Abstract

Early childhood is considered a golden age period in which brain development is highly influenced by environmental stimulation, including play activities. Fathers’ involvement in play can support children’s cognitive, socio-emotional, language, and motor development. This study aimed to examine the relationship between fathers’ involvement in play activities and the development of brain function in children aged 3–5 years from a neuroscience perspective. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design involving 30 fathers who had children aged 3–5 years in Tasikmalaya and surrounding areas. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, linearity tests, and Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between fathers’ involvement in play activities and children’s brain function development (r = 0.412; p = 0.033 < 0.05), with a moderate correlation category. These findings indicate that fathers’ involvement in play contributes to children’s brain function development, although other factors such as mothers’ roles, nutrition, and educational environment also influence children’s development

Abstract

Early childhood verbal abilities are significantly influenced by stimulation provided in the family environment, one of which is through role-playing activities. This study aims to describe the role of the family in role-playing activities as a stimulation of verbal abilities in children aged 5–6 years, and to identify its impact on children's cognitive development based on differences in the intensity of parental involvement. The method used was a qualitative case study design. The research subjects consisted of two children aged 5–6 years who were selected purposively with a maximum variation strategy: one child with active family involvement in role-playing (FZ) and one child with less active family involvement (FT). Data collection was carried out through direct observation, in-depth semi-structured interviews with parents and teachers, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model with source triangulation techniques. The results showed that children with active family involvement in role- playing showed more developed verbal abilities, high learning initiative, and more optimal cognitive development. Conversely, children with less active family involvement tended to be verbally passive, less independent, and showed more limited cognitive development due to the dominance of unsupervised gadget use. This study confirms that active family involvement in role-playing activities plays an important role in stimulating children's verbal and cognitive growth and development

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the adaptation process of teachers in dealing with the administrative requirements of the Merdeka Curriculum at TK Budi Mulia, Jambi City. The study focuses on teachers’ adjustment to changes in learning administration, challenges encountered during curriculum implementation, and forms of school support in assisting teachers with administrative tasks. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. The participants consisted of the principal and teachers directly involved in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that teachers adapted to administrative changes through self-learning, discussions with colleagues, and guidance from school supervisors. The main challenge faced by teachers was not classroom instruction but the increasing administrative workload, including the preparation of teaching modules, child development assessments, portfolios, and narrative reports. Support from the principal, teamwork, and the use of supplementary learning materials helped teachers manage these administrative demands. Therefore, the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum at TK Budi Mulia is influenced by teachers’ adaptability and support from the school environment

Abstract

Many children aged 5–6 struggle to distinguish between good and bad behavior due to unappealing conventional learning methods. This study aims to determine the effect of the Happy Jump Challenge game on the ability to differentiate these behaviors among early childhood students at PAUD Nurul Ikhlas, Bandung. The Happy Jump Challenge is an educational, physical-manipulative game using picture cards and a response board to help children categorize moral behaviors enjoyably. This quantitative study employed a one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design with 16 children aged 5–6 years selected through total sampling. Data were collected via structured observations using an 8-item instrument on a 1–4 developmental scale (BB, MB, BSH, BSB). The tool was validated using Pearson Product Moment (r = 0,755-0,894) and Cronbach’s Alpha 0,89. Data analysis involved Chi-Square (normality), F-test (homogeneity), and a Paired Sample t-test. The results showed that both datasets were normally distributed and homogeneous. The mean score increased significantly by 10.31 points, from the pre-test (x̄ = 20,19) to the post-test (x̄ = 30,50). The Paired Sample t-test yielded a calculated t-value (20,122) > t-tabel (2,947) at α = 0,01, rejecting H0. Ultimately, all 16 children achieved the highest developmental category on the post-test. These findings demonstrate that the Happy Jump Challenge significantly improves children's ability to distinguish between good and bad behavior, making it a highly recommended innovative tool for early childhood moral education

