Abstract

The implementation of the 2025 Curriculum brings significant changes to early childhood education through a deep learning approach that emphasizes critical, creative, reflective, and adaptive thinking. However, its implementation still faces challenges, particularly in teachers’ readiness to understand and apply deep learning principles. This study aims to analyze the level of ECE teachers’ readiness in implementing deep learning, identify the major challenges encountered, and examine the relationship between teacher readiness and curriculum implementation challenges. The study employed a quantitative approach using a descriptive-correlational design. The participants consisted of 100 ECE teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Pearson Product-Moment correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis. The findings revealed that teachers’ readiness was categorized as moderately ready, with major weaknesses in digital literacy and the availability of contextual teaching materials. The main challenges identified included limited curriculum training, heavy administrative workloads, and low parental involvement. The analysis demonstrated a significant negative relationship between teacher readiness and curriculum implementation challenges. These findings highlight that strengthening teacher competence through continuous professional training, mentoring, and institutional support is essential for supporting the successful implementation of Curriculum 2025 and improving the quality of ECE learning in accordance with 21st-century demands. This study highlights the need for continuous teacher professional development, particularly in digital literacy, deep learning-based instruction, and adaptive institutional support.

Abstract

Emotional awareness in early childhood has not yet developed optimally due to the limited availability of structured learning media and the lack of pedagogical support in social-emotional learning. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-based reflective animation in improving children’s ability to recognize, label, and regulate emotions. This study used a mixed methods approach with a quasi-experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 30 children aged 4–6 years who were divided into an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through structured observation using a validated emotional awareness observation sheet, teacher journals, classroom observations, and post-intervention interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using statistical tests, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The results showed that children in the experimental group experienced significant improvements in emotion recognition, the use of emotional vocabulary, and self-regulation, whereas the control group showed relatively minimal changes. This study concludes that mindfulness-based reflective animation is an effective, engaging, and developmentally appropriate medium for supporting emotional development. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating culturally responsive digital media and strengthening the role of teachers in social-emotional learning in early childhood education.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology in the Society 5.0 era has created both challenges and opportunities in early childhood education, particularly in enhancing children’s participation through the integration of digital literacy and culturally responsive pedagogy. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital device usage and institutional quality on children’s participation in early childhood learning. The research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The participants consisted of 100 early childhood education teachers selected through simple random sampling based on the Slovin formula. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had met validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 30. The findings revealed that digital device usage had a positive and significant correlation with children’s participation (r = 0.53; p < 0.01), while institutional quality also demonstrated a positive relationship with a lower correlation level (r = 0.32; p < 0.05). Regression analysis further indicated that digital device usage had a stronger predictive effect (β = 0.47; p < 0.01) than institutional quality (β = 0.21; p < 0.05). These findings confirm that the optimization of digital device usage plays an important role in improving children’s participation in early childhood learning. This study provides practical implications for strengthening teachers’ digital literacy and enhancing culturally based pedagogy in digital learning environments.

Abstract

Gross motor development is an important aspect of early childhood growth that needs to be stimulated through appropriate play activities. However, in practice, children are increasingly exposed to digital games, which reduces opportunities for physical activities that support motor development. This study aims to analyze the effect of the traditional game Ngada Wela Maka on early childhood gross motor development. This research used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The subjects consisted of 10 children selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria. Data were collected using a gross motor development assessment sheet and analyzed using descriptive statistics and a Paired Sample t-test. The results show that children’s gross motor abilities improved after participating in the traditional game, covering all observed aspects, namely balance, movement coordination, large muscle strength, agility, and rhythmic coordination. These findings indicate that the Ngada Wela Maka traditional game has a significant effect in stimulating gross motor development in early childhood. In addition, this activity also supports children’s social development through cooperation, interaction, and discipline during play.The conclusion shows that traditional games are effective in optimally improving early childhood gross motor development. The implication of this study is that traditional games can be used as an effective, contextual, and enjoyable learning medium in early childhood education.

