Abstract

This study aims to analyse teacher competence in the learning process at Sambinoe Kindergarten, Aceh Jaya District. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews with three teachers as the main informants. The results showed that teachers have four main competencies, namely pedagogical, professional, social, and personality competencies. However, the application of these competencies has not been fully optimized. Pedagogical competence can be seen from teachers' understanding of children's characteristics and fun learning designs, but the use of learning media and the preparation of lesson plans are still very minimal so that learning becomes less effective and less interesting. Teachers' professional competence is supported by participation in training and seminars, although self-development still relies heavily on individual motivation. Social competence is reflected in teachers' ability to communicate with students, parents and the community, and to introduce local cultural values. Personality competence is reflected in teachers' efforts to be role models and maintain ethics. Overall, teachers' competencies, especially in lesson planning, media innovation and self-development, are improving.

Abstract

Fine motor skills are activities that involve small muscles in certain parts of the body and require careful coordination, although they do not require much energy. One activity that can stimulate children's fine motor development is paper quilling or the art of rolling paper. This activity is done by rolling pieces of paper using fingers or special tools, then forming rolls that are glued together so that they do not come apart easily. This Classroom Action Research was conducted at RA Al Ashriyah, located on Jalan Cut Nyak Dhien, Gampong Jawa, Langsa Kota, Langsa. The study aimed to improve children’s fine motor skills through paper quilling activities. Data collection techniques included observation of children's ability to imitate shapes, accurately paste paper forms, and cut along guided lines. A qualitative approach was used for data analysis. The findings showed that paper quilling activities were effective in improving children's fine motor development. Before the action, the percentage of indicator achievement was only 30.7%, increasing to 66.7% in cycle I, and reaching 91.7% after cycle II.

Abstract

Early childhood is a pivotal stage in the developmental process, including cognitive and social development. At this stage, their high curiosity encourages them to start interacting with their peers. This interaction plays a pivotal role in helping children understand their environment while developing their thinking skills, especially in problem solving. This study aims to determine the effect of interaction with peers on children's thinking in problem solving. The study uses a qualitative method with an observational approach, observing children's behaviour when playing alone and with peers. The focus of observation includes how children play, interact, and respond to problems. The results of the study show significant differences between children who actively interact with peers and those who interact less. Children who frequently interact tend to understand mistakes more quickly and are able to solve problems appropriately. Conversely, children who rarely interact show difficulty in understanding mistakes and solving problems in ways that are less in line with the teacher's instructions.

Abstract

The teaching of English For Young Learners (TEYL) in Indonesia has become increasingly prominent in response to globalization and the growing need for English proficiency in academic and professional spheres. Despite this rising demand, the implementation of English education at the early childhood and primary school level encounters significant challenges. These include inconsistent educational policies, a lack of adequately trained teachers, and insufficient teaching and learning resources. This study investigates the current landscape of English language education for young learners in Indonesia by examining national education policies and classroom practices. The research identifies key issues such as the incongruent of a standardized curriculum, minimal pre-service and in-service teacher training specific to TEYL, and disparities in access to quality English instructions and materials between urban and rural schools. Therefore, this current study proposes a strategic roadmap aimed at enhancing the quality and effectiveness of TEYL in Indonesia. These include policy reforms, targeted teacher development programs, curriculum enhancements, and improved resource allocation. The findings are intended to inform policymakers, educational institutions, and practitioners in developing a sustainable roadmap for TEYL in Indonesia.

