Abstract

Purpose –The pandemic has forced parents and children to carry out various activities only at home. Parents who are usually busy with their office work can rebuild attachment with their children with meaningful Qur’an literacy activities. Qur’an is the life guide of every Muslim, so it is the duty of parents to introduce and set the right example to their children as early as possible. Through the direct involvement of parents and children in Qur’an literacy activities, it grows and gives birth to a generation of Quranic pride for the people. The purpose of this study was to determine the activities of children's and parents' Qur’an literacy when children have to study the Qur’an at home.Design/methods/approach –The method used in this study is a survey method with a quantitative approach. The stages include situation analysis, making a google form which was submitted to approximately 246 parents in West Java who have children in early childhood period, data processing, writing reports and conclusions.Findings –The findings of the research prove that through the ability of parents to read the Qur’an properly and correctly and the ability of parents to package Qur’an literacy activities using varied and fun methods can foster children's interest in Qur’an literacy including reading Qur’an activities, i.e., reading the Qur’an and memorize short surahs. This is evidenced by the increasing number of verses and pages that children read and the number of short Surahs these children have memorized.Research implications/limitations – The study used a survey, where the literacy activity of parents and children at home during the pandemic increased compared to before the pandemic.Practical implications –Qur’an literacy activities for children while studying at home require parents' ability to read the Qur’an, knowledge of methods, media and evaluation of good and correct Qur’an teaching. Meanwhile, the limitations in this study are the instillation of Qur’an literacy in children by parents when children study the Qur’an at home.Originality/value –Qur’an literacy activities for children by parents when children have to learn the Qur’an at home.

Abstract

Purpose – The study aims to explore the differences in social skills between children who used the edutainment method with the game and a multimedia approach. Cards and treatment are the value of social skills in children’s reports.Design/methods/approach – The experimental method was designed with a treatment design one-shot case study. The pretest score was taken from the report cards that the child had previously received. Social skill score outcomes were taken after the treatment was completed.Findings – The results showed no significant differences in the social skills of children who were given the game approach edutainment method with children who were given the multimedia approach edutainment method. However, the average difference in the game approach and multimedia approach scores only has a value of 1,37500, so the difference is insignificant. These two treatments differ significantly from the child’s report card scores. The game approach has a difference of 4.27536 and sig 0.011 < 0.05; for the multimedia approach, it has a difference of 3.79167 and sig 0.028 <0.05. So it can be concluded that the edutainment method has a positive influence.Research implications/limitations – The teacher must know the child’s social skills so that he can choose the proper method of learning. The teacher must pay attention to the relationship between the characteristics possessed by each child and the learning method to be used. The teacher can use the game edutainment method in learning.Practical implications – Social skills can be built from several factors. The influencing factor is edutainment learning. This learning allows children to interact with other children and be able to re-communicate the activities they have done.Originality/value – This research is updated to explore the variables affecting children’s social skills. The independent variable used is the edutainment learning method with two approaches, namely multimedia and games. Paper type Research paper

Abstract

Purpose – Subjective well-being of a good teacher causes teachers to be more focused, productive, and confident that they can complete teaching tasks regardless of the difficulty. This study aims to determine the effect of self-efficacy and work motivation of teachers on sujective well-being.Design/methods/approach – This quantitative research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 183 uncertified teachers. Obtained a sample of 118 teachers whose data were taken with area sampling. The measuring instrument used is the work motivation scale, self-efficacy scale, and subjective well-being scale. Research data is processed by multiple regression analysis with an assumption test.Findings – The results of the analysis test obtained R 0.644, 1 = 0.383 and 2 = 0.352 and a significance value of of 0.000 (ῥ < 0.001) providing an effective contribution of 41.85%. It shows that the hypothesis is accepted that there is a significant positive effect between the motivation and self-efficacy of teachers’ work on subjective well-being. The first minor hypothesis test has a partial coefficient value r of 0556 with a significance value of providing an effective contribution of 21.87%. There is a very significant positive influence between work motivation and subjective well-being. The results of the second minor hypothesis test have a partial coefficient value (r) of 0.571 with a significance value of 0.000 <0.01, giving an effective contribution of 19.57%. Some teachers did not have good subjective Well being in Raudhatul Athfal, Bantul Regency. There is a significant positive effect between teacher self-efficacy and subjective well-being. The higher the teacher’s self-efficacy, the greater the subjective Well being. The lower the self-efficacy, the lower the subjective well-being. Self-efficacy contributes 19.57%, and teacher work motivation contributes 21.87% to subjective well-being. Other factors influence the remaining 58.55%.Research implications/limitations – This study only explores internal factors and has not examined external factors that affect subjective well-being. This study’s limitations are that the three-dimensional items’ preparation does not suggest an unfavorable scale. Categorization of intrinsic motivation should be based on the type of teacher work motivation, not categorization based on high and low work motivation. Practical implications – Teachers can do their job well if they have high subjective well-being. It can be pursued by increasing work motivation and high self-efficacy both by the school and the teacher.Originality/value – This study is essential for teachers to have good work motivation and believe they can influence student learning outcomes, improving the teacher’s subjective well-being.
