Abstract

English Character formation in early childhood at RA Madigondo, Takeran, Magetan, is significantly supported by traditional games such as gobak sodor, congklak, and engklek. These games serve not only as entertainment but also as learning tools rich in moral and social values. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection instruments. The findings reveal that traditional games foster character values such as honesty, cooperation, responsibility, sportsmanship, and independence. The interactive learning process through games also reflects the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile, including critical thinking, collaboration, and global diversity. Moreover, traditional games embody elements of local wisdom that are relevant to building children's identity and cultural character from an early age. Thus, the integration of traditional games into early childhood education proves to be effective in character development and in preserving national culture.

Abstract

Parental involvement is a critical determinant of early childhood education (ECE) outcomes, yet it remains persistently low in underserved urban communities in Indonesia due to socioeconomic pressures, low parental self-efficacy, and fragmented school-community linkages. This study employed a qualitative community-based participatory action research (PAR) design to co-develop, implement, and evaluate a culturally grounded parental involvement program in a densely populated, low-income neighborhood in North Jakarta. Over eight months, 32 parents, 4 ECE teachers, and 2 community facilitators engaged in three iterative cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were gathered through participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and reflective journals, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The PAR process catalyzed four interconnected outcomes: heightened parental self-efficacy, richer home learning environments, improved parent-teacher communication, and the emergence of informal community support networks. A pre-post involvement checklist corroborated qualitative shifts, showing marked increases in all involvement indicators. The findings suggest that a participatory, asset-based approach can transform parental involvement from a prescriptive school demand into a shared community practice, thereby strengthening ECE outcomes in marginalized urban settings. The study offers a replicable model for fostering sustainable family-community-school partnerships in similar resource-constrained contexts.