Abstract

Pre-reading ability is one of the basic skills that need to be developed from an early age as a provision for children to enter the next level of education. Based on the results of initial observations at Permata Hati Aisyiyah Kindergarten, the pre-reading ability of children aged 5-6 years still needs to be improved, especially in recognizing symbols and sound letters, reading simple words, and connecting letters with their sounds. This study aims to improve the pre-reading ability of children aged 5-6 years through the use of Ropaba media (Letter Wheel and Reading Board). This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method of the Kemmis and McTaggart model which is carried out in two cycles, including the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 19 children in group B2. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation and documentation, while data analysis used quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques. The results of the study showed that the use of Ropaba media can improve children's pre-reading ability. In Cycle I, the percentage of children's pre-reading ability reached 64.21% with a sufficient category, then increased to 88.95% in Cycle II with a very good category. These improvements demonstrate that Ropaba media can create a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment, enabling children to engage more actively in learning activities. Therefore, Ropaba media can be used as an alternative learning medium to improve pre-reading skills in early childhood

Abstract

Character education is an essential aspect of early childhood development, particularly in fostering integrity, which includes honesty, responsibility, discipline, commitment, and consistency between words and actions. As the child's first educational environment, the family plays a strategic role in cultivating integrity values through well-planned and sustainable parenting programs. Therefore, evaluating parenting programs is necessary to determine their effectiveness and provide a basis for continuous program improvement. This study aims to analyze the evaluation of parenting programs in strengthening children's integrity character at home through a literature review approach. The study employed a qualitative design by examining scientific journal articles, academic books, policy documents, and previous research related to parenting, character education, integrity, program evaluation, and early childhood education. Data were analyzed using content analysis involving identification, classification, interpretation, and synthesis of findings from the reviewed literature. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of parenting programs is influenced by the alignment of program objectives with family needs, parents' readiness as primary educators, consistency in implementing character-building habits at home, and continuous evaluation of children's behavioral development. Sustainable parenting programs enhance parental involvement in character education, strengthen the habituation of integrity values in daily life, and promote effective collaboration between families and educational institutions. Furthermore, program evaluation provides comprehensive information regarding the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges of parenting implementation, serving as a foundation for continuous improvement. Therefore, evaluating parenting programs is an effective strategy for strengthening integrity character in early childhood within the family environment

Abstract

Corruption is one of the major challenges affecting social, economic, and national development, making preventive efforts through character education essential from early childhood. Instilling anti-corruption values is not solely the responsibility of educational institutions but also requires active involvement from families and communities as primary environments for children's character development. This study aims to analyze strategies for internalizing anti-corruption values from an early age through a literature review and to identify factors that support their effective implementation. The research employed a qualitative approach using the literature review method. Data were collected from academic books, national and international journal articles, policy documents, and previous studies related to character education, anti-corruption education, early childhood education, and parental involvement. Data were analyzed using content analysis by identifying, comparing, and synthesizing findings from relevant literature. The results indicate that the internalization of anti-corruption values can be effectively implemented through role modeling, habituation, integration of anti-corruption values into learning activities, educational games, storytelling, positive reinforcement, and sustainable collaboration among families, schools, and communities. The core values promoted include honesty, responsibility, discipline, caring, hard work, courage, simplicity, and justice. The success of value internalization is influenced by the consistency of value implementation in daily life, teacher competence, parental involvement, and a supportive educational environment. Therefore, strategies for internalizing anti-corruption values from an early age serve as an effective preventive approach to developing future generations with strong integrity and character

Abstract

The cultivation of honesty and responsibility in early childhood is a strategic foundation for building a generation of integrity and preventing corruption from an early age. Learning media and the family role are two interconnected pillars that determine the success of character formation. However, low parental literacy, limited use of innovative learning media, and lack of synergy between schools and families often hinder the optimal internalization of these values. This study aims to analyze the use of learning media and the family role in instilling honesty and responsibility in early childhood. Using a literature review approach, this research examines various scientific sources related to learning media, family roles, and early childhood character education. The findings reveal that various learning media, including picture storybooks and audio-visual media, effectively convey moral values through concrete stories and visuals that resonate with children's world. The family plays a central role as the primary environment shaping children's character through parenting styles, role modeling, and habituation. Synergistic collaboration between the use of appropriate learning media at school and positive parenting at home creates a conducive environment for optimal internalization of honest and responsible character. Strengthening parental literacy and developing innovative learning media are key strategies to ensure children grow with a strong foundation of integrity from an early age
