Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study explores the use of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL) in the development of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) for early childhood at PAUD Diantara Putro Melati Kasihan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Data were collected through learning observations utilizing educational applications, animated videos, and interactive stories; in-depth interviews with the principal, PAI teachers, and parents; and documentation of technology-based policies and materials. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model (data reduction, narrative presentation, triangulation verification) to produce a comprehensive picture. The results showed that digital media—animated stories of the prophets and interactive applications—increased interest, understanding of Islamic values, and social interaction via Google Classroom and Zoom. Regular exposure to technology-based religious content also strengthened positive characters such as politeness and helping each other. However, limited devices, uneven internet access, and the potential for gadget addiction require close collaboration between schools and parents so that the use of technology is balanced and supports future PAI goals. The implementation of TEL has proven effective in developing PAI for early childhood.

Abstract

This article aims to determine the character of the child in each development according to the maturity age and parenting style. Childhood is the richest period. This period should be utilized by educators as well as possible. This writing is done through literature study. The data collection tool in this research is to search journals contained in several electronic media such as digital libraries, the internet, through books. The data analysis technique used in this research is annotated bibliography which means a simple conclusion from an article, book, journal, or some other source of writing. The results of this writing. Child development is influenced by the child's absorption of the environment and parenting style. Children absorb from the environment in which they live and at the same time absorb the behavior of their parents as their daily figures. Child development is also influenced by the child's absorption of the education they receive at each stage of development. With the provision of high absorption power, each child is able to create their world in living and facing the various problems of their respective lives. This absorption capacity will shape the character and personality of children so that later they have the principles, lifestyle, paradigm, and values that they adhere to. Thus, the future of a child rests on each of the absorbent powers which they have had from birth and which are cultivated in their own way through the tasks at each stage of their development.

Abstract

Acquisition of language is a very long process, starting from when the child does not know a language until it is fluent. Mastery of a language by a child begins with acquiring the first language which is often called the mother tongue.