Abstract

Despite growing recognition of early childhood education’s (ECE) importance, rural communities in post-conflict settings often lack access to quality ECE services. This study examines how Islamic educational philosophy inspired and sustained a community-driven ECE initiative in rural North Aceh, Indonesia, following decades of conflict and natural disaster. This research investigated the sources of inspiration that motivated a rural Muslim community to establish and operate a community-based early childhood education centre, with particular focus on how religious values catalysed collective action for educational development. An ethnographic case study approach was employed in Gampong Blang, North Aceh, involving observations, interviews, and document analysis with 27 participants including community members, village stakeholders, and educators. Data were analysed through Al-Attas’ concepts of ta’dib (ethical education) and adab (proper conduct reflecting social consciousness). The Islamic principle “seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave” served as a powerful catalyst for community mobilisation, inspiring villagers to transform their traditional meunasah (Islamic community centre) into a modern ECE facility. Al-Attas’ educational philosophy, emphasising the balance between ilmu (knowledge) and adab (moral character), resonated with local aspirations for holistic child development. The community successfully integrated religious values with contemporary educational practices, creating culturally responsive pedagogy that honoured both Islamic teachings and local traditions. This study demonstrates how religious educational philosophy can effectively motivate grassroots educational initiatives in Muslim communities. The findings suggest that ECE development in Islamic contexts benefits from approaches that integrate spiritual and academic learning, challenging purely secular early childhood education models. The research offers insights for developing culturally responsive ECE programs that respect local values while meeting contemporary educational standards.

Abstract

This study explores how gadgets can enhance Arabic learning through a fun-based learning approach at TK Az-Zalfa Mandailing Natal. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and the school principal, and documentation of classroom activities, involving three teachers, one principal, and nine children aged 5–6 years. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, thematic categorization, and triangulation. The findings showed that the utilization of gadgets has been effectively integrated into learning sessions using applications such as Marbel Bahasa Arab, Memrise, and YouTube Kids, which supported vocabulary acquisition, listening practice, and verbal participation while fostering contextualized and enjoyable learning experiences. Other results also showed high attention focus (M = 4.2), fairly high verbal participation (M = 3.8), very high play enthusiasm (M= 4.6), and moderate independence in gadget use (M = 3.5). This study contributes to the literature on foreign language learning in early childhood by emphasizing the potential of fun-based digital strategies in Islamic education, highlighting the critical role of teachers as facilitators in balancing technology use with developmental needs, and providing practical implications for educators and curriculum developers in designing innovative, adaptive, and inclusive Arabic learning models.

Abstract

This study aims to describe implementation of teaching strategies by teachers in introducing the concepts of colors and shapes at RA (Raudhatul Athfal) Ibnu Rusyid, Bandung Regency. The research highlights the importance of early childhood education as a golden period of child development, where appropriate stimulation significantly influences cognitive, song, motor, and character development. Teachers as the main facilitators in early childhood education institutions are required to be able to apply learning strategies that are effective, fun and in accordance with the characteristics of children, especially in introducing basic concepts such as colors and shapes. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method with teachers at RA Ibnu Rushid as the subject. Data were collected through observations and interviews. The results indicate that the teachers applied various learning strategies, including expository, contextual, and problem-based approaches. Teachers provide concrete learning media such as color cards, blocks, and everyday objects to facilitate children's understanding of color and shape concepts. Additionally, learning activities involve playing, singing, and hard-on practice that actively engage children in the learning process. The conclusion of this study is that effective teaching strategies combined with appropriate media use are highly effective in introducing color and shape concepts to early childhood learners. This research contributes to the development of early childhood education learning strategies and serves as a reference for educators in designing enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences for children.

Abstract

The use of rewards as a motivational strategy has long been applied in education, but its effectiveness and impact on children's intrinsic motivation are still crucial debates. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the meaning of rewards in increasing early childhood learning motivation in Islamic Kindergartens, and to understand its implications for educational practices Initial observations at TK Anak Islam indicate the existence of diverse reward-giving practices, but an in-depth understanding of children's perceptions and the effectiveness of rewards in triggering sustainable motivation is still limited. The method used in this study was qualitative-descriptive, with the aim of understanding how rewards are interpreted and how they influence learning motivation in early childhood. The study was conducted at TK Anak Islam, which implements a reward-based learning system to increase learning motivation in early childhood. The results of the study identified four main types of rewards: material (stickers, stationery), social (verbal praise, applause), activity/privilege (opportunity to choose, additional playtime), and symbolic (achievement cards, star boards). Verbal praise is the form most often used and considered effective by teachers.Research recommendations emphasize the importance of reward variation, consistency, timely delivery, and a focus on the child's effort process in reward-giving strategies.
