Abstract

STEAM education is an innovation designed to address the challenges of the industrial revolution; as such, teachers utilize various media to support learning. This study aims to develop a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) learning model specifically designed to stimulate creative thinking skills in early childhood in Binjai City, North Sumatra. Creative thinking skills are essential 21st-century competencies that need to be stimulated from an early age; however, a significant gap between the need for creativity development and conventional learning approaches is still evident in various early childhood education institutions. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) employing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects were 60 children aged 4–6 years spread across four early childhood education institutions in Binjai City, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection instruments included observation sheets, interview guidelines, and a creative thinking assessment rubric. The results showed that the developed STEAM learning model met the criteria for validity (subject matter expert score of 87.5% and media expert score of 84.3%), practicality (teacher response score of 89.2%), and effectiveness in enhancing children’s creative thinking skills (gain score of 0.68, classified as moderate-high). There was a significant difference in children’s creative thinking abilities before and after the implementation of the model (t=8.47; p<0.001).

Abstract

Although moral degradation in early childhood has received growing concern, studies specifically examining parental guidance through democratic parenting to optimize children’s religious and moral development remain limited, despite the substantial implications of this issue for children’s moral formation. This study aims to analyze parents’ guidance strategies through a democratic parenting style in optimizing the development of religious and moral values in children aged 5–6 years. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design involving samples drawn from three family types. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings indicate that a democratic guidance strategy characterized by two-way communication, the application of logical sanctions, and spiritual role modeling is able to support children in achieving a very good level of development. The study concludes that the synergy between democratic parenting at home and the use of audio-visual media in schools constitutes the most effective means of fostering children’s religious character intrinsically in the digital era. These findings contribute theoretically to the literature on the importance of parental guidance within democratic parenting for early childhood and provide practical implications for schools and parents in implementing effective mentoring strategies to cultivate a moral generation. In addition, the study opens opportunities for further research on the forms of guidance that teachers and parents can employ in shaping early childhood character.

Abstract

Abstrak Rendahnya konsentrasi belajar siswa dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam masih menjadi persoalan penting di madrasah karena berpengaruh terhadap keterlibatan, pemahaman, dan internalisasi nilai-nilai keagamaan. Kajian yang secara khusus menelaah hubungan pendekatan pedagogis guru dengan pengembangan konsentrasi belajar siswa pada konteks madrasah masih relatif terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pendekatan pedagogis yang digunakan guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dalam mengembangkan konsentrasi belajar siswa kelas IX di MTs Amaliyah Secanggang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif. Partisipan penelitian terdiri atas 5 guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dan 40 siswa kelas IX. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, lalu dianalisis melalui reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi belajar siswa didukung oleh penerapan pembelajaran aktif, pendekatan kontekstual, variasi metode dan media pembelajaran, serta penguatan aspek spiritual-emosional dalam proses belajar. Selain itu, keteladanan guru dan pengelolaan kelas yang efektif berkontribusi pada terciptanya suasana belajar yang kondusif sehingga siswa lebih fokus selama pembelajaran berlangsung. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya strategi pedagogis yang interaktif, adaptif, dan berpusat pada siswa dalam meningkatkan konsentrasi belajar pada pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam.

Studies that specifically examine how teachers’ pedagogical approaches contribute to the development of student concentration in the madrasah context remain limited. This study aims to describe the pedagogical approaches used by Islamic Religious Education teachers to develop the concentration of ninth-grade students at MTs Amaliyah Secanggang. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The participants consisted of 5 Islamic Religious Education teachers and 40 ninth-grade students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that student concentration is supported by the implementation of active learning, contextual teaching, variation in teaching methods and media, and the reinforcement of spiritual-emotional aspects during instruction. In addition, teacher role modeling and effective classroom management contributed to a more conducive learning atmosphere, enabling students to remain more focused during lessons. These findings highlight the importance of interactive, adaptive, and student-centered pedagogical strategies in improving concentration in Islamic Religious Education classes.
