Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of project-based farming gardening activities on collaboration and critical thinking skills of children aged 5ÔÇô6 years. The activity engages children in planning, planting, caring for, and harvesting plants for four weeks through a collaborative project that emphasizes joint decision-making, problem-solving, and individual and group responsibility. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was applied to 30 children from two kindergartens in Maduran District, Lamongan Regency, purposively divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through validated and reliable observation instruments, and analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in collaboration skills (t = 3.688, p = 0.00) and critical thinking skills (t = 2.369, p = 0.02) in the experimental group. These findings indicate that project-based farming gardening activities are effective in developing collaboration and critical thinking skills in early childhood and support the strengthening of 21st-century skills in early childhood education.┬á┬á

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum aims to promote differentiated learning practices in line with the diverse backgrounds of students in Indonesia. However, its implementation at the secondary school level still faces various challenges. This study aims to analyze the strategies and barriers encountered in the implementation of this curriculum. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with curriculum managers, supported by direct observation in the learning environment. Data analysis was conducted thematically, following the procedures of Braun and Clarke. The results revealed three main findings: the limited competencies of teachers in applying differentiated learning principles, disparities in access to digital learning resources, and low student involvement in the design of learning activities, which collectively hinder the effectiveness of the curriculum. These findings indicate that national curriculum reform cannot solely rely on policy design but requires strengthening context-based capacities at the educational unit level to realize the full potential of curriculum transformation effectively.

Abstract

Character education is designed to counteract the low moral ethics and weak character of students. In its implementation, continuous improvement and development are necessary. This study aims to compare the enhancement of character education in Islamic schools in Indonesia, with the sample of MI Muhammadiyah 5 Surabaya and in Thailand, with the sample of Phatnawitya School Yala. These two schools represent different yet complementary approaches in integrating character values into their respective education systems. This study adopts a qualitative method with a multi-case study design. The data is analysed with in-depth individual case analysis to understand the specific context of each school. Then, a constant comparative method is carried out to compare the results of each case to find the main patterns, differences, and themes. This study uses Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory as a theoretical framework, which views the development of individuals as influenced by the interaction between individuals and the various layers of the social environment that exist around them. The results of the study show that strengthening character education not only emphasizes cognitive aspects, but also integrates affective and psychomotor aspects harmoniously. At MI Muhammadiyah 5, character education focuses on Islamic values through habituation, character-based learning, and teacher role example. Meanwhile, Phatnawitya School Yala emphasises a religious attitude, empathy, and discipline in Islamic lessons, academic lessons, and the development of students' specialist skills. Despite being in different educational contexts, both schools managed to develop character education models that were relevant to their respective cultures and systems.

Abstract

Sexual violence against young children in Indonesia continues to rise, underscoring the need for early preventive education through age-appropriate learning media. This study aimed to develop an interactive snakes and ladders-based medium to introduce basic sex education concepts to children aged 5ÔÇô6. Using the ADDIE development model, the research focused on expert validation stages. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and expert validation questionnaires, then analyzed descriptively. The medium achieved a 92% validity score from content experts and 84% from media experts, indicating high feasibility and relevance for early childhood sex education. Such tools may enhance the quality of early intervention programs and foster safer learning environments for young children.┬á

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation and success of nutrition education programs in a kindergarten. The research utilized a qualitative approach through structured interviews with teachers and parents. Data were analyzed using data reduction techniques to identify key patterns and themes. The findings revealed that the nutrition program successfully improved childrenÔÇÖs eating habits, such as increased preference for healthy foods and reduced consumption of unhealthy snacks. Teachers employed interactive methods like storytelling and games, while parents supported the program by providing healthy meals at home. Challenges included children's preference for unhealthy snacks and parents' limited time. The study recommends developing more comprehensive programs, including parent training and the provision of engaging educational materials.┬á┬á┬á

Abstract

Early childhood (ages 0ÔÇô6) represents a critical period for multidimensional development that significantly influences long-term quality of life. This study aims to examine the role of nutritional intake in supporting physical and motor development in early childhood, particularly fine and gross motor skills. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating both quantitative and qualitative data. The participants consisted of 30 children aged 3ÔÇô5 years from Al-Ikhsan Islamic Kindergarten and Playgroup in Sidoarjo, Indonesia. The findings revealed that a balanced nutritional intakeÔÇöespecially diets rich in vegetables, fruits, and proteinsÔÇöhad a significant positive correlation with the childrenÔÇÖs physical and motor development. These results highlight the critical role of appropriate nutritional interventions during early life stages as a foundation for optimal motor development. The study implies the necessity of strengthening nutrition education for parents and early childhood education institutions as part of a holistic strategy to support childrenÔÇÖs growth and development.┬á

Abstract

Motor skill development in early childhood is a vital aspect of supporting holistic child growth. This study aims to develop a music-accompanied gymnastics model designed to enhance motor skills in early childhood. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases. The results show that gymnastics accompanied by music is effective in improving children's motor skills, such as agility, coordination, imaginative thinking speed, rhythmic counting ability, as well as increasing motivation and participation in physical activities. Educators responded positively to the use of rhythmic music enhanced with percussion instruments such as castanets. These findings suggest that music-accompanied gymnastics can serve as an engaging and effective instructional strategy to support optimal motor development in early childhood
