Abstract

This study explores the development of expressive language disorder in a five-year-old child from the perspective of a parent in Bandung Regency, Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative case study approach, the research follows the child’s developmental history from the prenatal period through the age of five. Data were collected through in-depth interviews conducted between January and April 2024, using version D of the Speech Participation and Activity Assessment of Children (SPAA-C) instrument. The analysis employed a descriptive analytical method, including data reduction, data presentation, triangulation, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that the child’s expressive language delay is influenced by a combination of prenatal, perinatal, and environmental factors. The child was born prematurely and spent the first 43 days in an incubator, resulting in limited sensory stimulation during a critical developmental window. Prenatal risk factors such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), fetal distress, and severe preeclampsia (PEB) were also identified. Perinatal complications, including intestinal infection, further disrupted early feeding and sensory experiences. Environmental factors such as limited interaction during the COVID-19 pandemic, extended family misconceptions about developmental red flags, inconsistent nutritional intake, and maternal psychological stress contributed to delays in expressive language development. Despite these challenges, the child demonstrated strong receptive language skills, age-appropriate cognitive development, and positive social functioning. This research provides context-specific insights into how expressive language disorders manifest and are managed in a non-clinical, culturally embedded setting in Indonesia. The findings have practical implications for early childhood education (ECU), particularly in informing inclusive teaching strategies for children with expressive language delays. Future research is recommended to explore classroom-based intervention strategies and to extend analysis across broader populations, including variables such as genetics, gender, cognitive profiles, birth order, and socioeconomic status.

Abstract

Teachers are a key factor in realizing educational quality, particularly in early childhood education (ECE), where professional commitment, innovation, and resilience are crucial. High turnover intention among ECE teachers threatens the continuity and quality of learning. This study aims to develop a model for implementing the basic values of commitment—comprising dedication to goals, efficiency, innovation, and teaching quality—moderated by compensation satisfaction, to reduce turnover intention. The research focuses on understanding how internal and external motivational factors contribute to teacher retention in ECE institutions. A quantitative approach was employed involving 119 ECE teachers in Jember Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3.0). Variables measured include core values of organizational commitment, compensation satisfaction, and turnover intention control. Validity and reliability tests confirmed the robustness of the measurement model. The results show that all four dimensions of teacher commitment have a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Teachers who demonstrate strong alignment with institutional goals, efficiently use resources, engage in innovation, and uphold high teaching standards are significantly less likely to express an intention to leave. Compensation satisfaction was found to be a significant moderating variable that strengthened the relationship between commitment and reduced turnover. Furthermore, a supportive work environment—characterized by physical and emotional well-being, positive peer relationships, and opportunities for professional development—was identified as a contextual enhancer of retention. Theoretically, this study contributes to the refinement of organizational commitment theory in the context of early childhood education in developing countries. Practically, the findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and school administrators to implement targeted retention strategies that address both intrinsic motivations and extrinsic conditions. Future studies are encouraged to include broader variables such as leadership, career advancement, and psychological well-being, as well as test the model across different educational settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Kamishibai storytelling method in improving early childhood literacy skills among children aged 5–6 years. A classroom action research design was employed, consisting of two cycles conducted at TK Aisyiyah 16 Surabaya. Cycle I was implemented from February 12–13, 2024, and Cycle II from February 19–20, 2024. Each cycle followed the four core stages of action research: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research involved 15 children from Group B1 and utilized participatory observation as the primary data collection technique. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods based on literacy performance indicators, including the ability to appreciate reading, respond to story content, recognize narrative elements, and retell stories. The results demonstrated a substantial improvement in children's literacy development following the application of the Kamishibai method. In Cycle I, 13% of participants were categorized as Beginning, 47% as Achieving, and 20% as Exceeding. By Cycle II, no children remained in the Beginning category, while 66.67% were categorized as Achieving and 33.33% as Exceeding. These outcomes indicate that the Kamishibai method—when applied with appropriate storytelling techniques such as expressive voice, visual cues, and interactive engagement—can significantly enhance children's reading interest, comprehension, and narrative skills. The study contributes to the field of early childhood education by emphasizing the role of expressive, visual-based storytelling in fostering foundational literacy. However, limitations include the small sample size and single-site design, which restrict generalizability. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of Kamishibai through longitudinal and mixed-method studies in diverse educational settings. The findings support the potential of Kamishibai as an engaging and inclusive literacy strategy that integrates narrative structure with multimodal learning to support early language development.

Abstract

In an era marked by moral uncertainty and the erosion of traditional value systems, early childhood education faces increasing pressure to cultivate ethical and religious foundations from a young age. This study systematically reviews the role of instructional media in instilling religious and moral values among children aged 4–6. Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach guided by the PRISMA 2020 protocol and structured using the PICO framework, this review synthesizes findings from 20 empirical studies published between 2016 and 2024. The analysis identifies two dominant categories of media—traditional (e.g., puzzles, board games, local games) and audiovisual (e.g., animations, digital storybooks)—which are most effective when integrated with pedagogical strategies such as storytelling, ritual routines, and play-based learning. Instructional tools grounded in local culture and values not only enhance comprehension but also support identity formation and contextual moral internalization. The review further finds that many media interventions leverage constructivist and experiential learning models, promoting internalization through relatable and immersive experiences. However, gaps remain, particularly regarding longitudinal impact assessments and cross-contextual evaluations. The studies underscore the need for teacher professional development in media-based moral instruction, culturally responsive curriculum planning, and collaborative engagement among educators, curriculum developers, and community stakeholders. Limitations include the narrow temporal scope and inconsistencies in methodological rigor across studies. Future research is encouraged to adopt more robust, long-term, and culturally comparative designs to determine optimal combinations of media types and pedagogical techniques for sustained moral development in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

There is a notable gap in the literature regarding the implementation of Holistic-Integrative Early Childhood Development (PAUD HI) in Indonesia, particularly within PAUD institutions under the PESAT Foundation, which operates across multiple regions. Few studies have specifically examined the impact of PAUD HI on core dimensions of early childhood development—social-emotional, physical-motor, and cognitive—which are foundational pillars in early childhood education. This study investigates the influence of PAUD HI implementation on children's social-emotional, physical-motor, and cognitive development in PESAT Foundation-affiliated institutions. A total of 122 early childhood education teachers were selected as respondents through an online survey using Google Forms. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 24, employing descriptive statistics, normality tests, significance tests, regression analysis, and hypothesis testing to examine the relationships between PAUD HI practices and child development outcomes. Findings demonstrate a significant positive impact of PAUD HI on social-emotional and physical-motor development, with contributions exceeding 80%. The presence of a supportive, interactive, and cross-sectorally collaborative learning environment enriches children’s learning experiences. While the influence on cognitive development is also positive, it is relatively lower, highlighting the need for more targeted and contextualized instructional strategies. This study underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in PAUD HI to support children’s comprehensive development. However, the quantitative design limits in-depth exploration of the contextual dynamics of PAUD HI implementation. The absence of qualitative data restricts understanding of social interactions, local challenges, and emerging best practices. Future research is recommended to adopt qualitative or mixed-methods approaches to generate more comprehensive insights into the effectiveness and challenges of PAUD HI across diverse regional contexts.
