Abstract

Integrating moral values into early childhood education remains a critical issue for educators and policymakers worldwide. This study explores the implementation of moral values education in public and religion-based kindergartens in Yogyakarta. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were gathered through surveys and interviews from a sample of 20 kindergartens, ten public and ten religion-based, across five districts. The research focuses on how core moral values such as politeness, honesty, responsibility, and cooperation are taught and incorporated into daily learning activities. Results indicate that both public and religion-based kindergartens emphasize similar core values, though religion-based institutions place added importance on religious practices like daily prayers. Storytelling is more frequently employed in religion-based kindergartens to teach moral values. In contrast, public kindergartens utilize more diverse strategies, including group activities and discussions. Teachers in public kindergartens often encounter challenges with inconsistency between home and school environments regarding moral education, while those in religion-based kindergartens report difficulties managing children during religious activities. The findings underscore the need for improved home-school collaboration in public kindergartens to ensure consistency in moral education. In contrast, religion-based kindergartens could benefit from adopting more interactive and reflective teaching methods to foster critical thinking in children. Teacher training programs should focus on equipping educators with culturally sensitive strategies for moral education. Although this study offers valuable insights, its findings are geographically limited to Yogyakarta, and future research should broaden the scope to include different regions and assess long-term impacts on children’s moral development.

Abstract

This study examines the role of principal leadership in improving teacher quality and performance within the Siti Humairah Study Group in Deli Serdang Regency. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research integrates quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights gathered through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that principal leadership accounts for 44.2% of the variation in teacher quality and 60.4% of the variation in teacher performance, highlighting its significant impact. Effective leadership practices, such as strategic supervision, professional development facilitation, and participatory decision-making, were found to enhance teacher motivation and collaboration. However, challenges such as limited resources and disciplinary issues underscore the need for comprehensive interventions. The study emphasizes the importance of adaptive leadership styles tailored to contextual challenges. Successful principals created supportive environments, provided constructive feedback, and facilitated targeted training programs. Additionally, transformational and participatory leadership approaches were shown to foster teacher engagement and improve teaching quality. Nonetheless, external factors, including organizational culture and individual teacher attitudes, were found to moderate the effectiveness of leadership interventions. This research contributes valuable insights to the discourse on educational leadership and its influence on school effectiveness. It underscores the critical role of principal leadership in fostering teacher quality and performance while addressing persistent challenges. Practical implications include the need for strengthened leadership training programs and increased resource support to overcome operational and cultural barriers within schools. These recommendations aim to inform policymakers and educational leaders in driving sustainable improvements in teacher performance and student outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines parents' perceptions of the importance of sexual education in early childhood and the demographic factors influencing these views. Using multiple regression analysis, a quantitative survey was conducted with 100 Malang City parents with children aged 4-6 years. The results show that 84% of parents held positive perceptions, while 16% expressed negative views. The F-test yielded a calculated F value of 26.6 with a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating that gender, age, and parental education significantly influence perceptions of sexual education. Parents with negative views often cited traditional beliefs about child development, considering children unprepared for topics on sexuality. Cultural factors, a lack of exposure to sexual education during their childhoods, and insufficient knowledge about appropriate content for young children further contributed to this stance. The findings suggest that sexual education for early childhood must consider comprehensive education for parents, ensuring they understand appropriate boundaries and materials. Demographic factors such as age, gender, and education must also be addressed when designing educational programs. Limitations of this study include its focus on a single city and a relatively small sample size, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings. Future research should expand the geographic scope and examine other factors, such as socioeconomic status or cultural diversity. Addressing these limitations could provide deeper insights into how to design effective sexual education programs that respect cultural contexts while fostering understanding and acceptance among parents.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe parental involvement in school programs at Nurul Iman Islamic Kindergarten, Mataram City, as an effort to support the advancement of early childhood education (ECE). This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through triangulation, and data analysis was conducted inductively/qualitatively, with the researcher serving as the primary instrument. The study subjects included classroom teachers, the kindergarten principal, and parents of the children. Data analysis was conducted systematically by organizing, categorizing, synthesizing, and interpreting data from interviews, field notes, and documentation. The results indicate eight forms of parental involvement in school programs, including Committee Meetings, Inspiration Classes, Parent Classes, Parenting Classes, Sabtu Budaya, Outing Classes, Parent-Child Competitions, and the Maulid Nabi celebration. This involvement significantly benefits and supports the educational development of children. The parental involvement programs were successfully implemented and aligned with the planned objectives. Parents were not merely financial supporters but also participants, supporters, decision-makers, program implementers, and school committee members. This demonstrates strong collaboration between the school and parents in supporting early childhood education. The study, conducted in a single Islamic kindergarten, limits generalizability to broader contexts. Future research should compare diverse educational settings, incorporate parent surveys, and focus on long-term impacts. Reliance on interviews and documentation may overlook socio-economic influences. Additionally, researcher subjectivity suggests the need for more standardized methodologies.

