Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of lifelong education programs in improving community welfare through a case study of the Salimah mass organization in Pela Mampang, South Jakarta. Lifelong education is conceptualized as a continuous and inclusive learning process that extends throughout the life span and plays a strategic role in addressing socio-economic challenges in urban communities. This research employed a qualitative case study approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis involving organizational leaders, educators, volunteers, and program participants. The findings reveal that Salimah implements various non-formal lifelong education initiatives, including religious education, parenting education, women’s empowerment, entrepreneurship training, and elderly education programs. These initiatives contribute to strengthening economic capacity, social cohesion, family resilience, and community participation. Supporting factors include a well-structured organizational system and strong community engagement, while limited funding and reliance on volunteer resources remain key challenges. The study concludes that community-based lifelong education programs can effectively complement formal education systems and function as a multidimensional strategy for enhancing community welfare in urban settings.

Abstract

The digital era has profoundly transformed early childhood education, creating both opportunities and challenges for Islamic Religious Education (PAI). Young children are increasingly exposed to digital media that influences their cognitive, emotional, and moral development from an early age. This condition requires innovative educational strategies that not only enhance religious knowledge but also foster spirituality, moral character, and ethical awareness rooted in Islamic values. This study employs a qualitative literature review approach, analyzing scholarly works published between 2018 and 2023 related to early childhood spirituality, Islamic education, digital literacy, and character education. The findings reveal that effective spiritual development in Islamic early childhood education requires an integrated framework that combines the internalization of aqidah, ibadah, and akhlaq with value-based digital literacy, child-centered pedagogy, and character-oriented curriculum design. Furthermore, the success of these strategies depends on strong collaboration among educators, families, and communities, as well as continuous formative evaluation. This study contributes a conceptual foundation for developing spiritually grounded, pedagogically innovative, and contextually responsive Islamic early childhood education in the digital era.

Abstract

The post-digital transformation of education has fundamentally reshaped learning ecosystems, positioning digital technologies as integral to pedagogical practices, identity formation, and value construction. Within this context, the emergence of the metaverse introduces immersive virtual environments that profoundly influence children’s spiritual development. While virtual culture presents risks such as identity fragmentation, diminished reflective capacity, and the erosion of traditional spiritual practices, it also offers opportunities for innovative, experiential, and relational learning. This study employs a qualitative literature review to examine the intersection of post-digital education, children’s spirituality, and the metaverse, with particular attention to the reconstruction of Islamic Religious Education. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship in education, digital culture, spirituality, and identity studies, the article synthesizes key challenges and pedagogical possibilities arising from immersive technologies. The findings suggest that a reconstructed approach to religious education—grounded in ethical governance, experiential learning, and cultural sensitivity—can function as a strategic framework for nurturing children’s spirituality within metaverse ecosystems. The study argues that fostering spiritual well-being in post-digital contexts requires not resistance to technological innovation, but intentional pedagogical design that aligns immersive digital environments with transcendent values and holistic human development.

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.
