Abstract

Self-confidence is a fundamental aspect of social-emotional development in early childhood, influencing children’s ability to interact, make decisions, and face challenges within the learning environment. This study aims to theoretically examine how group activities can serve as an effective strategy for fostering self-confidence in early childhood through positive social experiences, collaboration, and emotional support from peers and educators. This research employs a literature study method by reviewing scientific articles, academic books, and research findings from at least the last five years. The analysis was conducted using content analysis techniques to identify the relationship between group activities and self-confidence development based on social-emotional theories, Erikson’s initiative stage, Vygotsky’s social interaction theory, and the concept of self-efficacy. The findings indicate that structured, collaborative, and developmentally appropriate group activities effectively enhance children’s sense of competence, courage, and independence. Therefore, group activities can be utilized as a strong pedagogical approach to support the development of self-confidence in early childhood.Keywords: Self-confidence; early childhood; group activities.

Abstract

Deaf children experience limitations in verbal communication that significantly affect their emotional regulation and social adjustment. These conditions require inclusive and adaptive guidance and counseling services. This study aims to describe the implementation of inclusive counseling approaches for deaf children at State Special School (SLB Negeri) Cilacap. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method through observation and in-depth interviews with school counselors. The research subject was a 10-year-old deaf student. The results indicate that the humanistic counseling approach plays a central role in building an empathetic and supportive counseling relationship. Behavioral, cognitive, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approaches were applied situationally to support adaptive behavior and emotional regulation. The main challenge encountered was limited verbal communication, which requires counselors to master alternative communication strategies such as sign language and visual media. This study concludes that integrative inclusive counseling approaches contribute positively to emotional regulation and social adjustment of deaf children.

Abstract

Early childhood education plays a strategic role in shaping children's religious and moral character from the golden age. One form of worship that is easily introduced to children is the habit of reciting daily prayers integrated into daily activities. However, religious instruction in early childhood education (PAUD) is often delivered conventionally, making it less engaging for children. This article aims to examine the habit of reciting daily prayers through hand puppets as a strategy for strengthening religious values ​​and moral character in the Early Childhood Education Independent Curriculum (ECI). The research used a qualitative approach using literature review methods, including books, scientific articles, and early childhood education regulations. The results indicate that the use of hand puppets can increase learning interest, increase children's engagement, and effectively internalize religious values ​​through daily prayer activities. This habit aligns with the learning outcomes of religious values ​​and moral character and supports the formation of the Pancasila Student Profile. The implications of the research emphasize the importance of innovative, contextual and enjoyable religious learning media in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study examines the teaching skills of graduates from the Early Childhood Islamic Education Study Program (PIAUD) at IAIN Kudus (cohorts 2019–2021) teaching in PAUD institutions in Jepara Regency, from the perspective of Islamic educational neuroscience. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through classroom observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis (observation sheets, lesson plans, photos). Ten teaching skill components were assessed. Quantitative summaries show cohort differences with total scores: 2019 (306), 2021 (292), 2020 (284). Weak components include pre-lesson conditioning and activity variation; strengths include explaining and small-group teaching. Findings recommend integrating neuroscience-based microteaching modules, stronger field mentoring, and instrument revision to better capture brain-friendly practices.

Abstract

Character education plays an important role in shaping and developing the attitudes and behaviors of elementary school students. Indonesian language learning is one of the strategic means of instilling character values because it is directly related to the development of attitudes, language, and culture. Therefore, this study aims to describe and integrate the implementation of character education through Indonesian language lessons in elementary schools. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative. The data collection technique is note-taking. The data analysis technique uses content analysis with a qualitative approach. The results of this study indicate that character values can be effectively instilled through dialogue and reading texts used in learning, including the values of empathy, social awareness, sharing, responsibility, discipline, tolerance, obedience to rules, concern for the environment, cooperation, mutual assistance, and leadership. These values are presented contextually through storylines and learning activities that are close to the lives of students, so that Indonesian language learning not only serves to improve language skills but also acts as a strategic means of character building for elementary school students.

