Abstract

This study aims to describe digital technology-based human resource (HR) management strategies in early childhood education (PAUD) units in Tangerang Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving unit heads, teachers, and educational staff. The results indicate that the use of digital technology in HR management remains limited to personnel administration, internal communication, and activity documentation. Meanwhile, the use of technology for recruitment, training, performance assessment, and the professional development of educators has not yet been optimally implemented. Necessary digital technology-based HR management strategies include enhancing the digital literacy of educators and staff, digitizing personnel administration, optimizing school communication platforms, and formulating internal policies that support technology-based HR governance. The findings suggest that implementing digital-based HR management has the potential to improve management efficiency, personnel data accuracy, communication effectiveness, and the quality of educational services in PAUD units.

Abstract

Teacher professionalism is a key factor determining the quality of learning in Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions. Professional teachers are expected to possess pedagogical, professional, personal, and social competencies that foster an effective, creative, and child-development-centered learning process. This study aims to analyze ECE teacher professionalism in enhancing learning quality, identify factors that support or hinder such professionalism, and describe efforts made to improve the quality of instruction. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. Data collection involved observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis encompassed data red uction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that teacher professionalism positively influences learning quality, as evidenced by teachers' abilities to plan, implement, and evaluate instruction in alignment with children's developmental characteristics. Supporting factors include continuous training, institutional leadership support, and the availability of learning resources; conversely, inhibiting factors include limited facilities, restricted opportunities for competency development, and administrative burdens. Therefore, enhancing teacher professionalism through continuous training, mentoring, and competency development is a crucial step toward improving learning quality in ECE institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the activities of the Cub Scout program in fostering cooperative character in early childhood children aged 5-6 years at Ar Rahmah Kindergarten, Tasikmalaya City. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document studies, which were analyzed using triangulation techniques. The results of the study show that the school has a strong commitment to integrating scouting values into the Seven Habits program through learning communities. The implementation of Cub Scout activities is carried out in a structured manner through a two-week activity cycle that includes practicing discipline and collaborative play activities. Children's cooperative character develops gradually through activities that encourage interaction, helping each other, sharing roles, and completing tasks together. The success of the program's implementation is supported by the teachers' creativity in managing Learning activities and the use of the open environment as a learning medium, even though there are still obstacles in the form of distractions from the surrounding environment. This research finding shows that Pramuka Prasiaga activities contribute to fostering teamwork character as one of the foundations of social-emotional development in early childhood.

Abstract

Number concept ability is one of the important aspects of cognitive development that needs to be developed in early because it serves as the foundation for understanding counting activities in the next level of education. Based on preliminary observations at TK Kencana Mandiri North Bengkulu, out of 15 children in Group A aged 4-5 years, 12 children (80%) still experienced difficulties in recognizing numbers, connecting numbers with the quantity of objects, and sequencing numbers 1-10. This study aims to improve number concept ability through the leaf number game among Group A children at TK Kencana Mandiri North Bengkulu. The research employed the Classrom Action Research (CAR) method based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The study was conducted in two cycles. Cycle I on May 8, 2026, and Cycle II on May 29, 2026. The results showed an increase in children’s number concept ability in each cycle. In the initial condition, 12 children (80%) had difficulties. After Cycle I, 7 children (46,67%) achieved mastery. In Cycle II, all 15 children (100%) reached mastery. This study concludes that the leaf number game is effective in improving number concept ability in early childhood.

Abstract

Advancements in information and communication technology have transformed society, particularly through the widespread use of social media by adolescents for communication, information gathering, entertainment, and identity formation. While social media offers benefits such as broadened horizons, enhanced communication skills, and easy access to learning resources, it also presents negative impacts—including addiction, a decline in communication ethics, reduced social interaction, consumerist behavior, the spread of misinformation, and cyberbullying. This situation poses a challenge for the education sector, specifically regarding Social Studies (IPS) instruction in elementary schools. This article examines the influence of social media on adolescent behavior and its implementation in elementary Social Studies learning, employing a library research method to analyze relevant books, journals, and scholarly documents. The findings indicate that social media exerts both positive and negative influences on adolescent behavior; consequently, Social Studies teachers play a crucial role in guiding students to use social media wisely, critically, and responsibly. Social media can be integrated into Social Studies instruction through the use of educational content, online discussions, project-based learning, and the strengthening of digital literacy tailored to students' characteristics. Thus, social media serves not merely as a source of entertainment but also as an effective educational tool for shaping character, enhancing social skills, and fostering critical thinking abilities among students.

Abstract

The global mental health crisis calls for a model of psychotherapy that goes beyond the conventional biomedical paradigm in order to fully optimize human potential. This qualitative research, conducted through a literature review and comparative-hermeneutic analysis, aims to construct a common ground between the concepts of tazkiyah al-nafs (Sufism) and flourishing (positive psychology) as the foundation for a holistic mental health model. This study delves into the thought of Sufi figures (Al-Ghazali, Ibn Arabi, Al-Qusyairi) as well as the pillars of contemporary positive psychology (Seligman, Ryff, Fredrickson). The research results reveal three main findings: (1) there is a significant structural correspondence between the stages of Sufi maqamat and the dimensions of flourishing in the PERMA+ model; (2) practical concepts such as muhasabah, dzikir, and mahabbah possess empirically supported neuropsychological mechanisms that contribute to emotional regulation; (3) the integrative Tazkiyah-Flourishing (TF) Model has the potential to serve as a more effective culture-based psychotherapy framework for the Indonesian Muslim population than secular Western approaches. The main contribution of this study is the construction of an original conceptual model that positions the transcendental dimension as a core mediating variable in the attainment of psychological well-being. Through the integration of Islamic epistemology and modern science, the TF Model is expected to serve as an adaptive alternative solution, while also providing a foundation for the development of educational services and mental health support for students based on Islamic values in schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of meaningful learning (deep learning) as an effort to train early childhood social literacy skills at PAUD Ar Ridho, Bettet Village, Pamekasan. Social literacy is a crucial 21st-century competence comprising communication, collaboration, empathy, and positive social participation. However, early observations revealed that many children exhibited individualistic behavior and faced social detachment due to gadget addiction, coupled with teacher-centered rote-learning methods. This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection techniques include non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and school heads, and documentation analysis. Data triangulation is used to ensure validity. The results demonstrate that deep learning implementation via game-based learning, social interaction projects, scaffolding, and contextual inquiry actively engages children's prior knowledge, fosters deep conceptual understanding, and successfully enhances social literacy aspects such as empathy, interpersonal communication, and group collaboration. Implication of this learning process shows significant transformation in children's active social participation and communication skills.
