Abstract

In today's era of digital transformation and artificial intelligence, executive function skills and adaptive character are crucial competencies for students to face complex future challenges. Teaching that integrates interactive media based on smart technology with a spiritual values ​​approach is seen as an effective and creative strategy to cultivate these skills from an early age. Although previous research has focused on basic digital literacy, evaluation of the impact of teaching that combines cognitive and spiritual aspects holistically is still limited. This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of an instructional system based on the AEWake model through a smart puzzle barcode hijaiyah media designed to stimulate executive function while instilling an Islamic Growth Mindset. Using a Research and Development (R&D) method with an adapted development model, the study involved 90 early childhood children as test subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through structured observations based on the AEWake instrument and digital documentation, which were then analyzed using inferential statistics to measure the media's effectiveness. The results showed that the use of this instructional media had a significant positive impact on improving children's directed attention, self-control, and cognitive flexibility. The findings revealed that digital scaffolding through interactive content was a key variable influencing learning success, while the use of recycled materials was shown to increase sensory comfort without reducing the effectiveness of the technology. It is concluded that the integration of AI-enabled technology and Islamic values ​​is able to support sustainable cognitive and character development in the PAUD environment.

Abstract

In today's era of digital transformation and the dominance of artificial intelligence, cognitive and social-emotional skills, such as social-emotional learning (SEL) and early moderation, have become vital competencies for students from an early stage of education. Adaptive instructional systems (Adaptive AI)-based instruction integrated with automated formative assessment is seen as an effective and creative strategy to enhance these skills through in-depth personalized learning. Over the past two decades, research on immersive technology has increased rapidly, but evaluation of its impact on character development and moderation attitudes in early childhood remains very limited. This study evaluates the impact of Adaptive AI-driven instruction on students' SEL skills and moderation behaviors, and systematically investigates the key factors contributing to their cognitive and affective development. The primary objective of this study is to map the effectiveness of AI-based formative assessment in monitoring the development of digital tolerance and resilience values ​​from an early age through integrative quantitative evidence. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and meta-analysis of 137 empirical studies indexed in the Scopus database from 2000 to 2026. Data analysis was conducted using the Google Colab platform using the R programming language (metafor package) to calculate effect sizes and ensure data transparency. Key findings indicate that adaptive instructional systems have a significant positive impact on children's emotional maturity and inclusive attitudes. Variables such as scaffolding features in AI interactions and multimodal communication strategies were shown to significantly influence outcomes, while geographic location factors had no significant impact. In conclusion, the ethical integration of AI has profound implications for the development of early childhood education curricula based on digital resilience and moderation.

Abstract

In today's digital era, critical and creative thinking skills are crucial for students to adapt to the demands of the 21st century. Creative and effective teaching, such as geometric problem solving, is considered an attractive strategy to enhance these skills. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of geometric problem solving teaching on students' cognitive development at the elementary level, where previous research has focused more on the development of cognitive and psychomotor skills. The main objective of this study was to analyze the level of mathematical creativity of early grade students in solving geometric problems involving triangles and quadrilaterals. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this study involved three students with different levels of mathematical ability. Data were collected through validated problem-solving tasks, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed based on indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results showed significant differences in students' cognitive levels: students with high ability achieved Creative Thinking Level (CTL) 4, students with medium ability achieved CTL 2, and students with low ability achieved CTL 0. The integration of non-routine geometric problems from the early grades is crucial for mapping and stimulating students' creative potential. These findings provide practical implications for educators in designing inclusive learning interventions to accelerate the achievement of basic numeracy literacy and 21st-century skills in accordance with the global mandate of the SDGs.

Abstract

The rapid transition toward a sustainable global economy necessitates a fundamental shift in K-12 education, particularly in integrating environmental ethics with digital literacy. This research evaluates how Blue and Green Economy philanthropy can be strategically integrated into eco-pedagogy to strengthen Village SDGs and foster digital resilience among students (Ages 7-18). Utilizing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and content analysis of high-impact publications (2020-2025), this study proposes a novel "Interdisciplinary Sustainability Framework" (ISF). The findings indicate that philanthropy-driven eco-pedagogy, when integrated through digital-based environmental monitoring apps, social-media-driven climate campaigns, and VR/AR immersive learning environments, significantly enhances students' digital resilience and critical inquiry. The results highlight that teacher-led scaffolding is the most dominant variable in successful implementation, while infrastructure-only philanthropy without pedagogical integration shows minimal impact on character resilience. This study implies that for Village SDGs to be sustainable, philanthropic investments must prioritize the synergy between eco-literacy and digital ethics, funded through sustainable tech grants, within rural educational settings.