Abstract

The decline in students’ social care character has become increasingly evident in contemporary educational contexts. Therefore, educational media that can foster and strengthen social care character are urgently needed. This study aims to examine the integration of Islamic values within scouting activities as an effort to develop students’ social care character at MI Fathul Huda Kalipakis. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with third-grade students serving as the primary data sources. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, while data credibility was ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings indicate that scouting activities play a significant role in shaping students’ social care character through various programs, including ceremonies, marching drills, knot-tying, hiking, and camping. Furthermore, social care character is reinforced through religious and social habituation, such as praying before and after activities, reciting Surah Al-Fatihah and selected short Qur’anic chapters, engaging in social service activities, helping others, visiting sick peers, and fostering mutual respect. These activities are integrated with Islamic values as reflected in Surah Al-Ma’un (1–3), Ali Imran (102), Maryam (96), Al-Ma’idah (2), An-Nisa (8), and Al-Hujurat (13).

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed contemporary educational practices, leading to the emergence of Society 5.0, which emphasizes human-centered, personalized, and technology-integrated learning. This study examines current trends and challenges in the development of digital instructional materials within the context of Society 5.0. Employing a qualitative library research approach, this study systematically reviews and analyzes 35 scholarly publications published between 2018 and 2023 using qualitative content analysis. The findings reveal that adaptive learning systems, gamification, mobile learning, and immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality constitute the dominant trends in digital instructional innovation. However, significant challenges persist, including limited pedagogical competence, unequal digital infrastructure, insufficient digital literacy among educators, and weak institutional support. Theoretically, this study extends the TPACK framework by integrating ethical and humanistic dimensions aligned with Society 5.0 principles. Practically, it offers strategic recommendations for educators and policymakers to design sustainable, inclusive, and pedagogically meaningful digital instructional materials.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the character formation of the Caliphate (Khalifah fil Ardh) in early childhood through the Green Literacy (Eco-Education) program at Al-Alif Kindergarten in Tokke Village, North Luwu. The character of the Caliphate (Khalifah fil Ardh) is an important foundation in Islamic Religious Education, emphasizing human responsibility as stewards of nature. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques included participatory observation, in-depth interviews with the principal and teachers, and documentation in the form of child development portfolios. The results showed that character formation was achieved through the integration of the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum with concrete object-based play activities, such as gardening and waste management. Assessment procedures were conducted periodically and comprehensively using anecdotal notes and a developmental checklist. Furthermore, the principal's academic supervision played a crucial role in guiding teachers in developing innovative, technology-based learning strategies. The conclusion of this study confirms that the Green Literacy program, supported by an authentic evaluation system and effective supervision, is able to internalize religious-ecological values ​​in children in a sustainable manner, thus shaping their profiles as responsible stewards of the earth.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of digital religious communication in Aqidah Akhlak learning to strengthen students’ religious attitudes at MI Plus Al Mahmud Blitar. The rapid growth of digital media has transformed teacher–student interactions in Islamic education, requiring pedagogical strategies that integrate technological innovation with value-oriented instruction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving Aqidah Akhlak teachers and students engaged in digital-based learning. The findings reveal that digital religious communication serves as a transformative pedagogical medium that enhances student engagement, spiritual awareness, and moral understanding. Teachers utilize digital platforms such as interactive videos, online discussions, and digital storytelling to internalize Islamic values in ways that resonate with students’ digital lifestyles. The study concludes that integrating digital technology in Aqidah Akhlak learning is not merely a technical adaptation, but a form of spiritual pedagogical transformation that connects traditional Islamic values with contemporary digital contexts. These findings highlight the need for continuous teacher professional development in digital pedagogy to reinforce the effectiveness of Islamic education in the digital era.

Abstract

The diversity of students’ learning needs in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah represents a pedagogical reality that requires the implementation of adaptive, inclusive, and learner-centered instruction. Differences in academic abilities, learning styles, interests, and learning readiness are often not optimally accommodated through conventional, uniform instructional approaches. Therefore, differentiated instruction is a relevant strategy, as it allows teachers to adjust learning content, processes, and products according to students’ individual characteristics. This study aims to describe and analyze the implementation of differentiated instruction in accommodating the diversity of students’ learning needs at MI Maarif NU Insan Cendekia. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of instructional documents. Data validity was ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that differentiated instruction was implemented through the mapping of students’ learning needs, flexible instructional strategies, and variations in learning activities and assessments. This implementation had a positive impact on students’ engagement, self-confidence, and responsiveness, and it strengthens constructivist and humanistic perspectives in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah learning.
