Abstract

This research focuses on developing and validating the Mini Box Theater as an innovative storytelling medium for children aged 5-6 years at Bali Kumara Batubulan Kindergarten. The study followed the Research and Development (R&D) methodology, utilising the ADDIE and Dick and Carey models. The objectives were to design, develop, and assess the feasibility of the Mini Box Theater for enhancing storytelling activities. Data were collected through observations, teacher interviews, and expert validation from five validators specialising in early childhood education and media development. Content validation involved evaluating storytelling components such as literacy, children's ability to express feelings, and participation in pre-reading activities. Media validation focused on technical aspects like design, material suitability, and ease of use. The results demonstrated high content validity, with a Content Validity Ratio (CVR) 1 for all items. Based on expert feedback, revisions were made to improve the media’s visual appeal and enhance character interactions. Limitations of the study included the absence of comprehensive field testing due to time constraints. Despite this, the Mini Box Theater shows promise for improving children's storytelling skills, vocabulary, and cultural awareness. Future research should focus on field testing to assess the media's effectiveness in real classroom settings and explore its potential for broader educational applications. This study contributes to early childhood education by offering a culturally relevant and engaging tool for language 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

The challenges of implementing new curricula, such as insufficient infrastructure, high parental expectations, and varying levels of teacher quality, have left many early childhood education (PAUD) teachers unprepared for curriculum changes. Teachers often face difficulties adapting to new instructional materials, revising learning plans, updating teaching processes, and aligning assessments with curriculum requirements. Curriculum transitions are a global phenomenon, posing challenges for educators in various contexts. This study explores the influence of self-regulation on PAUD teachers' readiness for curriculum change in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with simple linear regression analysis, data were collected from 113 teachers selected through quota sampling based on calculations using the G*Power software (α = 0.05, power = 0.95, effect size f = 0.15). Validated instruments assessed self-regulation and readiness for curriculum change, ensuring cultural and linguistic relevance. Results from SPSS analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship (p = 0.001, CI: 1.031–1.934) between self-regulation and readiness for curriculum change. Teachers with higher self-regulation exhibited greater adaptability and competence in meeting the demands of curriculum updates. This study highlights the pivotal role of self-regulation in enhancing teacher readiness, enabling educators to address challenges, develop new skills, and align their practices with curriculum requirements. The findings underscore the need for professional development programs to foster self-regulation and institutional support to facilitate smooth transitions during curriculum reforms. Future research should adopt longitudinal designs to explore the dynamic processes of teacher readiness over time and across diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Verbal aggression in early childhood, often characterised by behaviours such as mocking, cursing, and insulting, is a growing concern influenced by parenting stress and parenting styles. This study aims to analyse the relationship between parenting stress and parenting styles and their effects on verbal aggression in young children. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 125 parents from seven kindergartens in Pemalang Regency. Data collection utilised validated questionnaires, and the sample was determined through proportional sampling. The analysis included descriptive statistics, partial significance testing (T-test), and linear regression. The findings reveal that parenting stress has a significant effect on verbal aggression, with a significance value of 0.002 (< 0.050). Parenting style was also shown to significantly influence verbal aggression, with a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.050). Collectively, these variables were found to substantially contribute to the level of verbal aggression in early childhood. This research underscores the importance of addressing parenting stress and promoting positive parenting styles to mitigate verbal aggression in young children. Limitations include focusing solely on parenting variables and the absence of longitudinal analysis. Future research should explore additional contributing factors, such as socioeconomic status and child temperament, to develop comprehensive intervention strategies.

Abstract

This study aimed to address low technology utilization and poor student discipline in schools by developing interactive multimedia titled ABBD: Aku Bisa Belajar Disiplin. Using the ADDIE model (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), this Research and Development (RnD) study was conducted over six months (March-August 2023) at RA Mutiara Iman. Participants included ten students aged 5–6 years, selected randomly, while media and material experts and field practitioners were purposively chosen for feasibility evaluations. Data were collected through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, while quantitative data were assessed using Likert and Guttman scales. The results showed significant improvement in student discipline, with scores increasing from 66% pre-intervention to 85% post-intervention. Feasibility evaluations by media experts scored 88.9% (very good), while material experts scored 97.7% (very good). Field practitioners, including principals and teachers, rated the multimedia between 95.3%–100% (very good). Trials with students revealed high acceptance, with one-to-one trials scoring 90% and small-group trials scoring 92.5%. The multimedia incorporated audio, video, animations, and interactive buttons, ensuring user-friendly and age-appropriate content. These findings underscore the effectiveness of "ABBD" in improving discipline among early childhood students and highlight the potential for integrating technology into educational practices. The study's limitations include its focus on a small sample size and short-term evaluation, which may restrict the generalizability and understanding of long-term impacts.   Future research should explore its long-term impacts and scalability in diverse educational settings to maximize its broader application.

Abstract

Fostering patriotism in early childhood is a critical challenge in an era of globalisation, where traditional values risk being overshadowed by modern influences. This study investigates the cultivation of patriotism in early childhood through the "Angkasa Berbudaya" program at Angkasa Adisutjipto Kindergarten in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving 20 students, five educators, and the school principal. The program integrates local culture, science, and technology to foster national identity while introducing global perspectives. Arts-based approaches, including traditional dance, angklung music, and marching bands, instil cultural appreciation, self-discipline, and creativity. Additionally, patriotism is embedded through national ceremonies, storytelling, and wearing traditional attire, promoting values like love for the homeland, discipline, and cooperation. Findings indicate that the program supports cognitive, social, and emotional development, contributing to a well-rounded education that balances tradition and modernity. However, challenges include inadequate facilities, limited parental involvement, and the absence of systematic evaluations to assess the program's long-term impact. Recommendations include improving resources, enhancing parental engagement, and incorporating broader multicultural perspectives to strengthen the program's effectiveness. This study underscores the significant role of culturally integrated education in fostering patriotism and social cohesion, offering a replicable model for early childhood education. By blending local heritage with global insights, the program prepares children to value diversity while maintaining a strong sense of national identity. Future research should focus on longitudinal impacts and scalable strategies for integrating patriotism into early education curricula.

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.
