Abstract

Despite the increasing integration of digital technologies in early childhood education, there remains a significant gap in comprehensive, trend-based understanding of how these technologies support parental involvement. Existing studies often lack a systematic exploration of publication patterns, thematic focuses, and emerging innovations in this field. This study addresses that gap by analysing the scope and trajectory of research on technology that supports parental involvement in early childhood education using bibliometric review and data mapping techniques. This study examined relevant publications from 2014 to 2023 through computational mapping using VOSviewer software. Bibliometric data from 101 scholarly articles were retrieved via Harzing’s Publish or Perish software and analyzed to generate visualization maps that categorize research themes and trends. Findings indicate fluctuating but overall increasing trends in research output, with notable peaks after 2020, suggesting renewed interest in this domain, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. The visualization maps revealed core research themes centered around digital communication tools, parental engagement, and home-school collaboration. These findings have significant implications for future educational practices and policy development. They provide a foundation for enhancing digital strategies that foster equitable and meaningful parent-educator partnerships in early childhood education. Furthermore, they highlight the importance of addressing digital literacy gaps and promoting inclusive approaches in the design and implementation of technology-mediated parental involvement programs.

Abstract

Early mathematical skills are crucial predictors of children's future success, yet they are often insufficiently stimulated during early childhood. This study investigates the effect of the digital game ``BEKANTAN''—an acronym for Bermain Matematika di Hutan Kalimantan (Playing Math in the Kalimantan Forest)—on the early math abilities of children aged 5–6 years in early childhood education. The study focuses on number knowledge, operations, geometry, algebra, measurement, and data analysis. This quantitative study used a pre-experimental One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. A total of 17 children were purposively selected from a population of 65, based on underdeveloped mathematical skills. Data were collected using a validated observation instrument and analyzed with SPSS 22, employing t-tests after normality and homogeneity tests. The results showed a significant increase in children's early math skills after using the ``BEKANTAN'' game, with a p-value of 0.001. This indicates the effectiveness of digital games in supporting foundational mathematical development in early learners. The study highlights the potential of integrating context-based digital learning tools into early childhood education to make abstract mathematical concepts more concrete and engaging. The findings are significant for educators and curriculum developers seeking innovative approaches to early childhood instruction. However, the study's limitations include its small sample size and lack of a control group, which may affect the generalizability of results. Future research should involve larger, randomized samples and explore the game's impact on other developmental domains. Additionally, expanding the content of digital games to include environmental and cultural elements—such as Kalimantan’s biodiversity—may enrich children's learning experiences while promoting local knowledge.

