Abstract

Parental guidance plays a crucial role in shaping the learning discipline of early childhood. Discipline in early childhood is one of the essential aspects of character and personality development. Children who are disciplined tend to follow rules more easily, take responsibility, and have good self-control. One of the influential factors in children's discipline is the guidance provided by parents. This study aims to analyze the influence of parental guidance on the discipline of early childhood at Pos PAUD Bina Hidayah Kluwih. This study employs a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires given to parents and educators at Pos PAUD Bina Hidayah Kluwih. The results indicate that children who receive active parental guidance exhibit a higher level of discipline compared to those who receive minimal guidance. Forms of guidance include setting clear rules at home, parents serving as role models, and the consistent application of consequences when children break the rules. Furthermore, effective communication between parents and children also plays a role in helping children understand the importance of discipline. Based on the findings of this study, it can be concluded that parental guidance has a significant influence on the formation of early childhood discipline. Therefore, raising awareness and encouraging active parental participation in guiding children is necessary to instill discipline from an early age. With optimal parental involvement, children can grow into individuals who are more organized, responsible, and possess good self-control. Keywords: Guidance, Parents, Discipline, Early Childhood

Abstract

Education is a learning process that aims to develop individual potential, both in intellectual, emotional, social, and life skills aspects. Children's cognitive development includes increasing the ability to think critically, which includes various important aspects of the cognitive process. In this phase, children begin to learn to think logically, such as remembering, memorizing, and drawing conclusions based on the information they remember. Consequently, interactive and fun learning media are essential to facilitate early childhood comprehension of numerical concepts. Number symbol cards effectively facilitate early childhood comprehension of numerical concepts in an engaging manner. This study employs a descriptive qualitative methodology. The objective of the qualitative methodology is to examine how educators endeavour to enhance children's cognitive skills through the utilisation of number symbol cards. The outcomes of the initial meeting were just 8%, which rose to 19.33% in the subsequent meeting as compared to week one. This means that in week 2 there has been an increase of 27.33% when compared to week I. Moral support, a positive learning environment, and the availability of learning resources at home also encourage children to understand the concept more optimally. The use of interactive learning media that suits children's learning styles can be a solution to improve their understanding of the basic concepts of recognizing numbers and support their readiness to enter the next level of education. Keywords: Education, Early Childhood, Cognitive, and Number Symbol

Abstract

This article explores the application of Islamic counseling for early childhood education (PAUD) through Islamic mindfulness methods as a strategy to establish a spiritual foundation in the modern era. Islamic counseling plays a crucial role in integrating religious values into the educational process, while Islamic mindfulness techniques assist children in developing self-awareness and emotional regulation. Utilizing a qualitative approach with library research, this study examines the benefits and challenges associated with implementing these two methodologies. The findings reveal that the combination of Islamic counseling and mindfulness significantly enhances children's character and spirituality, fostering a positive relationship between parents and children. Furthermore, this integrated approach is anticipated to contribute meaningfully to the development of a generation equipped with strong Islamic values, capable of navigating the complexities of the digital age. By emphasizing the importance of spiritual education in early childhood, this research underscores the need for educators and parents to collaborate in nurturing children's moral and ethical development.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low ability of early childhood in Nurul Falah Masalembu Kindergarten, Sumenep in recognizing geometric shapes due to the application of conventional methods that are less interactive. The purpose of this study was to explore the effectiveness of constructive play as a fun learning approach in improving the ability to recognize geometric shapes in early childhood. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with a case study approach to 20 children through participatory observation, interviews with teachers, and documentation of play activities. The results showed that constructive play, such as the use of blocks and geometric boards, was able to improve children's ability to recognize, distinguish, and combine basic geometric shapes. Children also showed increased motivation, self-confidence, and active participation in the learning process. Teachers play an important role in designing contextual play activities and facilitating children's creative exploration. The implications of this study indicate that constructive play can be an effective and applicable alternative learning strategy, especially in the 3T region, by creating a more meaningful learning atmosphere and in accordance with the characteristics of early childhood development. Keywords:  Constructive play; Geometry; Early childhood; Contextual learning; Learning motivation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of songs in facilitating memorization for early childhood students at KB Karya Bersama, Pacitan Regency. The research method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation and interviews with teachers.The results of the study show that the use of songs effectively enhances the memorization abilities of young children. Songs with simple melodies and repetitive lyrics help children remember material more easily compared to conventional methods. In addition, songs create a fun learning atmosphere, improve focus, and motivate children to learn without feeling burdened. Teachers also experience the benefits of this method in increasing students' active participation during lessons. However, selecting songs that are appropriate for the children’s age and learning material is a key factor in the success of this method. Recommendations for future research include developing a wider variety of songs, integrating technology into song-based learning, and testing the effectiveness of this method on larger and more diverse groups of children. In conclusion, songs are an effective strategy for improving memory in early childhood, and thus can become an integral part of learning methods at the early childhood education level.

Abstract

This This study investigates the effectiveness of Qur’anic instructional methods used at the Quranic Education Center (TPA) of Ar-Rohmah Ash-Sholihin Mosque, located in Ngabeyan, Sukoharjo. The TPA applies two key methods: the individualized Iqro’ approach for beginner learners and the tartil-based halaqah model for more advanced students. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation on March 29, 2025. The findings suggest that the integration of both methods substantially improves students’ Qur’anic reading abilities. The Iqro’ method supports personalized learning tailored to individual progress, while the halaqah approach fosters interactive group learning that enhances tajwid proficiency through peer engagement. Several factors influence the effectiveness of the program, including student consistency, teacher competence, supportive learning environments, and the regularity of sessions. Challenges such as limited instructional time, insufficient teaching personnel, and inconsistent student motivation were identified. Nonetheless, the TPA addresses these challenges through adaptive strategies such as scheduling adjustments, involvement of senior students, interactive learning techniques, and increased parental engagement. Keywords:  Qur’anic education, Iqro’ method, halaqah method.

This analysis technique is used in this study to interpret the process of symbolic interaction in the habit of singing through the lyrics of the song. The results of this study show that symbolic interaction is present in the habit of singing. Symbolic interaction has three main concepts, namely Mind, Self and Society. The meaning of symbolic interaction mind is that there are several nonverbal and verbal symbols found that have different meanings between educators and students.
