Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how character-based leadership influences the principal’s decisions at An Nur Kindergarten in Malang and how these decisions affect the quality of early childhood education. To collect data, this study used a qualitative case study design. In-depth interviews with the principal and teachers, direct observation of learning and managerial activities at the school, and documentation of school policies and programs were conducted. Data were analyzed through stages of reduction, presentation, and thematic analysis. The results indicate that the principal’s character-based leadership is reflected in a participatory, responsive decision-making process oriented toward moral principles such as honesty, empathy, and responsibility. This decision-making process improves learning quality, creates an inclusive educational environment, and strengthens a school culture that supports children’s social and emotional development. The results indicate that character-based leadership plays a strategic role in the principal's decisions at an early childhood education institution. Furthermore, this leadership is a crucial component in improving the quality of early childhood education.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low ability of early childhood students to recognize letters at Darmawan Early Childhood Education Center, where most children still have difficulty distinguishing the shapes and sounds of letters. This condition is caused by conventional learning activities that do not utilize interesting learning media. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of using Literacy Tree media in improving early childhood students' ability to recognize letters. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. The research data sources include teachers, students, and observations of learning activities in the classroom. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique used the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model, which includes the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that there were several forms of application carried out by Darmawan PAUD teachers, namely the creation and arrangement of literacy tree media in the classroom environment, letter recognition activities through literacy tree media, vocabulary development and early reading skills, storytelling and language expression activities for children through literacy trees, exploration of student understanding through letter leaf sticking activities, and elaboration of student understanding in letter and word guessing activities. The implementation has shown results, with the Literacy Tree media significantly improving children's ability to recognize letters. Before implementation, only about 37-40% of children were able to recognize letters, but after the activities, this increased to 87-90%. Children became more active, enthusiastic, and confident in naming and recognizing letters through fun activities such as sticking letter leaves, storytelling, and word guessing

Abstract

The suboptimal gross motor skills of children aged 5 to 6 years, as well as the limited utilization of learning based on local wisdom in the preschool setting, form the background of this study. This study aims to further examine a dance-based learning model rooted in local wisdom to improve the gross motor skills of children aged 5 to 6 years at the Al-Quran Asshiddiq Kindergarten. This study employed the Research and Development method using the ADDIE model. A total of 16 children aged 5–6 years were selected as research subjects. Data were collected through observation and documentation, which were subsequently analyzed by comparing pre-test and post-test results. The model’s feasibility, confirmed through prior expert verification, established its acceptability—specifically, the Gejik Dele dance learning model. The results of the study indicate that the Gejik Dele dance learning model was found to be effective in accelerating the improvement of motor skills in children aged 5–6 years, particularly in the domains of locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative movements. The implications of this study suggest that the integration of dance based on local wisdom can increase children’s engagement and provide a contextual learning experience. This study is limited by its small sample size and its focus on a single institution. The novelty of this study lies in the development of a Gejik Dele dance-based gross motor skills learning model—structured using the ADDIE approach—and the integration of local traditional values into the educational process for early childhood students.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low problem-solving abilities of early childhood children in Kober Cerdas Ceria 2, which is indicated by the high dependence of children on teachers and parents when facing simple problems. This research aims to improve children's problem-solving abilities through the "Little Detective" program with a structured stimulation method. The type of research used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) which is implemented in three cycles. The research subjects were 18 children in group A of Kober Cerdas Ceria 2, consisting of 9 boys and 9 girls. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. The "Little Detective" program was implemented through various structured stimulation activities such as collage, puzzles, role play, grouping objects, and cutting and pasting activities. The results of the study showed an increase in children's problem-solving abilities in each cycle. In the pre-cycle, most children were in the Undeveloped category (72.22%). In cycle I, the Developing According to Expectations category began to emerge at 11.11%. Then in cycle II, the Developing Very Well category reached 16.66%, and increased significantly in cycle III to 72.22%. Thus, the "Little Detective" program through structured stimulation methods is effective in improving the problem-solving abilities of early childhood in Kober Cerdas Ceria 2

Abstract

This study aims to describe efforts to improve early childhood word comprehension through the implementation of the singing method at PAUD Alam J.A. Warraihan in Bima City. Children aged 5–6 years are in a crucial stage of language development. However, field conditions indicate that children’s ability to understand words has not yet developed optimally, particularly in responding to instructions, recognizing the meaning of adjectives, and using vocabulary in simple sentences. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of 12 children from Group B. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the singing method was implemented through three main stages. The first stage was preparation, which included selecting songs and learning media. The second stage was implementation, namely introducing vocabulary through songs, movements, and games. The third stage was evaluation, conducted both formatively and summatively. The successful implementation of this method was supported by children’s enthusiasm, teachers’ creativity in adapting songs, the use of the natural environment, and various learning media. Meanwhile, the obstacles identified included differences in children’s learning pace and limited instructional time. Thus, the singing method can serve as an effective strategy for optimizing word comprehension in early childhood, particularly when implemented in a planned and enjoyable manner and supported by a concrete learning environment.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Feeling Board media as an instrument to stimulate the social-emotional development of children at PAUD Al-Huda. This research was motivated by field observations indicating that children still experienced difficulties in identifying personal emotions, regulating themselves, and engaging in peer cooperation. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach adapted from the Borg and Gall model, consisting of six stages: data collection, planning, product development, preliminary testing, revision, and field testing. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and developmental assessments involving 10 children aged 5–6 years. The results of material expert validation showed an average score of 4.1 (categorized as good), indicating that the media is feasible for implementation. Furthermore, field testing demonstrated a significant improvement in children’s social-emotional competence, with all participants achieving the “Very Well Developed” (BSB) category and a success rate of 87%. These findings confirm that the Feeling Board media is an effective interactive tool for optimizing early childhood social-emotional development.

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to improve early mathematics skills of Group B children at TK Desa Majasto 02 through the implementation of a contextual theme-based "Animals as God's Creatures" smart box media. The primary issue in this study is the children's low ability to comprehend number concepts, simple arithmetic operations (addition and subtraction), and match numbers with the corresponding quantity of objects. The research subjects consisted of 10 children (6 boys and 4 girls). The study was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle comprising planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. Data collection techniques employed structured observation and documentation, while data analysis was performed using descriptive comparative analysis. The results indicated a significant improvement in the children's mathematics skills. In the pre-cycle condition, the classical completeness of children's mathematics skills reached only 20% (2 children). Following the intervention in Cycle I, the completeness percentage rose to 50% (5 children) and achieved optimal success in Cycle II at 90% (9 children). These findings prove that utilizing concrete and manipulative smart box media can facilitate the transformation of abstract concepts into concrete understanding, as well as enhance children's active engagement in early mathematics learning
