Abstract

This study aims to foster a sense of compassion in young children through storytelling at the Daarul Huda Islamic Kindergarten. The study was motivated by the low levels of empathy and social acceptance shown by children towards their peers, particularly those with special needs. The study employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, conducted over two cycles. The research subjects comprised seven children aged 4–5 years. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. The results of the study indicate that the storytelling method is effective in enhancing children’s sense of compassion. In the pre-cycle, 85.71% of the children were in the ‘Beginning to Develop’ category and 14.29% in the ‘Developing as Expected’ category. Following the intervention in Cycle I, the proportion in the ‘Developing as Expected’ category increased to 85.71%. In Cycle II, all children achieved the ‘Developing Very Well’ category (100%). Improvements were observed in the children’s ability to speak politely, help friends, share, understand others’ feelings, and demonstrate caring behaviour. Thus, the storytelling method is effective for developing the social-emotional skills of young children

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low learning focus of hyperactive children at RA Al-Bayan Parigi Pangandaran. Hyperactive children tend to have difficulty concentrating, are easily distracted, and exhibit excessive motor activity that disrupts the learning process. This study aims to improve children's learning focus through structured motor activities. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with the Kemmis and McTaggart model consisting of two cycles. The research subjects were group A children totaling 29 people. Data collection techniques used observation, documentation, and performance assessment. The results of the study showed an increase in children's learning focus from the pre-cycle of 48.27%, to 83.35% in cycle I, and reaching 93.09% in cycle II. This indicates that structured motor activities are effective in improving the learning focus of hyperactive children.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the still low levels of literacy and numeracy achievement in Indonesia in the digital era, highlighting the need for teachers to implement innovative learning approaches that are appropriate for the characteristics of early childhood. One approach that can be applied is the digital media-based scaffolding method, which provides gradual assistance to help children learn and complete tasks independently. This study aims to analyze the teacher's role in implementing digital media-based scaffolding for early childhood education in kindergarten. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The participants consisted of one teacher and Group A children aged 4–5 years. Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that teachers perform essential roles as educators, facilitators, guides, and motivators in digital media-based learning activities.The most dominant role is that of a guide, as teachers provide gradual assistance through instructions, demonstrations, guiding questions, and direct support until children are able to complete tasks independently. The study concludes that the implementation of digital media-based scaffolding can support early childhood learning when accompanied by optimal teacher involvement. It is expected that the findings of this study will contribute to the development of more effective teaching practices that are aligned with the developmental needs of young children.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the optimization of instilling noble moral values in children aged 5–6 years at RA Fajar Shiddiq and RA Azrina in Medan. The background of this study is based on the importance of character building in children from an early age through the cultivation of noble moral values such as politeness, honesty, discipline, responsibility, empathy, and cooperation. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with 7 teachers as subjects. Data collection techniques included open-ended questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and classroom observations, while data analysis utilized the Miles and Huberman model, which encompasses data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions through data triangulation to ensure validity. The results of the study indicate that the instillation of noble moral values has been consistently implemented through daily habit-forming activities at school, such as greeting teachers, sharing with peers and teachers, apologizing, maintaining discipline, and cooperating during play. Teachers play a crucial role as role models, mentors, and providers of positive reinforcement in shaping children’s character. Observation results also indicate positive behavioral development in children, marked by increased politeness, caring, independence, and the ability to cooperate. Although challenges exist, such as differences in children’s personalities and the influence of external environments, the instillation of noble moral values generally proceeds well and effectively in shaping the character of young children

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of early childhood literacy and numeracy learning in the early childhood education curriculum in Indonesia and understand the various factors that affect its implementation. The research is motivated by the fact that there is still a tendency for literacy and numeracy learning to be formally academically oriented, so that it is not fully in accordance with the principles of early childhood development. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study type to gain an in-depth understanding of learning practices in the field. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and documentation of selected early childhood teachers, principals, and parents using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman interactive model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the implementation of literacy and numeracy learning is carried out through a play approach, contextual experience, and exploration of the children's learning environment. The findings of the study reveal three main themes, namely literacy and numeracy learning as contextual learning experiences, implementation challenges due to parents' academic demands, and the importance of family involvement in supporting children's ability development. In addition, the use of digital media has also begun to be used to increase children's interest in learning, although it still requires the right assistance. This research provides a theoretical contribution in strengthening the perspective of social constructivism in early childhood learning and provides practical implications for teachers and policymakers in developing literacy and numeracy learning that is more contextual, humanistic, and in accordance with the characteristics of child development.
