Abstract

This study aims to increase awareness and implementation of Clean and Healthy Lifestyle (PHBS) in early childhood through the implementation of Problem Solving-based learning model. This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach which is implemented in two cycles. The subjects of the study were 14 students of group B at TKS Muslimat NU XVIII Pamekasan. Data were collected through direct observation using daily child behavior assessment sheets related to PHBS, and analyzed descriptively-analytical. The results showed a significant increase in the implementation of PHBS. In cycle I, the average success of children in carrying out PHBS indicators was only 49.13%, with most children still in the category of Starting to Develop (MB). After improvements were made to learning strategies and approaches in cycle II, the average success increased to 80.56%, with most children showing behaviors Developing According to Expectations (BSH) and Developing Very Well (BSB). The indicators that experienced the most significant increase included the habit of washing hands with soap, brushing teeth regularly, and consuming vegetables and fruits every day. This study has limitations, especially in measuring behavioral changes consistently due to time constraints and the potential influence of the environment outside the school. However, the results of this study indicate that the Problem Solving learning model is effective in forming healthy living habits from an early age. This approach can be applied more widely in other early childhood education institutions as a preventive effort to build health awareness from an early age as a whole.

Abstract

Early childhood education requires a learning approach that is appropriate to the characteristics of cognitive development and the multisensory needs of children. The learning of hijaiyah letters in PAUD-based institutions still faces challenges in the application of conventional methods that are less effective in arousing the interest of children aged 4-5 years. This study aims to describe the implementation of Hijaiyah Pop Up Book media in introducing hijaiyah basic letters, identifying supporting and inhibiting factors, and evaluating learning outcomes. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study at RA Tarbiyatus Shibyan Banyuwangi on 16 children aged 4-5 years. Data collection techniques used participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model with data triangulation. The results of the study showed that the Hijaiyah Pop Up Book media significantly increased children's involvement and ability to recognize basic hijaiyah letters. This media creates a multisensory learning experience that combines visual, kinesthetic, and cognitive aspects according to the characteristics of child development. Most children achieve the Expected Development (BSH) and Very Good Developed (BSB) categories in cognitive, linguistic, social-emotional, and fine motor aspects. Supporting factors include children's high enthusiasm and teacher support, while the limited number of media is the main obstacle. The Pop Up Book media has proven to be effective as an innovative alternative to learning hijaiyah letters that integrates Islamic values in early childhood education.

Abstract

Early childhood sex education in Indonesia has become urgent due to rising cases of child sexual violence reported by authorities. Despite its proven role in preventing abuse and supporting healthy development, implementation remains limited, hindered by cultural taboos, lack of educator training, and insufficient institutional support. This study analyzed how early childhood educators’ knowledge and perceptions influence their attitudes toward sex education in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. Using a quantitative correlational approach and simple random sampling, 99 kindergarten teachers responded to an online questionnaire. Multiple linear regression showed knowledge and perception positively and significantly affected attitudes, contributing 36.1% simultaneously. However, many teachers still exhibit hesitant or unsupportive attitudes, influenced by cultural factors and lack of training and support. Limitations include the sample restricted to Bantul teachers, reliance on questionnaires without qualitative data, and focus only on knowledge and perceptions. Future research should expand geographic scope and methods, testing structured training and parental involvement programs. Educational institutions are advised to provide routine training based on local context and guidelines, while schools should engage parents and community leaders to reduce stigma and enhance effective early childhood sex education implementation.

Abstract

Character is one of the important things that must be formed from an early age. The formation of character in children does not occur spontaneously, there is a process that is passed through stimulation. One of the characters that must be formed is responsibility. This study aims to determine the habit of praying Ashar in congregation in improving the character of responsibility of early childhood at TPQ Darul Muttaqin, Buayan District. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation. The subjects of this study were male and female students of TPQ Daarul Muttaqin Buayan Kebumen.  The results of the study showed that the habit of praying Ashar in congregation is carried out every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday routinely. The habit of praying in congregation also forms an attitude of discipline, independence, and responsibility in children. Children begin to get used to coming on time for congregational prayers, performing ablution independently, getting used to queuing and tidying up their own prayer equipment. This activity also encourages children to have a sense of social responsibility, such as reminding friends to join in ablution. The conclusion of this study is that the habit of praying in congregation is an effective strategy in forming a character of responsibility in early childhood.

Abstract

This study addresses the lack of meaningful planning in early childhood education (ECE) activities, particularly in the integration of traditional games. Traditional games possess rich educational value that can enhance learning experiences by making them joyful, meaningful, and mindful collectively referred to as deep learning in the context of this research, unrelated to artificial intelligence. The study aimed to explore how traditional games can be systematically implemented to foster deep learning in young children. Conducted as classroom action research, the study involved 16 children aged 5–6 years in a kindergarten setting, selected through purposive sampling. The research was carried out over two cycles, with data collected through structured observation and analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods to calculate developmental achievement percentages in cognitive, emotional, and social aspects. Results showed an increase in deep learning indicators: joyful learning rose from 62.5% in Cycle 1 to 87.5% in Cycle 2, meaningful learning from 56.3% to 81.3%, and mindful learning from 50.0% to 78.1%. These findings indicate that traditional games, when intentionally integrated into lesson plans, can significantly contribute to holistic child development. The study concludes that achieving deep learning through traditional games requires consistent implementation, teacher commitment, and thoughtful planning aligned with children's developmental stages.
