Kindergarten teachers experience obstacles and difficulties when developing appropriate media to stimulate the concentration of children aged 5-6 years. Children find it very difficult to concentrate and their minds are easily distracted. Therefore, activities are needed that can train children's concentration skills. The purpose of this study was to prove the effectiveness of the hit and jump circuit game for children aged 5-6 years. This type of research is development research. The research model used is the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subjects of this study were 20 kindergarten children. This study used a questionnaire collection method and used an observation questionnaire (non-test). The instruments used were observation sheets and questionnaire sheets. The data analysis technique used was quantitative descriptive analysis and inferential statistics. The results of the effectiveness test obtained a tcount of 33.65. Then ttable with db = n-1 = 20-1 = 19. The ttable value for db 19 with a significance level of 5% (α = 0.05) is 1.685. Thus, the results of the analysis can be compared that tcount is greater than ttable so that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. So it can be concluded that the hit and jump circuit game is effectively applied to stimulate the concentration of children aged 5-6 years. The implications of this study are expected to be a reference for teachers in kindergartens in choosing activities that can stimulate children's concentration.

The low level of science skills among early childhood learners is caused by the science learning strategies applied by teachers, which tend to be monotonous and rely heavily on books or magazines. Children need to be given opportunities to learn about science and explore their surroundings so they can observe and directly experience what they are learning. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the improvement of science skills in early childhood through the implementation of organic waste utilization activities. This study is a pre-experimental research using a one-group pretest and posttest design. The population in this study consists of all early childhood students in a PAUD (Early Childhood Education Institution). The selected sample included 37 children. The sample was chosen using a purposive sampling technique, where the selection was based on specific considerations. Data collection was conducted through observation using research instruments. The collected data were analyzed in two stages: normality testing and hypothesis testing. The data analysis method used to test the hypothesis was the Paired Sample T-test. The results showed that the average score of children's science skills through the application of organic waste utilization activities increased from 56.30 in the pretest to 104.92 in the posttest, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that the science skills of early childhood learners improved after the implementation of organic waste utilization activities.

In the digital era, children are increasingly familiar with technology, but there are still few technology-based media specifically designed for educational purposes, particularly those aimed at developing critical thinking skills. Most existing digital media are entertainment games without educational content. Although technological advancements have been rapid, research underpinning the development of educational digital media to foster critical thinking skills in early childhood remains limited. This creates a gap between field needs and the availability of effective solutions. The goal of this research is to develop an effective E-Way Game platform as a digital medium to stimulate critical thinking skills in early childhood. The research subjects consist of 2 material expert validators, 2 media expert validators, 3 users (teachers), and 20 children (aged 4–6 years). The research and development method employs the ADDIE model. Data collection techniques include observation sheets and questionnaires, with data analysis conducted using descriptive quantitative methods. The results of the media expert validation test scored 88% (very feasible), the material validation test scored 94% (very feasible), the user test scored 85% (very feasible), the small group test scored 86% (very feasible), and the large group test scored 94% (very feasible). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the E-Way Game platform is highly feasible for use in improving children's critical thinking skills. The implications of this media development serve as a reference for digital learning media aimed at stimulating critical thinking skills in children aged 4–6 years.

Parents of young children are in a dilemma, on the one hand encouraging their children to use digital media for educational and social purposes. On the other hand, parents try to minimize risks and control the possible negative impacts of digital media use on them. Parental mediation is a parenting strategy to reduce the negative effects of media on children. This study aims to describe the phenomenon of digital parenting in relation to the influence of parents' knowledge and attitudes on parental mediation in digital parenting. To this end, a quantitative approach utilizing a survey method was employed. The population of this study comprises parents with children aged 0–7 years residing in Bandung City. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select the sample. A total of 407 parents of children aged 0–7 years participated as respondents in this study. The respondents' characteristics varied widely in terms of age, education level, occupation, and residence. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a Likert scale, distributed via Google Forms. The results indicate that parents' tendency to mediate their children's interactions with online media falls into the moderate category. Parents' knowledge of digital parenting is not yet comprehensive and has not significantly impacted the practice of parental mediation. A significant effect of knowledge on parental mediation was found, mediated by attitudes.

The performance of kindergarten teachers is influenced by various internal school factors, including the leadership style of the principal and the prevailing school culture. Problems arise when weak leadership and an unsupportive school culture result in low teacher performance in carrying out their professional duties. This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous effects of transformational leadership and school culture on the performance of kindergarten teachers. This is a quantitative study with an ex post facto design. The research subjects consisted of 234 kindergarten teachers, while the instrument was tested on 33 teachers from a different population. Data collection used a questionnaire in the form of a closed-ended questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data analysis techniques used included t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results of the study indicate that transformational leadership has a significant effect on teacher performance, as does school culture, and that both simultaneously contribute positively to improving kindergarten teacher performance. In conclusion, transformational leadership and school culture are important factors in promoting teachers' professional performance. The implications of this study emphasize the need for school principals to develop an inspirational leadership style and build a positive school culture to create a work environment that supports the improvement of early childhood education quality.

Moral degradation of children in the era of technological revolution has a negative impact and can even affect the social life of society. Because of the importance of children's morals before introducing science, they need to be accustomed to manners in order to form good character. Early childhood is a critical period in human development including character formation. This study aims to develop an inclusive pre-learning screening instrument, focusing on religious and moral values in Early Childhood Education (PAUD). This study uses the Research and Development (RnD) method, with development carried out on an instrument that initially only functioned to assess the physical aspects of children. In order to realize a more comprehensive approach, the instrument developed includes a holistic assessment of the development of religious and moral values in early childhood. The subjects of this study involved 25 people, consisting of 10 teachers and 15 parents. Data were obtained through interviews, observations, and questionnaires used to measure the effectiveness of the instrument in identifying children's readiness in learning religious and moral values. The results of the study indicate that the instrument developed can provide a more complete picture of child development, and is able to facilitate a more inclusive learning process in the PAUD environment. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of assessment instruments in PAUD, especially in the religious and moral aspects, as well as encourage the implementation of more inclusive instruments for children with various backgrounds.

Vocabulary acquisition in early childhood is a fundamental aspect of language and communication development. However, current conditions indicate that children's vocabulary growth remains suboptimal, particularly in verb usage, adjectives, and descriptive words. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Augmented Reality (AR)-based learning media in enhancing vocabulary mastery among early childhood learners. The research employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants consisted of 15 early childhood learners selected through purposive sampling based on low vocabulary mastery criteria. Data were collected using vocabulary mastery tests, observation, and documentation. The data analysis techniques included descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon non-parametric test. The findings indicate that the use of AR-based learning media significantly improves children's vocabulary mastery. The children demonstrated higher engagement during the learning process, which positively influenced their understanding of the vocabulary presented. AR media provided an enjoyable and interactive learning experience, increasing children's motivation and interest in learning. The study concludes that AR-based learning media is effective in improving vocabulary mastery in early childhood and holds important implications for the development of innovative, technology-based instructional tools to support early language learning.
