizing Solfège hand signs and culturally adapted rhythm syllables while musical proficiency was measured using a validated sight-singing test assessing pitch and rhythm accuracy. Quantitative analysis using an independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group (t=6.513, p0.05) with data distribution confirmed as normal (Kolmogorov-Smirnov 0.05). These findings demonstrate that the intervention successfully bridged the gap between aural imitation and theoretical understanding. Consequently, the study confirms that the Kodály Method is a highly effective and time-efficient pedagogical strategy for adult beginners. By fostering musical independence and self-correction, this approach reduces reliance on rote learning. The research recommends implementing these techniques in non-formal higher education vocal training to accelerate the transition from novice singer to independent musician.
