Abstract

This study aims to describe the influence of the role-play method on financial literacy among early childhood learners. The background of this research stems from the importance of introducing financial understanding at an early age so that children are able to recognize the value of money, distinguish between needs and wants, and learn simple saving practices. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with children as the subjects. Data were collected through observations, teacher interviews, and documentation of learning activities. The findings indicate that the implementation of role-play activities such as market day simulations, buying and selling games, and saving simulations can enhance children’s ability to understand the concept of money value, manage money in simple ways, and develop frugal and responsible attitudes. Thus, the role-play method positively influences early childhood financial literacy by providing enjoyable and contextual learning experiences.

Abstract

The research was driven by concerns that many young children in Indonesia still depend on adults for routine tasks, which may limit the development of essential self-help skills needed for successful adaptation to formal schooling. This study aims to examine the influence of democratic parenting styles on early childhood independence in facing challenges in the era of Society 5.0. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from parents who applied democratic parenting, using a 1–4 Likert-scale questionnaire. The Pearson correlation test showed a significance value of 0.031 < 0.05, indicating a positive and significant relationship between democratic parenting and early childhood independence. These findings suggest that democratic parenting can effectively enhance children’s confidence, responsibility, and autonomy, supporting their ability to adapt to the demands of Society 5.0.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has opened new opportunities in early childhood education, particularly in enhancing English language learning. This study aims to analyze the role of AI-based chatbots in increasing student engagement and learning outcomes in English for early childhood learners at RA Labschool IIQ Jakarta. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research integrates a quasi-experimental quantitative approach and descriptive qualitative techniques. Quantitative data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) and post-hoc Least Significant Difference (LSD) tests, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis and triangulation. The results revealed that the experimental group using AI chatbots demonstrated significantly higher engagement and English learning achievements compared to the control groups, with F(2,26) = 65.14, p = 0.021, ƞ² = 0.95. Furthermore, qualitative findings indicated increased student motivation, interest, and interaction during learning activities. This study concludes that AI chatbots significantly contribute to fostering cognitive, emotional, and behavioral engagement, thereby improving learning outcomes. The findings imply that integrating AI-based technologies within early childhood curricula can enhance personalized, interactive, and adaptive learning experiences, while maintaining the crucial role of educators as facilitators.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of finger painting activities on the creativity of children in Group B at Efrat Wayura Kindergarten. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the research involved 15 children and employed observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The findings indicate a clear improvement in children’s creativity after participating in finger painting activities. Initially, many children demonstrated limited creative expression; however, after the intervention, a significant shift occurred, with more children showing higher levels of creative ability, including greater originality, imagination, and confidence in using colors and shapes. These results show that finger painting serves as an effective learning activity for fostering creativity in early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to examines the implementation of Outdoor Learning (ODL) as a strategy to enhance early childhood language development at KB Aisyiyah Cakru, Jember. Grounded in the view that early language abilities are fundamental to cognitive, social, and academic growth, ODL was introduced through contextual activities such as visiting a traditional market and exploring a local herbal garden. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation of children’s learning activities. The findings show that ODL provides authentic, meaningful, and multisensory learning experiences that significantly improve children’s receptive and expressive language skills, including vocabulary acquisition, sentence formation, confidence in communication, and spontaneous verbal interaction. These results align with Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development and the principles of Contextual Teaching and Learning, demonstrating that real-world engagement strengthens language use through social interaction and experiential stimuli. The study concludes that ODL is an effective and relevant pedagogical approach for supporting early language development, particularly in rural PAUD settings rich in local environmental resources.
