Abstract

Background: Religious behavior in early childhood is frequently observed within structured educational settings. However, children who appear religious at school do not always demonstrate the same level of awareness and practice outside the school environment. This phenomenon raises questions about whether such behaviors reflect genuine value internalization or are primarily the result of habituation. Objective: This study aims to examine whether early childhood religious behaviors represent the internalization of Islamic values or are predominantly shaped by repeated habituation practices in the school environment. Methods: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed involving five children aged 5–6 years and five parents at PAUD Pijar Beriman, Dasan Agung Baru. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model developed by Matthew B. Miles and A. Michael Huberman. Result: The findings indicate that children are able to perform various religious practices, including prayer, ablution, Qur’an recitation, and daily supplications within the school setting. Nevertheless, these behaviors are not consistently initiated independently at home and continue to depend on parental encouragement. Based on Muhaimin’s framework of value internalization, the children have reached the stages of value recognition and practice but have not yet attained the stage where religious values become an integral part of their inner awareness. Conclusion: The study concludes that religious behavior among the participating children is more strongly influenced by habituation than by deep value internalization. Although religious practices have become part of their daily routines at school, the process of transforming these practices into intrinsic personal values remains incomplete.

Abstract

Background: Children’s independence is an important aspect of early childhood development that is generally fostered through intensive parental involvement. However, children in farming families often experience limited interaction with their parents due to agricultural work activities. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the parenting strategies employed by farmer parents in fostering the independence of children aged 5–6 years in Pendem Village. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study involved four farmer parents and four children. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Result: The findings showed that children demonstrated physical independence through their ability to eat, bathe, dress, and manage personal needs independently, while emotional independence was reflected in their ability to regulate emotions and adapt to social environments when their parents were working. Independence was fostered through habituation, simple responsibilities, direct experiences, and support from the village community. The novelty of this study lies in the finding that limited parent–child interaction does not hinder children’s independence but instead fosters a contextual parenting pattern based on direct experience and community support. Conclusion: Limited parent–child interaction in farming families does not necessarily impede the development of children's independence. Instead, farmer parents foster independence through contextual parenting practices that emphasize habituation, responsibility, direct experiences, and community support, enabling children to develop both physical and emotional independence from an early age.

Abstract

Background: Deep learning in early childhood education aims to create meaningful, contextual, and child-centered learning experiences. However, studies synthesizing the impact of deep learning implementation on early childhood development remain limited. Objective: This study aims to analyze the implementation of deep learning in optimizing early childhood development. Method: This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA approach. Results: The findings indicate that deep learning enhances children's critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, discipline, independence, and creativity. The most effective strategies are play-based learning and project-based learning that are connected to children's real-life experiences. These findings suggest that early childhood educators should implement active, contextual, and child-centered learning approaches to optimize children's holistic development across multiple developmental domains. Conclusion: Therefore, future research is recommended to employ empirical approaches, such as experimental or case study designs, to directly examine the effectiveness of deep learning implementation in early childhood education settings.

Abstract

Background: Advances in digital technology have changed the way millennial parents instill religious education in their children. YouTube is the main platform for transmitting religious values. However, the existence of extremist and non-moderate content raises concerns about children's exposure to misunderstood, intolerant, and age-inappropriate religious beliefs. Objective: This study analyzes the role of YouTube as a medium of moderate religious education in the digital parenting practices of millennial couples in Landungsari, Pekalongan City, Indonesia. Methods: The research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participant observations, and content documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman models. Results: Millennial parents actively use YouTube for moderate religious education, prioritizing content such as Nussa & Rara animations and the KABI channel, accompanied by live mentoring and limiting watch time to 30-45 minutes per session. However, YouTube's unpredictable algorithm is a major obstacle in maintaining the consistency of moderate content. Conclusion: YouTube has the potential to become a moderate religious education medium if supported by planned digital parenting. The study provides an empirical foundation for strengthening Muslim families' digital media literacy and fostering a moderate and child-friendly religious content ecosystem.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood language development is closely linked to the maturation and plasticity of the brain’s language system. Despite this, early childhood education programs often overlook neurolinguistic evidence that underlies language acquisition. Objective: This study aims to systematically review neurolinguistic research on early childhood brain language development and explore its implications for language learning practices. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Articles were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. Inclusion criteria comprised peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2026 that focused on neurolinguistics, early childhood language development, or language learning. A total of 15 eligible articles were selected and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The review revealed that interactive language stimulation, multimodal learning approaches, and emotionally supportive environments strengthen neural connectivity between language-related brain regions, particularly those associated with language comprehension and production. Neuroimaging studies further indicated that rich linguistic input contributes to more efficient activation of neural networks involved in early language acquisition. Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of aligning early childhood language learning with brain developmental mechanisms. Integrating evidence-based neurolinguistic principles into educational practice may enhance language acquisition and support optimal language development in young children.

