Abstract

This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of the Miniature Penyengat Mosque Educational Play Tool (APE) as a learning medium to enhance early childhood understanding of religious and moral values in the Riau Islands. The study is motivated by the limited availability of concrete, engaging, and culturally contextual religious learning media, as well as the need to strengthen moral and religious values from an early age in the context of globalization. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants consisted of 30 children aged 4–6 years from three early childhood education (PAUD) institutions, involving teachers and material and media experts as validators. The findings indicate that the Miniature Penyengat Mosque APE demonstrates very high validity, strong practicality, and significant effectiveness in improving children’s religious and moral behaviors, such as worship etiquette, discipline, cooperation, cleanliness, and politeness. Guided play–based learning using this APE provides concrete, enjoyable, and meaningful learning experiences while integrating religious values with Malay–Islamic cultural identity. Therefore, the Miniature Penyengat Mosque APE is recommended as an innovative learning medium aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum for Early Childhood Education and has strong potential for broader implementation based on local wisdom.

Abstract

Independence in early childhood is a critical aspect of social-emotional development and decision-making, yet systematic evidence regarding the influence of the Montessori method on child independence across different contexts remains limited. This study aims to synthesize the impact of Montessori through a literature review of national and international research. The analyzed literature includes journal articles from the last five years and relevant books from the last ten years, focusing on guided freedom, practical life activities, and the teacher’s role as a facilitator. The synthesis reveals that the Montessori method consistently supports self-regulation, decision-making, and personal responsibility in children, both locally and internationally. Teachers play a crucial role in providing proportional guidance, allowing children to learn independently while staying on track. The study also identifies gaps in the literature, including the lack of systematic comparative studies between national and international findings and limited integration of empirical results with the theoretical Montessori framework. Consequently, this synthesis strengthens the theoretical concept of auto-education and provides practical guidance for early childhood educators in designing learning environments that foster sustainable child independence.

Abstract

Language development in early childhood is crucial for communication, cognition, and social interaction. However, not all children experience optimal language growth, often due to a lack of stimulation during the prenatal period. Research has shown that language ability is not only formed after birth but can also be stimulated prenatally through specific auditory inputs. In Indonesia, there is a long-standing tradition of playing classical music, Qur’anic recitations (murottal), and maternal voices to the fetus to stimulate sensory and cognitive development. Despite this, public understanding of prenatal auditory stimulation remains limited. This study aims to raise awareness among parents and communities about the importance of auditory stimulation during pregnancy in supporting children’s language development. The method used is a literature review with a descriptive-analytic qualitative approach, analyzing various scientific sources from the past ten years. The focus is on five forms of prenatal auditory stimulation: classical music, murottal, traditional music, maternal voice, and active parental involvement. Findings indicate that such stimulation significantly affects the readiness of the auditory system and language centers in the brain. Classical music stimulates cognitive areas, murottal provides rhythmic phonetic and spiritual patterns, and the mother’s voice strengthens emotional bonds and activates language areas. These elements work synergistically to build the neurological foundation for more rapid and natural language development. In conclusion, prenatal auditory stimulation is not only a cultural tradition but also a scientifically supported method that should be consciously and systematically implemented, rooted in cultural and spiritual values from the earliest stages of life.
