Abstract

Prosocial behavior and digital literacy are critical domains in early childhood development but remain under-stimulated due to limited instructional media. This study evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of the GIMALONG interactive video, designed to foster sharing, collaboration, and helping behaviors while enhancing digital literacy in children aged 5ÔÇô6 years. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, the product underwent expert validation and was tested through individual (2 children), small group (8 children), and large group (25 children) trials. Data were collected via observation, questionnaires, and pretest-posttest instruments, then analyzed using the N-Gain formula. The results showed high effectiveness, with N-Gain scores for prosocial behavior and digital literacy consistently in the high category across all phasesÔÇöindividual (0.8617; 0.8574), small group (0.8853; 0.8376), and large group (0.8394; 0.8142). These findings support the use of GIMALONG as a feasible and impactful tool to support character and digital competency development in early learning environments.┬á┬á

Abstract

The development of religious and moral values is a crucial foundation in shaping the character of early childhood learners. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Prezi Video media in fostering religious and moral development in Group B children. Employing an experimental design with a quantitative approach, the study focused on three core aspects: identifying religions and places of worship, maintaining personal hygiene, and performing prayers according to one's faith. A total of 15 children from Tut Wuri Handayani Kindergarten participated in the study. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test observations conducted before and after the implementation of Prezi Video media. The findings revealed a significant improvement across all three aspects, with most children progressing from the "Emerging Development" category to "Developed as Expected" and "Very Well Developed" after the intervention. These results indicate that Prezi Video media is an effective tool for enhancing early childhood understanding and application of religious and moral values.

Abstract

Holistic Integrative Early Childhood Development is a comprehensive and integrated service aimed at ensuring children possess the necessary abilities and receive their rights as children. This study aims to describe the model of Holistic Integrative Early Childhood Education (HI-ECE) services and the collaborative efforts between ECE institutions and relevant partners. The research adopts a qualitative phenomenological approach and was conducted in West Java Province, involving 50 schools and 12 key informants with experience in managing ECE institutions. Data collection techniques included structured interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis followed a qualitative process consisting of data collection, data reduction, data analysis, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results indicate that ECE institutions have made efforts to implement HI-ECE through five types of services: education, parenting, health, protection, and welfare. Partners involved in the development of holistic integrative early childhood programs include community organizations, health units, professional organizations, government agencies, and religious organizations. Therefore, the HI-ECE program needs to be continuously promoted so that children can enjoy their right to learn in a fun, safe, and joyful environment. Collaboration and support from relevant partners must be continuously pursued through programs that prioritize the needs and rights of young children.

Abstract

This study aims to examines the impact of prostitution environments on children's mental development and evaluates the effectiveness of child protection programs in Indonesia. Studies show that children living in prostitution environments are vulnerable to psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, and social stigmatization. This study aims to analyze these impacts, assess the effectiveness of child protection policies, and formulate an intervention model based on psychological, social, and educational support. Through qualitative methods, the study involved participants from the village secretary and the head of the Pamandangan RT, who were selected purposively. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and policy document analysis. The results showed that children in prostitution environments experience complex trauma due to violence, stigmatization, and family instability. Protective factors such as school support, mentoring, and the role of community leaders can increase children's resilience. However, the implementation of child protection policies is hampered by weak coordination between institutions and limited resources. This study enriches the child development model with an ecological and resilience perspective and offers guidelines for community-based interventions. In terms of policy, it is recommended to strengthen the synergy between the government, KPAI, and LSM through integrated monitoring and specific budget allocation for child protection in prostitution environments.

Abstract

Prolonged exposure to smartphones has caused many children to become dependent on digital devices as a primary source of entertainment. This condition has been linked to a decline in children's social sensitivity and interaction skills. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) in enhancing social skills among early childhood learners. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed using a thematic approach, and the validity of findings was ensured through data triangulation. The results indicate that the integration of the Pancasila Student Profile in classroom activities has positively influenced the development of children's social skills, particularly in peer interactions. These findings suggest that the P5 initiative can serve as a valuable foundation not only for fostering social skills but also for supporting broader aspects of early childhood development.

Abstract

Humanistic principal leadership is essential for fostering inclusive Early Childhood Education (ECE), yet remains underexplored in IndonesiaÔÇÖs inclusive schools. This study examined how principals practice humanistic leadership in two inclusive kindergartens in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, to support diverse learning environments. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were gathered through observation, in-depth interviews with two principals, eight teachers, four parents, and document analysis at Pelita Hati and Bina Sejahtera Kindergartens. Thematic analysis followed Miles and HubermanÔÇÖs framework. Results show humanistic leadership is reflected in embracing diversity, building supportive environments, and facilitating collaboration. Principals lead through participatory decision-making, empathy, care, and promoting each childÔÇÖs potential, shaping an inclusive, humanistic school culture. The study offers insights into how humanistic leadership operates in inclusive ECE, providing a practical reference for principals and policymakers to strengthen inclusive, child-centered education.┬á
