Abstract

This study aims to examine the strategic use of social media, particularly Instagram, as a means to strengthen branding at the Early Childhood Education institution KB Assyarbani, and to evaluate its impact on the ainstitution's visibility and reputation in the public eye. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The study focused on a social media management training program provided to ECE staff, which included skills in content editing, hashtag usage, and consistent publishing. The findings reveal that well-planned and creative social media strategies enhance audience engagement, broaden the school's promotional reach, and contribute to building a positive institutional image. Visual documentation of children's activities, parent testimonials, and student achievements, as well as uniform design and unique educational programs, were found to be key elements in crafting a strong branding narrative. However, challenges such as the risk of disseminating inaccurate information highlight the need for clear digital policies and continuous content monitoring. The implications of this study suggest that professional training and management of social media represent a crucial investment in shaping the identity of educational institutions. In conclusion, social media can serve as a strategic tool for strengthening ECE branding when used consistently, creatively, and in alignment with the institution's vision.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low mathematical ability of children aged 5–6 years, which is mostly caused by learning methods that are less interesting and tend to be monotonous. Learning at the ECE level generally still focuses on the use of worksheets and teacher-dominated approaches, so that children are less actively involved in the learning process. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which educational game media, especially the modified monopoly board game, can improve children's mathematical understanding. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design (non-equivalent control group design). The sample consisted of 18 children selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data collected through structured observation and analyzed using the N-Gain formula and the Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that the N-Gain value of 0.84 was classified as high, and the Mann-Whitney test showed a significance of 0.000 <0.05. This means that there is a significant difference between the experimental and control groups, so that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. Thus, the monopoly game is proven to be effective in improving the mathematical abilities of early childhood children.

Abstract

Individuals with disabilities are one of the most vulnerable people due to sexual abuse. A recent study found that 31.7% of children with disabilities experience violence, and these children are at twice the risk of being subjected to violence compared to children without disabilities. This alarming disparity underscores the crucial role of educators. Teachers, given their professional roles with special needs students, are uniquely positioned to provide essential sexual education and protective guidance in schools. To explore the challenge faced by teachers in special schools in teaching the prevention of sexual abuse among children with special needs. The methodology used included a qualitative method with a phenomenology approach using in-depth interviews with 11 teachers in special schools and analysis of data was done using qualitative thematic analysis. Four themes emerged summarizing such as type of disabilities, teacher’s competence, environment, and implementation of health reproduction in school. Most teachers revealed that the challenge in teaching sexual abuse prevention is a limitation in a student's ability to learn, teacher’s limited knowledge in handling the students, neglectful parenting, lack of training for teachers, and non-inclusive health reproduction programs. This study showed that the experience of special school teachers in preventing sexual abuse is considered to have been done well but not maximized due to the challenges felt by teachers. Programs should encourage development of skills and knowledge of special school teachers. Sexual abuse prevention education for children with disabilities can be made a special program in special schools.

Abstract

The study aims to showcase the utilization of play-based activities in teaching young learners during Covid-19. During the early stage of the pandemic, all Early Childhood Education (ECE) centers in Indonesia were closed for nearly two years. In July 2020, the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture published guidelines for implementing Curriculum under Special Circumstances to support the continuation of the learning process. The guidelines included the recommended educational modules for Early Childhood Learning to help the learning process from home by including activity-based education explanations for teachers, parents, and students. The preschool teachers in Indonesia had to adapt to the new guidelines to continue to educate their students at home. One of the adaptations was to use educational play-kits sent to the students directly to their houses for learning purposes. The method used in this research study is qualitative research through focus-group discussions with the respondents. The study observed 15 preschool teachers from three schools in Jakarta and Pandeglang who utilized play-based activities in their daily lesson plans for two weeks. The finding from the study concluded that play-based activities were effective for early childhood education programs during the pandemic, with solid support from the teachers and parents, sufficient training for the teachers, and a significant variety of activities for the students. In addition, key challenges to overcome in implementing play-based activities in an online setting were teachers' lack of technology-savviness, parents' limited mobile devices, network or connection problems, and budget constraints in developing play-based activities.

Abstract

Instilling the values of religious moderation from an early age is a strategic step in forming a tolerant and inclusive character in children. This study aims to describe the introduction of houses of worship as a medium for learning the values of religious moderation in group B students in Kartika XX-12 Kindergarten. The approach used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Introduction activities are carried out through various methods, such as illustrated stories, virtual visits to houses of worship (mosques, churches, temples, and monasteries), and simple discussions tailored to the child's developmental level. The results of the activity showed that children began to get to know various types of houses of worship along with their social functions and noble values contained in them, such as mutual respect, empathy, and coexistence in differences. The child's response was very positive, shown by high curiosity and the ability to correctly pronounce the names of houses of worship and related religions. Teachers play an important role as facilitators in guiding discussions and directing children's understanding in a moderate and inclusive direction. In conclusion, the introduction of houses of worship is effective as an educational means of instilling the values of religious moderation in early childhood. This activity also supports the development of character values by the Merdeka Curriculum (an Indonesian Curriculum), which emphasizes the importance of tolerance and diversity.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the readiness of individuals to adjust to various conditions and challenges faced. For example, during the pandemic conditions we have experienced, This pandemic condition forces individuals to adapt to conditions, including Indonesian families. This condition is also experienced by a person when dealing with unexpected disaster conditions. Many parents find it difficult to deal with their anxiety with all the pressure and keep their children safe. But as time goes by, individuals generally strive to rise from adversity and try to readjust. This ability to rise from depressed situation is called resilience. Resilience grows and develops throughout human life and begins to develop from early childhood. Everyone has different resilience abilities depending on the individual's experience and personality. In children, one of the factors that can play a role in the formation of resilience is the condition of the child's nearest and smallest environment, namely the family and parents. How much effort parents make to create a sense of security and comfort for the family, and the ability of parents to face obstacles is one of the factors that play a role in the formation of children's resilience. This study aims to find out how big the role of parental resilience plays in the formation of resilience in early childhood. The method in this study is a quantitative approach with a correlation technique. The sample was selected using a simple random sampling technique under the criteria of parents who have children aged 2 to 6 years. The result of this study is that parental resilience has a significant role in efforts to build resilience in early childhood (r = 0.487). However, there are still other factors or variables that can play a role in the formation of early childhood resilience need further studies.
