Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential skills that need to be developed from an early age to face the challenges of the 21st century. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the scientific approach in improving the critical thinking skills of children aged 5-6 years through a systematic literature review. Data were collected from ten selected scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025 and analyzed based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study results show that the scientific approach significantly improves children's critical thinking skills, especially in the aspects of observing, questioning, reasoning, problem solving and concluding. This approach is effectively applied in various learning contexts, including conventional learning as well as those that integrate technology and innovative methods such as mind mapping, makerspace and problem-based learning. Successful implementation is strongly influenced by teacher competence, learning environment support, and parental involvement. However, challenges such as limited teacher understanding, lack of resources and low parental participation are still obstacles. Although its short-term effectiveness has been proven, longitudinal research is needed to assess its long-term impact on children's cognitive development. Thus, the scientific approach is recommended as the main learning strategy in early childhood education to optimally build the foundation of critical thinking.

Abstract

Humans will experience stages in their lives, as explained in the Qur’an. At each stage/level of life, they require stimulation and educational processes that are expected to develop the basic potential they have had since birth. Humans are born with diverse potentials, and in this regard, the educational process plays a very important role in developing those potentials. The role of parents and educators is crucial in shaping a child to become who they are, how their character develops, and in determining their future. The researcher chose library research as the method in this study, so the data sources used are books and journals that discuss the potential children bring from birth and the process of developing that potential

Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of a planned management strategy in kindergarten education, resulting in suboptimal educational output. Given that infrastructure management is crucial for improving the quality of early childhood education services, including institutional output, the author chose field research, employing a descriptive qualitative approach, at Nurul Fatah Kindergarten, Kalibaru, Banyuwangi. Data collection involved interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that: Infrastructure management at Nurul Fatah Kindergarten is optimally managed. This includes procurement, utilization, and maintenance, which ensures proper care and maintenance of the infrastructure, resulting in the institution's expected quality output

Abstract

Problem-solving ability is an essential aspect of early childhood cognitive development, as it shapes logical, critical, and creative thinking from an early age. However, many early childhood learning practices still focus on rote activities that do not sufficiently stimulate higher-order thinking skills. This study aims to analyze the effect of digital learning media on improving problem-solving abilities among early childhood students. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest model involving 32 children in group B at an early childhood education institution in Situbondo. Data were collected through observation sheets assessing children’s problem-solving abilities and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results indicate a positive and significant influence between the use of digital media and children’s problem-solving ability (r = 0.61; p < 0.05) with the regression equation Y = 14.86 + 0.40X. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.37 shows that 37% of the variation in problem-solving ability is explained by the use of digital media. These findings confirm that digital media is effective as an interactive and engaging learning tool that enhances critical thinking and problem-solving skills in early childhood education.

Abstract

Please Early childhood learners possess diverse characteristics in terms of interests, learning styles, and developmental readiness. However, instructional practices in many early childhood education settings often remain uniform, limiting opportunities for children to engage in activities aligned with their individual needs. This study explores the implementation of differentiated instruction through choice-making as a strategy to enhance children’s engagement and reduce disruptive behaviors in early learning settings. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study was conducted at TK PKK I Bangilan Tuban with one teacher, 15 children aged 4–5 years, the school principal, and three parents as participants. Data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model with triangulation to ensure validity. Findings indicate that differentiated instruction was carried out in three stages: preparation (diagnostic assessment of readiness, interests, and learning styles), implementation (differentiated content, process, and product), and evaluation-reflection. The results show that choice-making strategies significantly increased children’s active participation, focus, and enthusiasm during learning activities, while also reducing instances of tantrums and passive behavior. Children demonstrated greater autonomy, motivation, and positive emotional regulation when provided with meaningful options. This study concludes that differentiated instruction integrated with choice-making not only supports cognitive, social, and emotional development, but also fosters an inclusive, engaging, and equitable learning environment. The findings have theoretical implications for enriching the literature on differentiated instruction and practical implications for PAUD teachers in designing flexible, child-centered learning strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of Market Day as a learning activity to introduce entrepreneurship to young children through the use of matcha products as an instructional medium. This research employed a literature review method by analyzing journals, books, and curriculum documents related to early childhood entrepreneurship education. The findings indicate that Market Day provides direct learning experiences that help children understand simple buying and selling processes, recognize basic value exchange, and develop social, communication, creative, and fine motor skills. The use of matcha as learning material supports the activity because it is easy to process, visually appealing, and safe, which increases children’s engagement during the learning process. The review also highlights the essential role of teachers as facilitators in ensuring that the learning environment remains structured, secure, and enjoyable. Overall, matcha-based Market Day activities serve as a thematic strategy that is relevant for cultivating entrepreneurial values while integrating multiple developmental domains in early childhood education. The study emphasizes that experience-based learning can be an effective approach to fostering entrepreneurial interest and character from an early age.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (PAUD) is the most crucial stage for child development, because at an early age the basic foundations that are very important for cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development are built. Therefore, the management of the learning environment in PAUD has a very crucial role in supporting the learning process and development of children so that children's learning psychology is very effective. In writing this article, the research used a qualitative research method with a library research approach or literature study. The data collection process was carried out through libraries or books, articles, documents related to PAUD learning environment management. Data obtained from data sources were then reduced, presented to obtain conclusions relevant to PAUD learning environment management. The results of the study show that: PAUD learning environment management greatly influences the effectiveness of children's learning psychology. Learning environment management has an impact on children's learning psychology in accordance with Piaget's Constructivism theory and Vygotsky's Sociocultural theory. Where this theory states that children learn through interactions with their environment, in order to adapt the way early childhood learning and can develop child development. This will foster an optimal learning psychology.
