Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of a neuroscience-based reading application in stimulating early literacy among children aged 5-6 years at RA Asy-Syuhada' Pamekasan. The research employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach, involving 20 children selected through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using a performance-based assessment instrument developed based on the Early Childhood Development Achievement Standards (STPPA). The instrument was validated through expert judgment by two experts one in early childhood education and one in educational technology and was further supported by a practitioner in early childhood education. The results showed a significant improvement in early literacy scores, with the mean score increasing from 11.40 (moderate category) to 22.15 (high category), supported by a t-value of 14.98 and p < 0.001 at a significance level of 0.05. These findings indicate that the neuroscience-based reading application is effective in stimulating early literacy development through the activation of multisensory neural pathways involving visual, auditory, and motor processing in early childhood.

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine how the Reggio Emilia Approach contributes to the development of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in children aged 5–6 years. HOTS, which involve the abilities to analyze, evaluate, and create, need to be fostered from an early age to support children’s critical and creative thinking development. This research applied a qualitative descriptive design and was carried out at RA Nahdliyatul Islamiyah. The research participants included a classroom teacher and children in the 5–6 age group. Data were obtained through direct observation of learning activities, in-depth interviews with the teacher, and documentation of children’s learning processes and products. The data were then analyzed using the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicated that learning activities based on the Reggio Emilia Approach, such as project work, exploration, and group discussion, were able to encourage the development of children’s higher-level thinking. Children demonstrated analytical skills when identifying and exploring objects, evaluative skills when expressing opinions, and creative skills when producing their own work. In addition, the teacher’s role as a facilitator and the provision of a supportive learning environment strengthened this development. It can be concluded that the Reggio Emilia Approach is effective in supporting the enhancement of HOTS in early childhood learning.

Abstract

In the midst of shifting parenting paradigms, early childhood has become a critical arena where millennial parents must navigate between traditional expectations and modern approaches. This study aims to explore the skepticism of millennial parents toward modern parenting science and to examine the influencing factors, including personal experiences, traditional cultural norms, media exposure, and the psychological impacts that arise. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving fifteen millennial parents living in a traditional community setting. The findings reveal that childhood experiences serve as a primary reference point in evaluating the effectiveness of modern parenting approaches. Local cultural values that emphasize collectivism, physical closeness, and family hierarchy reinforce resistance to new parenting paradigms. Meanwhile, exposure to digital media provides broad access to parenting information but also leads to confusion due to the overwhelming and often contradictory content. This skepticism results in inconsistent parenting practices, social pressure, and internal conflicts that contribute to emotional fatigue and psychological strain among parents. The study concludes that skepticism toward modern parenting science is not a form of outright rejection, but rather an adaptive response to the mismatch between theoretical ideals and the socio-cultural realities faced by parents. Therefore, the dissemination of modern parenting approaches must be contextualized, participatory, and sensitive to the lived experiences and cultural values of millennial parents.

Abstract

The most effective way for schools to foster early childhood character development is through habituation activities, which represent the initial stage in shaping children’s character. Children’s perceptions and behaviors can develop and change through continuous stimulation. This study aims to examine how habituation activities support the internalization of children’s character. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 25 group B students at TK Plus Usman Al-Farsy, along with one principal and one assistant teacher as supporting informants. The study was conducted during the first semester of 2025 and lasted for one month. Data were collected through documentation, interviews, and observations, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that character internalization was fostered through habitual practices such as cleaning up toys, storing personal belongings, and lining up before and after activities. Consistent implementation, parental support, and teacher role modeling were key contributing factors. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the processes, stages, and components influencing the successful internalization of responsibility character in early childhood education institutions.

Abstract

The shift from conventional to digital parenting presents concrete challenges for Madurese Muslim families who must balance technological literacy with the preservation of cultural values. The technology literacy gap between parents and children leads to the declining transmission of bhapa’ bhabhu’ ghuru rato (respect for father, mother, teacher, and leader), ta’dzim (courtesy), and andhap asor (humility) in daily family life. Existing digital parenting scholarship has been largely shaped by Western-secular perspectives that overlook how conservative religious communities negotiate technology use through religious and local cultural frameworks. This study explores how Islamic values and Madurese local wisdom shape digital parenting practices and their implications for early childhood digital resilience. A six-month qualitative case study was conducted at PAUD Al-Hikmah Pamekasan using non-participatory observation and semi-structured interviews with ten key informants. Reflexive thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s six iterative stages was applied to identify patterns and themes. Three cultural mediation patterns were identified: technology filtering based on dual religious and cultural criteria, prioritization of physical interaction through traditional games, and family-school partnerships navigating implementation tensions. Children develop dual competencies by appreciating traditional values while engaging with digital media selectively. This study recommends that digital parenting programs integrate religious perspectives and actively involve local religious leaders as strategic implementation partners.
