Abstract

The comparative analysis of children's social skills between Indonesia and other countries remains limited due to the scarcity of standardized tools in different countries. This study evaluates the association of cross-country differences, age, and gender with children's social skills in Indonesian and Japanese by using the exact measurement: Social Skill Scale-24, which consists of 3 sub-scales (assertion, self-control, cooperation) and 24 items. The data was collected in Indonesia from nine kindergartens in B City, West Java. The Japanese data was obtained from the Child Cohort Study (CCC), collected in 2022. Finally, there were 1436 participants, with 1157 participants from Japan and 279 from Indonesia. Our findings indicate that country difference is significantly associated with children's social skills (p<0.05). Indonesian children demonstrated stronger cooperation skills, whereas Japanese children excelled in assertion, self-control, and the overall SSS score. In addition, children's age and gender were significantly associated with preschoolers' social skills in both samples. Furthermore, all items in SSS-24 achieved satisfactory CFA scores (>0.5), and the omega coefficients for the total scores above 0.9 in Indonesia and Japan imply this questionnaire is valid and reliable. These findings suggest that best practices from each country can be adapted to local cultural contexts to improve children's social skills.

Abstract

The Generation Alpha era marked by the dominance of digital technology has had a significant impact on the socio-emotional development of early childhood. Excessive exposure to technology often reduces children's direct social interactions, thus inhibiting their ability to develop social and emotional skills. This study aims to explore the concept of Kampung Dolanan as an alternative to revitalize positive behavior in early childhood through traditional games. Using a qualitative approach and case study design, the study was conducted in Metro City, Lampung. Data were obtained through participatory observation, interviews with parents, educators, and facilitators, and document analysis. The results of the study indicate that Kampung Dolanan is able to support children's socio-emotional development by improving cooperation skills, empathy, emotional management, and self-confidence. Traditional games that are implemented in a structured manner not only preserve local culture but also provide space for children to learn social values in a supportive environment. The active role of parents, educators, the community, and local government is very important in the successful implementation of the Kampung Dolanan concept. This study recommends Kampung Dolanan as an innovative socio-emotional development model to support the growth and development of early childhood in the digital era.

Abstract

SEMAGI is a breakfast habituation program given to early childhood as an effort to provide children with an understanding of the importance of breakfast in the morning to improve concentration in learning at school. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the SEMAGI program habituation on learning concentration in early childhood at SPS Kamboja 4 School, Sukowono District, Jember Regency. This study used a pre-experimental research approach with one group pretest-posttest design. Data analysis used in this study used t-test analysis to determine the impact of breakfast habituation on learning concentration in early childhood as seen from the significance of the difference in learning concentration before and after being given the SEMAGI program. The pre-test results showed that out of 25 samples, 16 (64.0%) respondents had poor learning concentration and 9 (36.0%) respondents had good learning concentration, while in the post-test, 7 children (28%) still had poor learning concentration, while 18 children (72%) had good concentration. The results of the t-test analysis showed a significant difference in learning concentration before and after the SEMAGI program with a t value of 2.736 and a p value of 0.012. These results show a significant number because the p value <significance level (α) = 5% (0.05). Based on these results, it can be said that the SEMAGI program has a positive impact on learning concentration in early childhood at SPS Kamboja 4 School, Sukowono District, Jember Regency.

Abstract

The widespread use of WhatsApp in parenting learning processes today is a highly intriguing phenomenon. Parents learn a great deal from social media and chat applications about parenting techniques. Ideally, this should help improve the quality of parenting in the digital era, though there are also challenges and drawbacks. Based on this background, the purpose of this study is to examine mobile learning-based parenting education in terms of program meaningfulness and parenting quality. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach, involving 55 participants. Data were collected through a questionnaire created using Google Forms. The findings reveal that the accumulation of messages in WhatsApp groups reduces participant engagement; however, it also improves relationships with their spouses and children at home. The parenting quality of participants was categorized as "very high," while their participation level was categorized as "high." Partially, participation has an influence of 25.6%, while the simultaneous influence of participation and program meaningfulness on parenting quality is 28%. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital-era parenting by providing empirical evidence of the effectiveness of mobile learning-based programs in enhancing parenting quality. It highlights both the opportunities and limitations of using WhatsApp as a platform for parenting education, offering insights for future program development and implementation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine teachers' perceptions of using the Quiz Maker application in the assessment of early childhood learning. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method, with data collected through online questionnaires distributed to 52 kindergarten teachers in West Sumatra Province. The findings reveal that most teachers perceive Quiz Maker as a tool that simplifies and accelerates the assessment process, enhances evaluation effectiveness, and aids in understanding children’s development and thinking patterns. The application is also seen as supportive in improving teachers’ professionalism by enabling more accurate and efficient assessment practices. However, some teachers reported challenges related to technical understanding and the need for stable internet access. Concerns were also raised regarding the potential impact on children's social and emotional development if the application is not used in a balanced pedagogical approach. Despite these concerns, the majority of respondents still consider Quiz Maker a promising digital tool for early childhood education assessment, provided that its implementation is supported by adequate training and thoughtful integration into the learning process. This study contributes to the development of adaptive and child-friendly technology-based assessment practices in early childhood education.
