Abstract

This study aims to identify parents’ color preferences, sources of visual inspiration, and the roles of family members in decision-making when selecting products for early childhood. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through an online survey involving 185 parents. The instrument included a color preference scale, Likert-based attitude statements, and comparative visual image selections. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed to interpret the data. The findings indicate that bright colors remain dominant for products such as toys and clothing, reflecting associations with playfulness and stimulation. In contrast, neutral tones, such as beige and earth colors, are more frequently preferred for educational products and room settings, as they are perceived to promote calmness and visual comfort for children. Direct visual encounters with products and exposure to social media content emerge as the primary sources of visual inspiration. At the same time, mothers are identified as the main decision-makers regarding children’s product selection within the family. These results suggest that parents’ visual choices are shaped not only by functional considerations but also by lifestyle aspirations and aesthetic values believed to support children’s development. Within this context, color functions as a symbolic representation of family identity and parental expectations for children’s everyday environments. This study recommends that designers, manufacturers, and early childhood education practitioners give greater consideration to visual aspects in product development and calls for further research on the developmental implications of visual design in early childhood settings.

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of Screencast-O-Matic–assisted Project-Based Learning (PjBL) on the creativity of prospective Islamic early childhood education teachers in higher education. A quantitative method with a descriptive-associative design was employed. The participants were 75 sixth-semester students from the Islamic Early Childhood Education program at IAIN Langsa, Aceh, selected using the Slovin sampling technique. Data were collected using an observation checklist measuring four dimensions of creativity - fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration - and a questionnaire capturing students' responses toward the implementation of Screencast-O-Matic–assisted PjBL. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson's product–moment correlation, t-tests, and simple linear regression in SPSS version 20. The findings revealed that PjBL supported by Screencast-O-Matic had a positive and statistically significant effect on students' creativity (t = 2.312, p = 0.004). However, the strength of this relationship was relatively weak (r = 0.370), indicating that the learning model contributed only marginally to overall creativity development. Further analysis showed that the contribution of technology-assisted PjBL was not evenly distributed across creativity dimensions. The learning model was more effective in enhancing students' elaboration skills, particularly in organizing, developing, and presenting ideas in a structured manner, while its effect on originality remained limited. These results suggest that Screencast-O-Matic–assisted PjBL supports structured idea development rather than the generation of genuinely novel ideas, especially when instructional design does not explicitly target divergent thinking and originality. Consequently, although the learning model demonstrates a statistically significant contribution to creativity, the research objectives were only partially achieved. Future research is therefore recommended to employ mixed-method or experimental designs, develop project tasks that explicitly target originality and divergent thinking, and examine the long-term effects of technology-assisted PjBL on broader pedagogical competencies and professional readiness across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This study aimed to adapt the Student–Teacher Relationship Scale into Indonesian and to examine its psychometric reliability in the Indonesian educational context. The research participants were Indonesian teachers working with youth learners, selected through purposive sampling based on their direct instructional involvement with students. The adaptation process employed a quantitative methodological approach and followed standard cross-cultural procedures, including forward translation, back-translation, expert judgment, and cultural refinement to ensure semantic and conceptual equivalence. Data were collected using STRS which measures three core dimensions of teacher–student relationships: openness, conflict, and dependency. Reliability analysis was conducted using Cronbach’s alpha to assess internal consistency. The results indicated that the Indonesian version of the instrument demonstrated high reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.894, suggesting strong internal consistency across items. Minor linguistic adjustments were implemented to enhance cultural appropriateness without altering the theoretical constructs measured by the scale. To sum up, the findings indicate that the Indonesian adaptation of the Student–Teacher Relationship Scale is a reliable instrument for assessing teacher–student relationship quality in Indonesian educational settings. The adapted scale can be applied by researchers and educational practitioners to better understand relational dynamics that contribute to children’s school adjustment and to inform educational intervention.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital-based practical Qur'an learning book for prospective early childhood teachers. This research and development use Alessi and Trollip model with three steps; planning, design and development. Media experts and product material experts validated the product's feasibility. Then, the product was tested on prospective early childhood teachers in Langsa. The results of the development of practice materials for learning the Qur'an based on digital books through media experts before the revision was 68% and increased after being revised to 84%, while the score from material experts before the revision was 56% and increased after the revision to 76%. The teacher was tested first to measure competence in reading the Qur'an using an unfeasible product, and then the second stage test was carried out. Therefore, the revised product shows that the practical Qur'an learning book is feasible to use as a learning medium to improve the competence of prospective early childhood teachers in reading and teaching Qur'an.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a child-friendly school (CFS) in improving children's self-esteem. In addition, it also describes the implementation of child-friendly schools in learning activities, facilities and infrastructure The study applied descriptive qualitative approach. The informants were the principal, teacher, and students aged 4-5 at Pembina Srengat State Kindergarten. The researcher gathered data through interviews, documentation, and observation. The result of this study suggest that CFS adoption has a considerable impact on boosting self-confidence. Children can express their emotions during play and learning activities, share their thoughts, and carry out the many duties assigned by the teacher. Although the teacher occasionally gives the students additional direction due to the children's frequently clashing personalities in early childhood, the character of self-confidence has been accomplished. It follows that creative and engaging teachers can influence students' feelings of enjoyment while studying, thereby continually developing a self-assured character.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the sibling rivalry behavior mentioned in the Quran involving Prophet Yusuf and his brothers, its causes, indications, effects and treatment as extracted from the story. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach involving various sources such as journals, books and classic literatures. The result of this study indicated that the causes of siblings encountered in the story of Prophet Yusuf as. were jealousy that builds an assumption of the existence of favoritism between siblings by parents, kids being competitive to get their parent's attention, lack of empathy for the sibling, harmful anger and manipulative attitude. To deal with this behavior, Prophet Yaqub showed an example as a distinctive parent by being patient with the children's behavior, playing fair with all his children, building good communication, and educating the children to always have a good connection with God.
