Abstract

This study examines the use of scenario-based reflection as a qualitative approach to strengthening coordination in early childhood education and achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on quality education. Through semi-structured interviews and reflective scenarios involving 48 participants (educators, caregivers, and policymakers), the research explored ethical reasoning and collaborative problem-solving within service integration. Findings reveal that participants gained deeper awareness of moral responsibility and professional accountability when confronted with realistic dilemmas, such as unequal resource allocation or family-school conflicts. One educator noted, “Reflecting on justice made me rethink fairness in daily teaching decisions.” Because reflection stimulates empathy and shared ethical understanding, scenario-based learning fosters stronger intersectoral trust and responsive decision-making. The study concludes that integrating faith-informed reflection, guided by Islamic principles of amanah (trust) and adl (justice), enhances both coordination and moral integrity in early education systems aligned with SDG 4.

This research article explores the integration of play-based learning and Islamic values in early childhood education, aiming to understand how playful experiences can enhance moral and social development in young learners. Employing a systematic literature review methodology, the study synthesises findings from various scholarly articles to identify key themes and effective teaching strategies. The significant findings reveal that play serves as a crucial medium for developing moral values, social skills, cognitive abilities, and cultural awareness among children. Specifically, play-based activities foster empathy, cooperation, and critical thinking while promoting respect for diversity. Effective strategies such as storytelling, role play, cooperative games, and creative expression are highlighted as valuable methods for teaching Islamic values. In conclusion, integrating play-based learning with Islamic values education offers a holistic approach to nurturing well-rounded individuals. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by providing a comprehensive overview of how play can instil ethical principles and foster social responsibility in early childhood settings. By emphasising the importance of play in moral development, this study encourages educators to adopt innovative practices that align with educational and cultural objectives, ultimately preparing children for compassionate and responsible participation in society.