Abstract

Background: While critical thinking skills are paramount in early childhood, conventional teacher-centered instructions often fail to provide optimal cognitive stimulation. Objective: This study to evaluate the effectiveness of structured block-play activities combined with strategic open-ended questioning in enhancing critical thinking skills among children aged 4–5. Method: Utilizing the Kemmis and McTaggart Classroom Action Research (CAR) model, this two-cycle study involved 10 participants (n=10) from Group A at PAUD Melati, Central Jakarta, with data collected via structured observations, semi-structured interviews, and artifact documentation over January–February 2026. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of structured block construction with systematic reflective prompts within an action research framework to transform passive play into active analytical reasoning. Result: Quantitative analysis revealed that the children's average classical critical thinking proficiency significantly increased from a baseline of 27.5% to 50.0% in Cycle I, and reached an optimal 81.25% in Cycle II, with independent problem-solving demonstrating the highest gain of 65%. Conclusion: In conclusion, structured block play serves as a highly effective pedagogical catalyst for fostering foundational higher-order thinking skills in early childhood education.

Abstract

Background: Coloring activities in early childhood education often considered to be simple art activities but could instead represent powerful markers of child development. Nevertheless, most of these studies focused on coloring activity through piecemeal perspective on development and little attention has been given to their role as a continuum of integrated indicators of children's development. Coloring displays physical coordination, symbolism and values being formed as aspects connected with more real learning contexts. Objective: This study seeks to investigate the function of children's coloring activities as visual manifestations of developmental processes in early childhood education. Methods: This qualitative exploratory study employed a fixed comparative characterisation methodology to analyse authentic preschool children artworks in their classroom environment. The analysis of visual data obtained from the children's drawings being used these drawings to delineate reliable characteristics of physical and mental development in the computed visual representations of construction activities. Result: The qualitative analysis indicates there are three major developing areas, each interrelated. Firstly, fine motor development demonstrated as stroke control, pressure adjustment, and spatial coordination. Secondly, Visual-Symbolic representation: Visual choice of colours, rigid shapes remaining the same appendage, symbolic semantic colouring. Third, moral-cognitive meaning-creation is indicated by deliberate color choices that are based on perceived guidelines, context, or values. Conclusion: Findings from drawing activities help to reveal more about integrated developmental domains of children rather than talents alone. It highlights the importance of reflective observation, dialogic engagement, and accounting for the importance of children's visual narratives in art-based learning settings, and positions coloring as an important marker of early-childhood development as well as an important tool for child-centred speech.

Abstract

Background: Cognitive abilities are essential for supporting children's logical thinking, pattern recognition, symbolic thinking, and problem-solving skills. However, initial observations at Al-Ikhsan Kindergarten Bontojai indicated that children aged 5–6 years experienced difficulties in recognizing patterns, grouping objects, and solving simple problems, highlighting the need for more meaningful learning strategies. Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of mini craft activities on the cognitive abilities of children aged 5–6 years. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The novelty of this research lies in the use of mini craft activities as a structured manipulative learning strategy that simultaneously stimulates pattern recognition, logical thinking, symbolic thinking, and problem-solving skills. The participants consisted of 15 children aged 5–6 years (6 boys and 9 girls) selected through purposive sampling. The treatment was conducted in eight learning sessions over four weeks. Data were collected using a validated and reliable cognitive development observation sheet and analyzed through descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test using IBM SPSS version 25. Results: The findings revealed a significant improvement in children's cognitive abilities following the implementation of mini craft activities. The mean score increased from 8.93 in the pretest to 14.80 in the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (Z = -3.430, p = 0.001). All participants demonstrated score improvement (positive ranks = 15; negative ranks = 0). Conclusion: Mini crafty activities effectively improve the cognitive abilities of children aged 5–6 years and can serve as an innovative manipulative learning strategy to support cognitive development in early childhood education.
