Abstract

Implementing the Independent Curriculum in early childhood education presents challenges and opportunities, particularly in aligning curriculum design with local needs and ensuring stakeholder collaboration. This research examines the development and implementation of the Independent Curriculum in three "Penggerak" Kindergartens in Semarang City: TK ABA 54, TK Talenta, and TK Pertiwi 31. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method involving principals, teachers, supervisors, and parents and focuses on institutional readiness and stakeholder collaboration. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. Findings reveal that each kindergarten developed a curriculum tailored to its unique institutional characteristics and student needs, with an emphasis on integrating national standards, local values, and religious principles. TK Talenta prioritized inclusive education for special needs children, while TK Pertiwi 31 focused on contextual learning approaches. Collaborative curriculum planning involving key stakeholders was a central strategy in all three institutions. Despite the successes, challenges emerged, particularly in teachers’ comprehension of the Independent Curriculum, which necessitated additional support through professional development. The study concludes that a flexible and contextually grounded curriculum fosters inclusivity and adapts to local needs in early childhood education. However, the limited geographic focus and short observation period challenge generalizing the findings. Future research should adopt longitudinal approaches to evaluate the curriculum's long-term impacts and explore interdisciplinary strategies in curriculum design.

Abstract

One of the primary challenges in early childhood education (ECE) is ensuring that teachers possess the necessary pedagogical competence to effectively support diverse learners, particularly in inclusive education settings where students with special needs require tailored teaching strategies. This study explores the effectiveness of interactive digital modules in enhancing the pedagogical competence of early childhood education (ECE) teachers in inclusive settings. Using a quantitative pre-experimental design, 70 teachers from 12 inclusive ECE institutions participated in pre-and post-tests to assess their pedagogical skills before and after module exposure. Results show a significant increase in post-test scores, with an average improvement from 50 to 89, confirmed by a paired sample t-test (p < 0.01). The N-Gain analysis revealed a high level of effectiveness, with an average score of 0.78, indicating that the modules substantially improved teacher competencies. However, the lack of a control group limits the study’s ability to attribute improvements solely to the intervention. Other factors, such as previous teaching experience or additional resources, may have influenced the outcomes. Despite this limitation, the findings suggest that interactive digital modules are valuable for advancing pedagogical skills in inclusive education. These results have important implications for teacher professional development, supporting integrating of digital tools into ECE teachers' training programs. Future research should employ more rigorous experimental designs, including control groups, to better isolate the impact of digital modules and investigate their long-term effects on teaching competence and student outcomes in inclusive environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between parental education levels, gadget knowledge, and the gadget use behavior of children aged 5-6 years. Using a quantitative correlational research methodology, data were collected via a structured questionnaire from 168 parents across Indonesia. The questionnaire assessed parental education, knowledge of gadget use, and children's gadget use behavior. Results showed no significant correlation between parents' education levels and children's gadget use behavior. However, a low positive correlation was identified between parents' gadget knowledge and children's gadget use behavior. This suggests that parents with higher gadget knowledge can more effectively manage their children's gadget use. This finding underscores the importance of enhancing parental understanding of digital technology to foster healthier gadget use among young children. Limitations of the study include reliance on self-reported data and a predominantly maternal sample, which may only partially represent the broader population. Additionally, the cross-sectional nature of the study limits the ability to conclude long-term effects. Future research should involve more diverse samples, consider additional variables such as socio-economic status and cultural factors, and employ longitudinal designs to explore the long-term impacts of parental gadget knowledge on children's development. These steps are essential to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing children's gadget use behavior and to inform strategies aimed at promoting healthier digital habits among young children.

Abstract

Choosing the most suitable education for their children is often challenging for parents due to the many factors that must be considered. The desire to find the ideal kindergarten is complicated by the need to meet various criteria, leading to confusion and difficulty in decision-making. This study addresses this complexity by employing Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to simplify selection. Focusing on TKIT Al Farabi, the research validates a hypothesised model comprising ten critical factors: location, accreditation, facilities, fees, curriculum, religious education, teacher competence, extracurricular activities, school order and cleanliness, and alumni achievements. Data were collected from 154 parents through a structured questionnaire and analysed using SPSS software. The CFA results confirmed five dominant factors: school excellence, teacher professionalism, education costs, social development, and language development, collectively explaining 60.9% of the total variance. The study demonstrates that the CFA method effectively aids parents in making quick and accurate decisions regarding early childhood education. The findings also emphasise the significance of academic and non-academic attributes in school selection, suggesting that educational institutions should adopt more holistic curricula. These results have substantial implications for policymakers and educational administrators, underscoring the need for integrated programs that align with the diverse expectations of parents. Despite the study's valuable insights, further research in diverse settings is recommended to enhance the generalizability of the findings.

Abstract

This study explores and analyzes the perspectives of early childhood education (ECE) teachers in Yogyakarta regarding Play-Based Learning (PBL) and evaluates the alignment of their perspectives with PBL implementation in early childhood settings. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered via Google Forms to 41 randomly selected ECE teachers, representing 20% of the target population. The survey included 26 closed-ended items on a Likert scale and four semi-open questions for additional insights. Descriptive statistical analysis using SPSS version 26 revealed a mean perspective score of 39.5854 with a standard deviation of 6.70439, categorizing 56.1% of teachers as having a medium alignment with PBL, 26.8% as high, and 17.1% as low. Thematic analysis of qualitative responses highlighted the perceived benefits of PBL for both children and teachers, including enhanced creativity, easier engagement, and improved learning environments. Despite the limited sample size and potential biases, the findings underscore the importance of continuous professional development for ECE teachers. Future research should expand the sample size and explore additional variables influencing teachers' perspectives. These insights are crucial for policymakers and educational institutions aiming to enhance early childhood education quality through effective PBL implementation.

Abstract

Proper early childhood nutrition or a lack thereof is paramount in Indonesia because stunting—their most common outcome—can become both physically and mentally irreversible. Parents all too often find difficulty in the accurate and consistent monitoring of their children's nutritional status, which can prevent early identification of deficiencies. This study presents the Multisensor-Based Non-Contact Anthropometric System, a mobile application designed to monitor nutritional status of under-five children using multisensory images. The research had five phases, which are based on a modified ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). Parent questionnaires highlighted key nutritional concerns, as well barriers to growth due stunting during the Analysis phase. Design- to lay down the objectives and create educational content inside of the app. In Phase 3, Production; the app was developed and then reviewed by experts in content accuracy as well as media design and instructional strategies. During the implementation phase, in Malang City were given Pretest and Postest to 15 parents as a tester of this APP about testing practically and effectively. Results showed that there were significant improvements in parental knowledge and skills to monitor child nutrition status for stunting, with average expert validation scores of 92.6% (range:75 –100) on media design, 86.25% (67–97) on material content as well as instructional design 87.28%(70 -96). The MB-NCAS app is a valid, reliable and feasible dietary assessment instrument for nutritional monitoring among preschool children. Nonetheless, the lack of tech capabilities in some geographically and/or financially constrained regions is a barrier to wider utilisation. Future research should investigate the generalizability of this app in various settings and work toward increasing technological access to maximize migrant health.

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.