Abstract

Batik is one of Indonesia's most renowned traditional art forms, crafted by hand and rich in cultural significance. Introducing batik to children early is essential for preserving local heritage and fostering creativity, imagination, and motor skill development. This study aims to explore the identification of batik motifs in art education at PPBI Batik Kindergarten Yogyakarta and its role in enhancing creativity and cultural awareness in early childhood. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research subjects included the principal and teachers of the kindergarten. Data analysis involved reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that several traditional batik motifs are incorporated into art learning, including kawung, parang, lereng (slope), truntum, and semen motifs, alongside modernized variations created by the children. The study demonstrated that identifying and learning batik motifs enhanced children’s artistic skills and deepened their cultural awareness. Through the use of visual and qualitative analysis methods, children were able to understand and appreciate the symbolic meanings of various motifs. Their participation in the creative process—from motif introduction, drawing, and canting to coloring—enhanced their creativity and art skills. This research concludes that art education involving batik at PPBI Batik Kindergarten Yogyakarta fosters children’s creativity, artistic abilities, and cultural awareness while contributing to the broader preservation of Indonesia's cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study, conducted at Raudlatul Athfal Al-Iman in Semarang City, explores resilience factors and levels among students, emphasizing the role of Islamic values in fostering resilience and self-regulation and using a concurrent embedded mixed-method approach, prioritizing qualitative data from interviews, observations, documentation, and questionnaires to explore cultural and religious influences on resilience, particularly in interactions with peers, educators, and the community. The qualitative approach provided insights into how Islamic values are internalized and expressed in children’s behaviors. At the same time, quantitative data, measured using the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM), categorized students’ resilience levels. This combination ensured a comprehensive understanding by integrating contextual depth with numerical validation. Findings revealed that Islamic practices, including istighosah, reading Iqra', memorizing Hadith (Mutiara habits), daily prayers, recitations of Asmaul Husna, and short Qur’anic surahs, significantly influence students' resilience. These activities, integrated into daily routines, help children adopt Islamic values in peer interactions and demonstrate resilience characteristics. Teachers reinforce resilience by promoting problem-solving that is aligned with Islamic teachings. Quantitative data from 30 students indicated resilience levels: 6 students were categorized as high, 19 as moderate, and 5 as low. This research highlights the potential of faith-based practices to enhance mental well-being and learning outcomes in Islamic early childhood education. While constrained by a small sample size and limited scope, it offers valuable insights into resilience-building strategies in similar contexts. Future studies should expand on integrating resilience theory and Islamic values in early education across broader settings.

Abstract

This study examines the use of the storybook Koleksi Dongeng PAUD: Mengenal Suara di Sekitar Kita (PAUD Storybook Collection: Recognizing Sounds Around Us) as a tool to introduce everyday sounds to young children. Using a qualitative method with a content analysis approach, the research explores the narratives and illustrations in the book, which are designed to familiarize early childhood learners with various sounds. Data analysis was conducted through three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification to understand patterns in sound recognition and their impact on children’s cognitive, emotional, and social development. The findings reveal that the book introduces two main categories of sounds, those originating from humans, such as heartbeats, humming, coughing, sneezing, growling stomachs, and chewing sounds during eating, and those from the surrounding environment, such as knocking on doors, vehicle horns, breaking objects, splashing water, ticking clocks, and bicycle bells. The book fosters children’s development by introducing sound recognition, environmental understanding, and social interaction reflection. Its stories enhance self-awareness, identity formation, and language skills. This research’s significance lies in its innovative integration of auditory learning into storytelling, promoting cognitive, emotional, and moral growth in early childhood. However, it is limited by its focus on specific sounds and the lack of empirical testing to assess long-term effectiveness. Its cultural specificity may also limit broader applicability. Future studies should explore diverse sounds, including cultural and natural environments, and examine longitudinal impacts. Cross-cultural adaptations could transform similar books into universal educational tools.

Abstract

The rapid evolution of technology continues to drive the demand for highly skilled human resources capable of competing in an increasingly dynamic global environment. Preparing superior human resources from an early age is crucial to meeting these demands. This study investigates how the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach is implemented and its impact on early childhood education at RA Fun Islamic School in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study methodology, data were gathered through observations, semi-structured interviews with educators, parents, and administrators, as well as an analysis of relevant documentation. The findings highlight STEAM's focus on nurturing creative freedom, critical thinking, and collaboration among young learners. Children participating in activities such as building structures and integrating arts with mathematics showed notable outcomes, including independent problem-solving and the development of unique solutions. The study also emphasizes the role of introducing simple engineering concepts and integrating technology to create dynamic and engaging learning environments. Despite these benefits, challenges like limited resources and the need for teacher training were identified. This research underscores the transformative potential of STEAM in promoting cognitive and social growth in early childhood education. Future studies should explore how this approach can be scaled to diverse educational settings and evaluate its long-term effects.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of an anti-bullying program at TK Sekolahku My School Sleman using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model to create a safe and inclusive learning environment for students. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis to gather in-depth data on the program's context, supporting inputs, implementation processes, and resulting outcomes. The findings indicate that the program was systematically designed and implemented by the school's environmental needs. Context evaluation reveals that the program was developed based on child protection policies adapted from international models and tailored to the school’s culture. Regarding input, educators demonstrated competence in handling bullying cases, although the term bullying was not explicitly used in classroom instruction. Process evaluation shows that the program was integrated into students' daily routines through habituation, storytelling methods, and reinforcement of rules and consequences. Product evaluation finds that the program successfully instilled values of empathy and courage in students, as evidenced by their ability to reject inappropriate behavior and heightened social awareness. However, this study is limited by its population scope and restricted access to internal documents, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Future research is recommended to expand participant coverage and develop more structured measurement instruments to quantitatively assess changes in student behavior. The study highlights the importance of strengthening anti-bullying programs by involving parents and conducting periodic evaluations based on measurable indicators to enhance program effectiveness in early childhood education.
