Abstract

Food insecurity remains a critical issue affecting early childhood health. Early food knowledge significantly shapes children’s dietary behaviors, underscoring the need for effective pedagogical integration within early education settings. This study aims to systematically examine the integration of food pedagogy and Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and to analyze its impact on children’s health knowledge and healthy food choices. This systematic literature review followed PRISMA guidelines. Peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2014 and 2024 were retrieved from the Scopus database using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Articles focusing on early childhood populations, food or nutrition education, and project-based or experiential learning approaches were selected. Data were extracted and synthesized thematically to identify instructional patterns and reported outcomes. The findings indicate that integrating food pedagogy within PjBL enhances nutritional knowledge, fosters positive attitudes toward healthy foods, and supports informed dietary decision-making. Evidence consistently shows that experiential and collaborative projects contribute to sustainable healthy eating behaviors in early childhood. Overall, food pedagogy implemented through project-based learning represents a promising approach to strengthening early preventive efforts against food insecurity.

Abstract

The digital transformation of Islamic early childhood education requires adaptive, transparent, and ethical student admission management. This study aims to analyze the management of online student admission in Islamic early childhood education within the framework of digital transformation and Islamic educational values. A qualitative case study approach was employed, using in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and institutional documentation. Data were analyzed through Miles and Huberman’s interactive model and interpreted using Islamic management principles, including amanah, ‘adl, shidq, mas’uliyyah, and khidmah. nThe findings indicate that online admission management enhances administrative efficiency, data organization, transparency, and reporting accuracy through structured digital planning and implementation. The process includes collaborative decision-making, digital registration systems, and developmental screening mechanisms. Key challenges involve internet instability, variations in parental digital literacy, data privacy concerns, and technical overload. These challenges are addressed through guidance, assistance, and service-oriented practices aligned with Islamic ethical values. The study concludes that effective digital student admission management in Islamic early childhood education requires balancing technological innovation with ethical governance, digital competence strengthening, data protection, and continuous system evaluation to ensure equitable and transparent services.

Abstract

The transition from Early Childhood Education (ECE) to Elementary School represents a critical developmental phase that requires children’s readiness across independence, social-emotional competence, and cognitive development. In many contexts, school readiness is often narrowly interpreted as academic mastery; however, holistic preparation aligned with developmental stages is essential. This study aims to describe the strategies implemented by Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL) in preparing children at the Early Childhood Education (ECE) level for entry into elementary school. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews involving the school principal, ECE Group B teachers, and first-grade elementary teachers. The findings indicate that although SIKL does not implement a specific transition program, school readiness is systematically integrated into daily ECE learning activities. Strategies include fostering independence, strengthening character development, enhancing social-emotional skills, and adjusting children’s routines through structured yet playful learning experiences. Collaboration with parents and the application of responsive and flexible teaching methods were identified as key supporting factors, while challenges emerged from children’s diverse learning habits and varying levels of independence. The study concludes that effective school readiness preparation should be developmentally appropriate, gradual, and collaborative rather than solely focused on early literacy and numeracy skills. It is recommended that institutions develop structured transition frameworks and strengthen parent–teacher partnerships to ensure smoother adjustment to elementary education.
