Abstract

The lack of a comfortable playing space and freedom to explore hinders children's creativity, thus, it is crucial to have the proper learning media to support creativity development in early childhood. This study aims to enhance early childhood creativity through the implementation of loose parts learning media at Muslimat NU Matesih Playgroup. Loose parts are open-ended materials that can be arranged, assembled, combined, or separated freely and flexibly according to the child's imagination. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted collaboratively between the researcher and classroom teachers over several learning cycles. The results indicate that the use of loose parts, such as leaves, twigs, stones, and other natural materials, strongly stimulates children's imagination and expression. A joyful and participative learning atmosphere further supports the development of creativity, as reflected in children's ability to create unique and original works. By providing opportunities for free exploration and using easily accessible materials, children are trained from an early age to think creatively, independently, and innovatively.

Abstract

Language development is an important aspect of early childhood education because it serves as a basis for communicating, thinking, and expressing oneself. However, not all children achieve optimal language development, some children experience language delays that can affect social, emotional, and academic abilities in the future. This study aims to describe the role of teachers in stimulating early childhood language development with language disorders in Bintang Kreasi early childhood education center. The research approach used is qualitative with a case study method. The data collection techniques in this study included observation, interviews, and documentation of classroom teachers and three children who showed symptoms of speech delay. The results of the study show that early childhood education center teachers in Bintang Kreasi have an important role as facilitators, language models, and emotional assistance for children with language disorders. The stimulation strategies carried out include interactive storytelling activities, singing, role-playing, and the use of media adapted to children's abilities. In addition, Bintang Kreasi early childhood education center teachers also apply a personal approach and gradual communication to foster children's confidence in speaking. In addition, collaboration between teachers, parents, and therapists is key in maintaining the consistency of stimulation at school and at home.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of gender-responsive learning in Islamic Early Childhood Education institutions in the 5.0 era. The focus of the study is directed at how Islamic values ​​​​that uphold justice ('adl), compassion (rahmah), and equality (musawah) are applied in learning practices that pay attention to the balance of the roles of boys and girls. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study design in three Islamic Early Childhood Education institutions. Data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with teachers. Data analysis was conducted thematically with the stages of reduction, categorization, and interpretation of meaning based on the Braun and Clarke’s model. The results show that most Islamic Early Childhood Education institutions have attempted to integrate gender equality values ​​​​into learning activities through fair role distribution, selection of media without gender bias, and the development of an inclusive Islamic character-based curriculum. However, subtle biases are still found in teachers' attitudes and language that reflect traditional perceptions of gender roles. In addition, the 5.0 era brings new challenges in the form of biased gender representation in Islamic digital content used in learning. Teachers need to have critical digital literacy to select teaching materials that are in line with Islamic principles and values ​​of equality.

Abstract

Storytelling has been recognized as an effective method for early childhood learning, particularly in developing language skills and instilling moral and religious values. However, the extent to which storytelling infused with Islamic values differs from conventional storytelling in shaping early childhood outcomes remains underexplored. The purpose of this research is to critically examine the effectiveness of Islamic storytelling compared to conventional storytelling in influencing early childhood language abilities and inducing foundational religious comprehension. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 60 children aged 5–6 years from two kindergartens. The experimental group received Islamic storytelling interventions over eight sessions, while the control group engaged in conventional storytelling. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments measuring receptive and expressive language skills, as well as basic understanding of Islamic values. Data analysis techniques included paired sample t-tests and independent sample t-tests to compare mean score differences within and between groups. The results indicate that while both groups showed improvement, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher gains in both language development and religious understanding compared to the control group. These findings suggest that Islamic storytelling offers distinct advantages beyond those of conventional storytelling, particularly in integrating cognitive-linguistic growth with spiritual formation. This study contributes a critical perspective on the added value of value-based storytelling in early childhood education and offers practical implications for educators seeking to optimize learning media that align with both developmental and religious goals.

Abstract

Digital transformation in early childhood education (PAUD) institutions demands innovative public relations management that can strengthen communication and collaboration between schools and parents. A problem frequently identified in previous studies is the low intensity of communication, largely due to parents' limited time. This study aims to design the concept of Digital Monitoring Synergy as an innovation in early childhood education institutions public relations management by integrating parent communities into the academic information system (SIAKAD). This study employs a qualitative approach using a conceptual modelling method based on literature review. Data were obtained from journal articles, books, and relevant scientific documents. The data were analysed through the stages of problem identification, extraction of user needs based on previous research findings, and synthesis of these  needs into system feature designs. The results of the study produced a conceptual model of Digital Monitoring Synergy consisting of several key features: daily child reports, activity galleries, public relations announcements, parent response columns, parent communities, service partners, and security alarms.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine how project-based learning can be applied to enhance intrapersonal intelligence among children in the Kindergarten Talitakum. The approach utilized is classroom action research, following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which involves a cycle consisting of four key components: planning, action, observation, and reflection or evaluation. The students in Kindergarten B class were 18 children. The study's findings indicated that during the observation process in cycles 1 face-to-face 1 and 2, the data showed that only 31.25% of the children, which is 6 out of 18, exhibited an active response in face-to-face 1. The results from cycle 1 face-to-face session 2 showed that 59.38%, which is 11 out of 18 children, achieved the outcome. In cycle 2, when children were grouped for the implementation of Project Based Learning, the data showed that 84.37% of the children, which is 15 out of 18, were actively participating in class. Additionally, 15.63% of the children, or 3 out of 18, were quite active during the sessions. Thus, the use of project-based learning can enhance children's intrapersonal intelligence when it is integrated into group learning activities.