Abstract

Kindergartens play an important role in ensuring accessibility for all children, including children with special needs (CSN). However, limited facilities and institutional readiness often hinder inclusive education implementation. This study aims to analyze how facility management supports accessibility for CSN in early childhood education institutions. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research participants consisted of six teachers and two parents who were directly involved in the educational process of children with special needs. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and observations using an interview guideline instrument covering five main themes: availability of learning facilities, utilization of educational technology, social learning activities, challenges in providing facilities, and parental expectations. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through processes of coding, theme categorization, and interpretation of findings. The results indicate that the available facilities support motor development, the use of audio-visual learning media, and social interaction through role-playing activities. However, limitations in specialized support staff and the utilization of educational technology remain significant challenges in implementing inclusive services. The study concludes that inclusive educational practices can develop adaptively within non-inclusive institutions through flexible leadership and active parental involvement. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening teacher competence, providing professional support staff, and establishing more systematic policy support to expand inclusive education in early childhood education.

Abstract

Problem-solving skills are an important foundation for early childhood cognitive development, but closed learning practices that rely on conventional media do not fully stimulate children's flexible and creative thinking. This study aims to analyze and develop an open-ended digital worksheet and test its feasibility and effectiveness in strengthening early childhood problem-solving skills. The study employed a research and development approach, involving children aged four to five years as test subjects. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, using instruments such as interview guides, problem-solving ability observation sheets, and questionnaires validated by subject matter and media experts. Data were analyzed qualitatively to explain the interview findings and descriptively quantitatively to explain the results of observations and expert validation. The results indicate that the developed product meets the criteria for content and media suitability and effectively stimulates children to develop various problem-solving strategies. The study's conclusions confirm that open-ended digital worksheets contribute to creating more exploratory and meaningful learning. Therefore, educators need to integrate pedagogically designed digital interactive media to support the development of higher-order thinking skills from an early age.

Abstract

Nationalism character refers to an attitude of love for the homeland reflected through appreciation of national values, patriotism, and cultural diversity. However, early childhood understanding of these values remains relatively low amid the rapid development of technology and the increasing flow of globalization. This condition highlights the need for innovative learning approaches that can instill nationalism values in an engaging manner and in accordance with children's developmental characteristics. This study aims to analyze and examine the effectiveness of NUPO media in improving the nationalism character of children aged 5–6 years. The study employed a quantitative approach with a pretest–posttest experimental design. The research subjects consisted of 30 children selected using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation using a nationalism character observation sheet as the instrument, supported by documentation. The collected data were analyzed using a t-test to identify differences in nationalism character before and after the treatment. The results show that the use of NUPO media in the learning process significantly improves children’s nationalism character. This improvement is indicated by changes in observational results between the initial condition and after the implementation of the learning media. These findings suggest that NUPO media is effective as a learning tool for instilling nationalism values in early childhood. The implications of this study indicate that the use of innovative and interactive learning media can serve as a relevant strategy to support the strengthening of character education from an early age.

Abstract

Instilling the character of religious tolerance is a strategy in forming children's attitudes that respect diversity and differences. In kindergartens, the character of religious tolerance is very important to instill, but the lack of educators, lack of parental awareness, and students who do not yet have a character of tolerance are problems that often arise in the school environment. School culture can include traditions, habits, and interactions that occur in the school environment. This study aims to analyze the instillation of the character of religious tolerance through school culture in kindergartens. The subjects needed in this study were the principal, four educators, and kindergarten students. This study uses a qualitative ethnographic research method. In this study, data were collected through observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis used data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. Then to validate the truth of the data using source triangulation techniques. The results of the study showed that the instillation of the character of religious tolerance through school culture was carried out by habituation such as reading Iqro every morning, praying before and after learning, and extracurricular activities such as BTA and reading the Bible. In conclusion, the instillation of the character of religious tolerance through school culture is very important with habituation and evaluating supporting and inhibiting factors.
