Abstract

Independence is a crucial aspect in fostering self-confidence and responsibility in early childhood development. This study aims to analyze the forms of independence in daily activities of young children and examine the factors influencing their development. The research employed a Community-Based Participatory Research approach using the photovoice method, involving nine parents as participants. Data were collected through visual documentation, in-depth interviews, and focused group discussions. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of independence and the supporting or inhibiting factors. The results indicated that children’s independence develops in two main forms: (1) the ability to perform daily activities independently without assistance, and (2) the ability to demonstrate initiative in performing tasks. The development of independence is influenced by consistent practice, involvement of significant others such as parents or family members, and creative stimulation through activities like coloring, sweeping, and playing musical instruments. Conversely, dependency on gadgets, excessive curiosity, and mood fluctuations act as inhibiting factors. The study concludes that fostering independence in early childhood can be enhanced through a holistic approach involving consistent practice, significant support, and creative stimulation, enabling children to develop self-confidence, initiative, and responsibility from an early age. The study implies the importance of parenting strategies and educational interventions that facilitate sustainable development of children’s independence.

Abstract

The current development of education has advanced significantly, necessitating appropriate learning strategies that can effectively integrate technology. However, in practice, the implementation of technology-based learning strategies that stimulate creativity and critical thinking at the Early Childhood Education (ECE) level remains limited. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Creative Mine Adventure application in developing divergent thinking skills in early childhood compared to conventional learning methods. The research employed a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group design, involving 46 children who were proportionally divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests using an instrument designed to assess divergent thinking ability and were analyzed using N-Gain calculations and comparative analysis between groups. The findings revealed that the experimental group using Creative Mine Adventure showed a significant improvement, with an N-Gain score of 0.80, while the control group achieved only 0.45. Further analysis indicated that female participants demonstrated higher improvement compared to male participants. These findings suggest that interactive digital applications have strong potential as effective media for fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in early childhood. This study implies the importance of developing innovative, technology-based learning models that support the cognitive and holistic development of ECE learners.

Abstract

Problem solving skills in early childhood are essential for fostering creative thinking, yet they often remain underdeveloped due to limited stimulation. This study aims to analyze and explore the problem-solving skills of young children and the factors influencing them. The research employed a case study method, involving 84 children aged 5–6 years and six early childhood education units. Data were collected through observations of play activities, interviews with teachers, and analysis of children's development documents, allowing triangulation to strengthen the validity of the findings. Data were analyzed quantitatively and presented in graphical form to facilitate interpretation. The results indicate that the average problem-solving skills of children are at the “developing” stage, highlighting the need for stimulation that aligns with their developmental level. Educators have not fully understood effective strategies to stimulate these skills, indicating a need for professional development training. The findings suggest that integrating more exploratory, play-based learning methods that encourage children to think creatively and find solutions independently can significantly enhance their problem-solving abilities. This study contributes to the development of early childhood education practices that emphasize reasoning, creativity, and independence in play-based learning.

Abstract

The ability to manage emotions is a fundamental skill that has not yet fully developed in most early childhood students. The role of fathers and the quality of parental communication are key factors in helping children build balanced emotional regulation. This study aims to analyze the influence of father–child attachment and parental communication patterns on emotional regulation among children aged 5–6 years. The research employed a quantitative approach using an ex post facto design. The participants consisted of 217 fathers selected through a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires, then analyzed through multiple regression to examine both partial and simultaneous effects among variables. The results show that father–child attachment contributes positively to children’s ability to recognize, understand, and control their emotions. Moreover, open, warm, and responsive parental communication patterns were found to enhance children’s emotional regulation more effectively. Overall, fathers’ emotional involvement and effective family communication play crucial roles in shaping emotional balance and social development in early childhood. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening fathers’ roles and improving the quality of family interactions to support children’s holistic emotional growth.

Abstract

The rise of declining ethical values in early childhood is due to the influence of uneducational viewing media. The main problem raised is how parents' perception of instilling ethical values for children aged 4–5 years is reviewed from children's animated films. The purpose of this study is to find out parents' perception of the use of animated films in instilling ethical values and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its application. The method used is descriptive qualitative research with a field research approach. The subjects of the study involved eight parents in Sumbermulyo Village, Winong District, Pati Regency, who had children aged 4–5 years old and often watched animated films such as Upin & Ipin, Adit & Sopo Jarwo, and Doraemon. Data collection techniques are carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and verification with triangulation techniques to test the validity of the data. The results of the study show that most parents have a positive perception of animated films as a medium of moral education, because they are considered able to instill values such as honesty, empathy, and cooperation. However, inhibiting factors such as time constraints and a lack of quality films with clear moral messages are a challenge. This research emphasizes the importance of the active role of parents in choosing and accompanying children to watch animated films so that ethical values can be effectively embedded.

Abstract

Stimulation plays an important role in optimizing children's growth and development, especially in early childhood. Stimulation is needed to match the characteristics of boys' and girls' motor development, so that they can optimize their motor skills more effectively. The purpose of this study was to develop a gender-based game model that can stimulate basic motor skills in early childhood, and then evaluate the validation, practicality, and effectiveness aspects of the model. The research method used consisted of six main stages, namely: needs analysis, identification of game models, prototype development, expert testing for validation, small-scale trials, and ending with field tests. This data collection was carried out through questionnaires to teachers and parents, direct observation of children's play activities, and interviews to gain deeper insight into the responses of educators. The results of the study consistently showed that structured physical activity interventions significantly improved motor, cognitive, social, and emotional development in early childhood. Gender differences in physical activity patterns indicate the importance of designing inclusive and engaging movement-based games aimed at boys and girls.
