Abstract

The development of critical thinking skills in early childhood is a crucial aspect that must be stimulated and nurtured through appropriate approaches. This study aims to enhance children's critical thinking abilities through the use of an educational play tool themed volcanic eruption at RA Bustanul Ulum Badean Bangsalsari Jember. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing observation, interviews, and documentation to obtain an in-depth picture of the learning process in the field. The findings indicate that the volcanic eruption educational play tool serves as an effective learning strategy for fostering children's critical thinking skills. This is evident in the active involvement of children during exploratory activities, from constructing to practicing with the tool, which encourages them to observe, ask questions, and draw conclusions independently. Through this process, children develop reasoning abilities that form the fundamental basis of critical thinking.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the alignment of fairy tale books published by Naura with moral values and reasoning that are appropriate for early childhood.and its relevance to child development at RA Rumah Kreatif Wadas Kelir. Ontology in this context is interpreted as a fundamental study of the nature of values, character, and the formation of children's personalities which are represented through the storyline, characters, and moral messages in fairy tales.This study also examines whether these stories meet the criteria for quality literature that supports moral development in accordance with the developmental characteristics of early childhood. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a content analysis approach, combined with a case study design at RA Rumah Kreatif Wadas Kelir. The research findings indicate that Naura's fairy tale books effectively convey moral values relevant to children's daily experiences, such as obedience and perseverance. These values align with the typical moral reasoning stage in early childhood, which, according to Kohlberg's theory, corresponds to the pre-conventional level. The narratives presented in these books have ontological implications for early childhood education, particularly in fostering and supporting the moral development of young learners.The stories in this book can be a fun character learning medium, making it easier for teachers to instill good values, and supporting the formation of children's self-identity based on story literacy, while also providing practical recommendations for educators in optimizing the use of story books as a character learning medium.

Abstract

Memorization, writing and counting activities become something that is considered very difficult if the concept has not been mastered. Mathematical skills in understanding basic mathematical concepts can be trained first in recognizing geometric shapes before recognizing number symbols. This can be done through geometry lombat games that are played directly by the child. The purpose of this study is that educators can use innovative strategies in the introduction of basic math for children, which can be done through games that are fun and meaningful for children. The research method used descriptive qualitative with 8 subjects conducted at Pertiwi Nglebak Ngawi Kindergarten. The research technique used observation, interview and documentation techniques. And then the results are analyzed until they reach a conclusion. The findings in this study are that the strategy of introducing basic mathematics based on geometry jumping games is very suitable to be implemented for children aged 4-5 years. Geometry jumping games can introduce children to geometric shapes such as triangles, circles, squares and rectangles. In addition, children can remember the names of shapes and characteristics of geometric shapes easily and fun.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of role-playing methods in enhancing various aspects of early childhood development at RA Raudhlatul Hidayah, Cirebon. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing data collection techniques such as observations, teacher interviews, and documentation analysis. The findings of the study indicate that role-playing significantly contributes to children's cognitive, social-emotional, language, and physical development. Children engaged in role-playing activities showed improvements in problem-solving skills, language abilities, empathy, and cooperation. However, challenges such as ensuring equal participation and the availability of resources (such as costumes and props) were identified as obstacles in the implementation of this method. Overall, the study emphasizes the importance of integrating role-playing into early childhood education curricula as a tool to support holistic child development. Recommendations for future research include examining the long-term effects of role-playing on children's development and exploring strategies to overcome implementation challenges.

Abstract

Early childhood education plays a key role in establishing healthy lifestyle habits; however, health-related domains such as nutrition, hygiene, physical activity, and socio-emotional learning are often addressed in a fragmented manner in preschool settings. This study aimed to design, implement, and analyze a health promotion intervention in a Portuguese preschool, examining its contribution to children’s health-related knowledge and behaviors, as well as to the professional development of the intern educator. The study was conducted as part of a professional higher technical internship in Child and Youth Care and adopted an action research methodology. Cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection guided the implementation of the Healthy Life project, which comprised seven structured, play-based activities focused on nutrition, hygiene, physical activity, and socio-emotional regulation. Data was collected through systematic participant observation, field notes, photographic documentation, and reflective journals. Observational data indicated improvements in children’s ability to identify healthy and less healthy foods, describe basic hygiene procedures, and express emotions using appropriate vocabulary. Behavioral indicators included more frequent spontaneous handwashing before meals, peer reminders of hygiene routines, and increased requests for water instead of sweetened beverages during snack time. Group-based activities were associated with enhanced cooperation, turn-taking, and empathetic responses among peers. The findings suggest that preschools are effective contexts for promoting healthy lifestyles when health education is integrated into daily routines and supported by reflective teaching practices. The study highlights the importance of educator training, institutional support, and family involvement to sustain health-promoting behaviors in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of parents in guiding early childhood interactions with artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology within the framework of digital parenting. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving ten parents of children aged 4–6. The findings indicate that active mediation was the most commonly applied strategy (8 out of 10 parents), though restrictive mediation remains dominant in limiting access and screen time. Co-using was the least practiced due to time constraints and low digital literacy. A key finding highlights parents' limited understanding of AI principles, which hinders reflective and educational engagement during children’s AI use. This study introduces a novel contribution by integrating parental AI literacy into the parental mediation model and proposes a theoretical modification of digital parenting. Practical implications include the need for parental AI literacy modules and child technology design that fosters active family involvement. These findings underscore the shift in digital parenting from mere technical control toward reflective guidance grounded in AI literacy. Keywords: artificial intelligence, digital parenting, early childhood