Abstract

One of the receptive language abilities that must be developed in early childhood before progressing to more advanced stages is the capacity for early reading. Language development in twins tends to be slower compared to that of children in general. Difficulties commonly observed include challenges in word pronunciation and verbal reading. Cryptophasia is a unique phenomenon in the language development of twins; crypto'' means secret, and phasia'' refers to a speech disorder. The purpose of this research is to collect data from a representative sample to draw broader conclusions about early reading abilities in twins. This survey-based study employs a quantitative methodology, focusing on 66 twins in Samarinda. Data were collected using a research instrument checklist comprising nine basic items. Each item is scored on a scale from zero to five. Survey results, with a maximum score of one, reveal the following average abilities: recognizing vowel letters (3.64); recognizing consonant letters (2.71); spelling consonant-vowel patterns (1.68); spelling open syllables V-C-V (1.70); spelling identical open syllables C-V-C-V (1.68); spelling varied open syllables C-V-C-V (1.67); spelling closed syllables C-V-C-V-C (1.59); spelling syllables with diphthongs (1.59); and spelling syllables with double consonants (1.47). The overall average early reading ability score among young twins is 1.85. The findings indicate that the reading ability of twins is lower than that of children in general. Strong vowel recognition and moderate consonant recognition serve as the foundation for reading development. However, the low ability to spell syllables highlights the need for targeted intervention, particularly due to the influence of cryptophasia. Although this study was conducted in Kalimantan Timur, it offers valuable insights into early reading abilities in twins. Future research is recommended to further explore twin language development in diverse contexts.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenge faced by many parents of children aged 3–4 years who struggle to manage tantrum behaviors due to limited understanding of tantrums and appropriate handling strategies. The primary objective of this research is to develop a picture storybook that is both feasible and easy to read, aimed at supporting parents in addressing tantrum behaviors in early childhood. The study adopts a Research and Development (R&D) methodology using the ADDIE model—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—restricted to the development phase. This phase ensures the validity of the product through expert reviews and user testing. The picture storybook is designed with realistic themes that reflect tantrum-related scenarios and incorporate core values such as empathy, responsibility, and discipline. Key narrative components include characters, settings, linear plots, implicit moral messages, third-person point of view, and the use of simple language suited for early childhood contexts. Validation results show that the picture storybook was rated as highly appropriate by content experts (score: 89.5) and media experts (score: 59.5). Furthermore, parental assessment indicated the book was very easy to read, with scores of 83.8 in a small-scale test and 85.12 in a large-scale test. The results of this study imply that a well-structured picture storybook can function as an effective educational tool for improving parental understanding and strategies in managing tantrum behavior. However, a limitation of this study is the absence of data on long-term behavioral outcomes due to the restriction of the research to the development stage. Future research is recommended to employ a pretest-posttest experimental design to evaluate the book’s effectiveness in enhancing parental knowledge and attitudes. Expanding the sample size and duration of book use is also advised to assess its broader applicability.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and critically analyze the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in Early Childhood Education (ECE), while also exploring the supporting and inhibiting factors and gathering strategic recommendations from teachers as frontline practitioners. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis involving teachers from selected kindergartens implementing PjBL. The findings reveal that teachers generally understand PjBL as a project activity but struggle to differentiate it from conventional crafts or display projects. Their understanding of the pedagogical structure of PjBL remains limited, particularly regarding essential elements such as driving questions, inquiry-based exploration, and authentic assessment. Lesson plans are often based on available topics rather than emerging from children’s interests, and assessment strategies are rarely integrated from the beginning of the planning stage. Implementation tends to be teacher-directed, limiting children’s autonomy, problem-solving, and collaborative learning opportunities. However, children show increased enthusiasm and curiosity when given opportunities to explore, especially through outdoor and environmental projects. Supporting factors include institutional encouragement, parental involvement, and the use of culturally relevant contexts. Conversely, challenges such as time constraints, inadequate training, and limited resources hinder effective implementation. Teachers recommend continuous, practice-based training, collaborative and flexible lesson planning, integration of community resources, and development of assessment tools that evaluate creativity, communication, and collaboration. This study contributes to a better understanding of how PjBL can be meaningfully adapted in early childhood settings and provides practical insights for improving teacher professional development and curriculum design.

Abstract

Local traditions play a pivotal role in shaping parenting practices and early childhood development in rural Indonesian communities. This study explores the beliefs, values, and daily parenting practices surrounding dreadlocked children at an early age within Muslim farming families in Dieng, Wonosobo. Employing an ethnographic qualitative design, the research investigates how Islamic teachings and local traditions intersect to shape caregiving patterns for children aged 2–7 whose dreadlocks are perceived as sacred signs of spiritual and ancestral connection. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, document analysis, and life history narratives with 25 key informants including parents, kyai, and community elders. Findings reveal that dreadlocked children are regarded as culturally blessed, with parenting approaches characterized by emotional attentiveness, permissiveness, and ritualized social inclusion. The practice of ruwatan—a ceremonial haircut accompanied by prayers and offerings—emerges as a key event in cultural learning and early character development. These parenting patterns reflect a model of culturally responsive education that emphasizes identity formation, moral values, and communal integration. The implications underscore the necessity of redefining special needs education to accommodate culturally distinct child-rearing practices. However, as the study is context-specific and based on qualitative methods, its findings require further exploration through comparative and longitudinal research. The research contributes to a growing discourse on inclusive and localized approaches to early childhood education in multicultural societies

