Abstract

Early childhood, especially at the age of 5-6 years, is at a very important developmental stage in the formation of character, personality, and religious values, so that Islamic religious education in the family is very crucial as the initial foundation of a child's life. However, the professional background of parents, such as plantation families, influences the pattern and intensity of the implementation of religious education at home due to time constraints due to high work activities. This study aims to describe the implementation of Islamic religious education in plantation families for early childhood at RA Nurul Muttaqin Penumangan Baru, Tulang Bawang Tengah District, West Tulang Bawang Regency in the 2025/2026 Academic Year. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a type of field research, with research subjects determined through a purposive sampling technique, namely plantation parents and children aged 5-6 years. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Islamic religious education in plantation families is carried out flexibly but meaningfully through the method of role models (uswah hasanah), habituation of worship, dialogue and value development, as well as simple supervision and evaluation, despite being limited by time and busy parents. In addition, a conducive home environment and support from schools and social environments also strengthen the internalization of Islamic values in children, as shown by indicators such as knowing religion, carrying out worship, understanding moral values, cultivating good manners, maintaining cleanliness, recognizing Islamic holidays, fostering an attitude of tolerance, and internalizing spiritual values. Thus, Islamic religious education in plantation families not only functions as a transfer of knowledge, but is also effective in shaping children's religious character as a whole from an early age.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the continued discovery of early childhood behavior that does not reflect commendable morals, such as the habit of speaking rudely and swearing, which indicates a lack of synchronicity between habits at school and parenting patterns at home. This study aims to describe the collaborative and participatory efforts of teachers and parents in developing children's morals through integrated communication methods at RA Nurul Huda Bandar Mataram. This field research with a descriptive qualitative approach involved the principal, class teachers, parents/guardians of students, and students. Data collection through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the inductive model of Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa. Data validity was tested by credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability. The results of the study indicate that efforts to develop children's morals are carried out effectively through integrated communication methods with collaborative dimensions (joint design of behavioral targets) and participatory (active involvement of parents as subjects). Teachers and parents optimize contact books, private WhatsApp messages, direct dialogue, and parenting programs, implementing role-modeling and habit-building strategies in a coordinated manner. This collaboration has been proven to reduce children's habit of using bad language and prevent confusion about values, as rules of good manners are consistently reinforced at school and at home.

Abstract

This study aims to describe teachers' efforts in implementing multicultural education to strengthen the values of honesty, tolerance, and peace in early childhood at RA Nurul Muttaqin. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with field research. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation with teachers, students, and parent representatives. The results show that the instillation of character values is carried out through consistent daily habits and integrated into learning activities. Teachers act as role models in displaying honest, tolerant, and peace-loving behavior, as well as creating a safe, inclusive, and conducive classroom environment. The value of honesty is formed through the habituation of responsibility and openness, tolerance is developed through group activities and social interactions, while peace-loving is instilled through persuasive conflict resolution and sociodrama activities. Play activities are the main medium for internalizing values because they provide enjoyable direct experiences for children. In addition, multicultural education strategies implemented through the introduction of cultural diversity and collaborative activities can foster mutual respect and strengthen a sense of togetherness. The research findings confirm that the success of early childhood character formation is greatly influenced by the consistency of habits, teacher role models, and an inclusive and harmonious learning environment. Thus, the application of multicultural education contextually is an effective approach in shaping children's social character from an early age.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low gross motor skills of children aged 5-6 years at PAUD KB Al Ikhlash Gaya Baru III Central Lampung which is caused by the lack of interesting and interactive learning media variations. The purpose of this study is to develop and determine the effectiveness of the traditional rainbow rope game as a medium for stimulating gross motor skills in early childhood. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the Borg and Gall model which is simplified into seven stages, namely potential and problems, data collection, product design, design validation, design revision, product trials, and product revisions. The research subjects consisted of media experts, material experts, and 16 children aged 5-6 years. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation, while data analysis was carried out qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that the traditional rainbow rope game was declared very feasible by media experts with an average score of 3.80 and feasible by material experts with an average score of 3.00. Furthermore, the trial results showed an improvement in children's gross motor skills, indicated by a decrease in the Not Yet Developed (BB) category and an increase in the Developing as Expected (BSH) and Very Well Developed (BSB) categories. Thus, the traditional rainbow rope game is an effective learning tool to stimulate gross motor skills in early childhood in a fun and interactive way.
