Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence, learning motivation, and discipline in early childhood at Ikhwanus Shafa Kindergarten.

The research sample consisted of 25 children aged 5-6 years enrolled in Ikhwanus Shafa Kindergarten, with data collection through observation, questionnaires, and structured interviews with teachers and parents. Data analysis was carried out using Pearson correlation statistical techniques to measure the relationship between the variables studied. The results showed that there is a significant positive relationship between emotional intelligence and learning motivation with children's discipline. High emotional intelligence in children contributes to increased learning motivation, which in turn supports the achievement of better discipline. These findings indicate the importance of developing emotional intelligence and learning motivation as determining factors in the formation of disciplinary behaviour in early childhood.

Abstract

Multicultural learning is one of the strategic approaches in supporting early childhood social development, especially in an environment rich in cultural diversity such as in RA Nurul Islam Singkawang. The need to integrate multicultural values in learning in early childhood education institutions is relevant because of the importance of building empathy, tolerance, and social skills from an early age. However, in-depth studies related to the application of innovative approaches based on multicultural education to the development of social attitudes and behavior of early childhood are still limited. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving teachers and principals as the main data sources, to identify the effect of the multicultural approach at RA Nurul Islam Singkawang. The results showed that this approach improved children's empathy and tolerance, encouraged more inclusive social interactions, and increased confidence in cross-cultural interactions. In addition, children also showed initiative in conflict resolution and mastery of social skills, such as understanding different perspectives and establishing harmonious relationships. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of integrating multicultural values in the early childhood education curriculum to support better character building and social skills.

Abstract

This study examines the relevance and application of John Dewey's educational philosophy in the context of early childhood education in the digital era. Dewey emphasized the importance of experiential learning (learning by doing) and social engagement as integral parts of an effective educational process. In facing the challenges and opportunities presented by technology, this study aims to explore how Dewey's principles can be applied to support the development of young children, particularly in using technology as a learning tool. The research uses a literature review method by analyzing various relevant sources on Dewey’s philosophy, early childhood education, and the integration of technology in education. The results indicate that technology can enrich children's learning experiences if used wisely, ensuring a balance between digital learning and direct exploration involving social interaction and physical activities. The role of teachers and parents in creating a balanced learning environment is crucial, where technology is used to support both individual and collaborative learning. The study also suggests that early childhood education curricula need to be adapted to be more responsive to technological developments and children's needs, integrating Dewey’s principles of direct experience and social involvement. Overall, this research contributes to the development of a more holistic and relevant educational curriculum in response to the challenges of the times, providing guidance for educators and parents in effectively using technology to support early childhood learning.

Abstract

This research uses a type of quantitative research with a quasi-experimental approach by using the 100 table media to improve math learning outcomes. This study used 100 learning table media to improve math learning outcomes. The quantitative approach used in this research is a type of quasi experiment. This study uses the table 100 media as the independent variable and student learning outcomes as the dependent variable. In this study, 20 students were used as samples. Observation, interview, test, survey, and documentation are the methods used to collect data. The steps of proposing hypotheses and testing normality are the data analysis procedures. The paired sample t test (t-test) resulted in Sig. (2-tailed) 0.02 in the experimental class, in accordance with the results of hypothesis testing. In contrast, the control class had a Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.01. The findings of the 2-tailed sig value can be compared with hypothesis testing if the sig (2-tailed) value is between 0.01 and 0.02. With the assumption that the 2-tailed sig value is greater than 0.05, the hypothesis is not rejected if it is less than 0.05. This shows that the math learning outcomes of grade II students of MI Ma'arif NU 6 Karyamukti are influenced by the table 100 media. The normality test shows that the Experiment class has a significance value of 0.018 and 0.088 before and after the test, while the Control class has a significance value of 0.200 and 0.135. If the p-value is less than 0.05, it can be concluded that the data follows a normal distribution.