Abstract

Polygamous family structures present unique challenges to early childhood development, particularly in terms of emotional security, social adaptability, and access to paternal care, yet remain underexplored in academic research. This study explores the role of fathering in shaping early childhood adjustment within polygamous family structures. It investigates how different levels of paternal involvement, such as caregiving, emotional support, and educational engagement, affect children's social and emotional development. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving two fathers who live separately from one or more of their wives and serve as the sole economic providers in their households. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify patterns of fathering practices and their relation to children's adjustment outcomes. Findings reveal stark contrasts between the two parenting approaches. One father demonstrated high engagement, shared household responsibilities, and fostered autonomy in educational decision-making, contributing to the child’s emotional security and social adaptability. In contrast, the other father adhered to traditional and authoritative roles, fully delegating caregiving to his wives and limiting his children’s external social exposure, which may hinder their emotional development and peer interaction. This study highlights the importance of culturally contextualized fathering and calls for inclusive parenting programs that accommodate diverse family structures, especially within polygamous contexts. However, the study is limited by its small sample size and context-specific focus, which may constrain the broader applicability of its conclusions. Future research is recommended to involve more diverse participants across regions and apply longitudinal methods to explore long-term patterns of fathering and early childhood development within varied family configurations.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the talaqqi method in Qur’anic memorization of Juz ‘Amma among kindergarten students at Baitussalihin Integrated Islamic Kindergarten in Banda Aceh. Although widely regarded as a foundational pedagogical approach in Islamic education, the talaqqi method remains understudied in early childhood contexts, particularly in relation to its interaction with home learning environments and parental support. The objective of this study is to examine how the talaqqi method is applied in classroom instruction, identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing its effectiveness, and assess the extent to which family-school collaboration affects children’s memorization outcomes. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through participatory observation and semi-structured interviews involving one principal, one teacher, one parent, and three students from Class B. Data were analyzed thematically using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings reveal that while the talaqqi method was implemented systematically through phases of teacher recitation, student repetition (murājaʿah), and evaluation, its success was heavily influenced by contextual factors. Supporting elements included structured tahfīẓ programs, availability of auditory media, and parenting sessions. Inhibiting factors included inconsistent parental involvement, minimal follow-up at home, and difficulties in children’s articulation of makhārij al-ḥurūf. This study contributes to the growing literature on Qur’anic pedagogy by affirming that the effectiveness of talaqqi in early childhood education is not solely determined by instructional methods but also by the alignment between formal and informal learning contexts. Limitations of this study include its focus on a single institutional setting and reliance on qualitative data, which restrict generalizability. Future research should consider longitudinal or mixed-method designs to examine long-term memorization retention and the role of family engagement. Educators and curriculum developers are advised to integrate structured home-school communication mechanisms and provide training for parents in Qur’anic literacy facilitation.

Abstract

Early childhood education in Indonesia continues to encounter significant challenges in fostering critical thinking skills, particularly in under-resourced environments with limited access to adaptive learning technologies. This study investigates the effectiveness of a digital learning model that integrates Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance critical thinking among young children. The model, called SMARP (Storytelling, Modifying, Accessible, Real-time, and Promoting), was developed using a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Deploy. The study involved 32 kindergarten students from TK Nada Ashobah in Surabaya, divided into two groups: Class B2 (experimental) and Class B1 (control). The experimental group used an AR–AI-based application, while the control group followed conventional instruction. Data collection included classroom observations, teacher interviews, and critical thinking pre- and post-tests. Statistical analysis using paired sample t-tests and normalized gain (N-gain) scores showed a significant improvement in the experimental group (N-gain = 0.845, categorized as high), while the control group recorded minimal gains (N-gain = 0.0015). The AR–AI model enabled immersive learning through 3D simulations, narrative interaction, and real-time feedback, which promoted observation, analysis, and decision-making. Furthermore, AI features supported personalized learning pathways, increasing student autonomy and engagement. These findings affirm the potential of AR and AI to improve foundational cognitive abilities in early childhood education. The study highlights the need for context-responsive digital pedagogy and recommends comprehensive teacher training and infrastructure support to ensure sustainability. Future research should explore the model’s scalability, long-term impact, and adaptability across diverse educational settings.

Abstract

Traditional dance not only represents cultural heritage but also embodies pedagogical values that can be integrated into early childhood education. One such traditional dance that remains vibrant and practiced in the northern coastal region of Java is the Babalu Folk Dance, characterized by rhythmic, simple yet expressive movements. Although children’s dance practices have flourished in informal educational settings, the utilization of traditional dance as a child development–oriented learning medium remains severely limited. This study originates from this gap, noting the lack of systematic exploration of the contribution of traditional dance movement variations to the holistic development of early childhood. This research aims to analyze the movement structure of Babalu Dance and evaluate its potential in supporting five key developmental domains of early childhood: gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, socio-emotional, and artistic appreciation. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this study was conducted at Sanggar Putra Budaya Batang, involving six children aged 4–6 years, six dance instructors, and six parents. Data collection techniques included participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and visual documentation, followed by thematic analysis. The findings reveal that each movement category—head, hand, foot, and body—specifically contributes to various dimensions of child development. Body and foot movements support balance and coordination; hand movements strengthen fine motor skills; and the choreographic structure fosters cognitive, social, and expressive aspects. This study underscores the potential of Babalu Folk Dance as a culturally grounded contextual learning medium and recommends its integration into character- and traditional arts–based early childhood education curricula.
