Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of digital collaboration through Interactive Flat Panel Displays (IFPD) in stimulating young children’s early numeracy skills at TK Aisyiyah Ngunut, as well as the factors influencing its implementation. The study employed a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with the principal, early childhood education teachers, and parents, as well as participatory classroom observations. The findings indicate that the use of IFPD increased children’s engagement, motivation, independence, and numeracy skills. Children were able to understand number concepts, grouping, simple addition, and number sequences through direct interaction with digital media. Collaborative activities also strengthened children’s social skills and teamwork. The successful implementation of IFPD was influenced by teacher competence, the quality of digital content, parental support, and device readiness. These findings suggest that IFPD is an interactive and effective learning medium for stimulating early childhood numeracy skills when supported by adequate enabling factors.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of holistic learning based on Islamic habituation and the Montessori method at TPA Az-Zahra. A holistic approach in early childhood education emphasizes the integrated development of all aspects of children’s growth, including spiritual, moral, cognitive, socio-emotional, language, and motor skills. Islamic habituation is applied through routine activities such as daily prayers, simple worship practices, daily manners, and the internalization of noble moral values. Meanwhile, the Montessori approach is implemented through a structured learning environment, the use of sensorial learning materials, freedom for children to choose activities, and child-centered learning. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and the school principal, and documentation of learning activities. The results show that the integration of Islamic habituation and the Montessori method creates a conducive learning environment that fosters independence, discipline, and religious character in children while encouraging meaningful participation in learning activities appropriate to their developmental stages.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze teacher mentoring strategies in developing the social-emotional development of active early childhood in Darma Putra Playgroup. The background of this study is based on the findings of children with high levels of activity who show difficulties in self-regulation, impulse control, and social interaction, such as snatching toys and disturbing friends. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of one child with active characteristics, the class teacher, and parents. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and triangulation of conclusions. The results of the study indicate that teacher mentoring strategies through directed play, familiarization with class rules, positive reinforcement, and individual mentoring are able to improve self-regulation skills, sharing skills, and the ability to wait for turns. The child's social-emotional development score increased from the category of "Not Developing" to "Developing According to Expectations." These findings confirm that consistent and responsive teacher mentoring strategies contribute significantly to the active social-emotional development of early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the application of a habit-based learning model to foster discipline and religious values in early childhood. The habit-based learning model is an approach that emphasizes the consistent and structured repetition of positive behaviors in daily activities within the school environment. This study employed a qualitative approach with descriptive study methods, conducted in an early childhood education institution. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis utilized data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results indicate that the routine implementation of habit-based learning, such as group prayer, greetings, queuing, maintaining cleanliness, and time discipline, is effective in fostering discipline and instilling religious values from an early age. Teachers' exemplary behavior, consistent rules, and support from the school and family environment are key contributing factors to the success of this model. Thus, the habit-based learning model has proven to be a relevant and effective strategy for building the foundation of character and spirituality in children from an early age.

Abstract

Early childhood learners tend to prefer engaging and interactive activities. However, in some kindergartens (TK), the teaching of Hijaiyah letters still relies on conventional methods that are less attractive, resulting in low learning interest among children. This study aimed to examine the effect of introducing the Tilawati moethod on increasing early childhood learners’ interest in learning Hijaiyah letters. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, with 16 children aged 5–6 years at TK Putra Bangsa as the subjects. The research procedures included planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection over two cycles. The instruments used were observation sheets for children’s learning interests and documentation. The results showed that after implementing the Tilawati method, children’s interest in learning Hijaiyah letters increased significantly. In Cycle I, 40% of the children showed high interest, which increased to 86.67% in Cycle II. The study concluded that the Tilawati method, which combines songs and games, can effectively enhance early childhood learners’ interest in learning Hijaiyah letters. It is recommended that kindergarten teachers integrate the Tilawati method into the teaching of Hijaiyah letters to make the learning process more enjoyable and effective.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of self-confidence among early childhood students during learning activities, particularly when completing assigned tasks in Class A of TK Taswaja Sudimoro. Initial observations revealed that several children were hesitant to express their opinions, afraid of making mistakes, lacked the courage to perform in front of the class, and were not yet independent in completing tasks. This condition highlighted the need for a learning approach that aligns with the characteristics of early childhood education, namely learning through play-based activities. Therefore, this study aimed to improve children's self-confidence through a play-based approach in task assignments. This research employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, which was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 13 children from Group A. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using both descriptive quantitative and qualitative techniques. The results of the study indicated a significant improvement in children's self-confidence. The level of self-confidence increased from 45% in the pre-action stage to 65% in Cycle I and reached 85% in Cycle II. The children became more confident, independent, and actively engaged in learning activities. Thus, the play-based approach proved to be effective in enhancing the self-confidence of early childhood students at TK Taswaja Sudimoro.
