Abstract

The role of a teacher is an indispensable aspect of the education world, particularly in fulfilling the national educational process standards. The teacher's role in promoting character education can be tailored to the cultural wisdom of a specific region. With the advancement of technology and changing times, the teacher's role in education may no longer appear as prominent. Consequently, teachers often carry out their duties without emphasizing their role as educators. This research employs a qualitative case study approach using Miles and Huberman's model. The findings of this study indicate that teachers function as guides and supervisors in the growth and development of children. They oversee the thoughts, words, and behaviors of both students and themselves, monitor the assessment results, and work on improving the behaviors, thoughts, and words of both students and teachers. The implementation of Sedulur Sikep character teachings by teachers involves three core character teachings: (a) "Angger-angger pratikel" (ethical behavior): Encouraging honesty in everyday life and teaching students not to harbor jealousy or greed towards their peers. (b) "Angger-angger pangucap" (language usage): Promoting the use of Javanese Krama Inggil when communicating with peers or teachers. (c) "Angger-angger lakonan" (patience and resilience): Advocating a patient, resilient, and composed approach to handling various challenges and issues. This research contributes to the understanding that cultural character plays a significant role in shaping the values and behaviors of individuals.

Abstract

The digitalization of a wide range of information poses a significant challenge in the current era, especially concerning the integration of Islamic values in early childhood education. This research delves into the Islamic education of young children within familial settings during the digital age, utilizing a "library research" methodology. Generally, digital technology offers a dual-edged nature. The advantages of such technology lie in its capacity to simplify access to information and assist educators in creating digital-based educational content. However, on the downside, it also provides children with easier access to potentially harmful content that may be inappropriate for their age. Islamic education for young children in a family context during this digital epoch must address the evolving dynamics of the times while implementing positive and transformative approaches. To achieve this, several initiatives can be adopted within the family: developing an understanding of child growth stages, being informed of the educational content being conveyed, particularly regarding Islamic teachings, mastering the ability to regulate the digital platforms frequently accessed by children, and leveraging digital media as a valuable tool for education within the home setting. This research contributes an understanding and methodology for preserving Islamic values within the family sphere while navigating the complexities of the digital age. It highlights the importance of balancing technological advancements with foundational religious teachings in early childhood instruction.

Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of using augmented reality flashcards in stimulating the cognitive development of 4-5-year-old children at TK Bina Ria, particularly in symbolic thinking abilities. The research employed a quantitative experimental model with a Pre-Experimental design, specifically the One Group Pretest design. The study population comprised children aged 4-5 years attending TK Bina Ria, with a sample size of 30 children selected using nonprobability sampling techniques. Data collection methods included tests, observations, and documentation. The research findings indicated that the use of augmented reality flashcards stimulates cognitive development in symbolic thinking abilities. Flashcards with relevant symbols, words, numbers, and pictures assist children in visually grouping, collecting, and organizing objects. This aids them in recognizing logical relationships, categorizing objects, and concretizing ideas. The study also noted that the preoperational stage, which involves various cognitive abilities relevant to children's symbolic thinking, aligns with Piaget's theory. Upon reviewing the results of the t-test, a Sig value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05 was obtained, indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest values. This significant difference is evident in the average scores before and after the implementation of the media, with a pretest average of 12.33 and a posttest average of 28.67. This study contributes to providing one method of stimulating children's symbolic thinking abilities through the use of augmented reality flashcards

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of angklung extracurricular activities on the musical intelligence of early childhood. It adopts an experimental research design with a pretest-posttest one-group design method, which allows for the evaluation of changes in musical intelligence before and after participation in the angklung activities. The research was conducted at TK BAIK Yogyakarta, involving 27 children aged 5-6 years in class B, ensuring a focused and specific demographic. Saturation sampling was chosen as the sampling technique, ensuring that all eligible participants from the population were included in the study. Data collection involved the utilization of a musical intelligence test instrument, carefully selected to measure the desired constructs effectively. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, providing a comprehensive overview of the participants' musical intelligence levels. The research findings revealed a significant increase in musical intelligence, as evidenced by the difference between the average pretest score of 79.85 and the posttest score of 84.96, with a difference of 5.11 points. This disparity underscores the positive impact of angklung extracurricular activities on enhancing the musical intelligence of 5-6-year-old children. The implications of this study suggest that incorporating angklung extracurricular activities into early childhood education programs can serve as a valuable approach for fostering musical intelligence development in young learners.

Abstract

The most prevalent form of violence currently encountered in Indonesia is bullying, which occurs frequently among children from elementary to high school. Bullying has negative impacts on the victims, perpetrators, and those who witness it. It is a primary factor in the deterioration of mental health. Therefore, it is crucial to educate children about bullying from an early age to prevent such incidents. This study aims to provide solutions to prevent bullying. The method used in this research is a literature review. The findings indicate that bullying occurs due to several factors, including children imitating scenes from gadgets, television, and even violent behavior from their parents, among others. The proposed solution to prevent bullying involves instilling moral and religious values in children from an early age, ensuring they are educated about the dangers of bullying and do not engage in such behavior. Teachers and parents play a critical role in instilling these values in young children. This research contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the importance of early education in moral and religious values as a preventive measure against bullying. It underscores the pivotal roles of parents and teachers in shaping children's understanding and behavior regarding bullying. By addressing the root causes and promoting early intervention, this study provides a framework for reducing the incidence of bullying and its associated negative outcomes in the school environment

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of facilities and infrastructure standards on the work motivation of daycare teachers. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing simple linear regression and correlation analysis. The study was conducted in Pamekasan Regency, encompassing all 30 daycare teachers through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected via an online questionnaire using a Likert scale. Validity testing with 30 respondents revealed that the significance values for variables X and Y were 0.004 < 0.05, indicating the validity of all items for both variables. Reliability testing yielded a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.931 for variable X and 0.852 for variable Y, both exceeding the 0.6 threshold, thus confirming the reliability of the items for both variables. Normality testing showed a significance value of 0.150 > 0.05, suggesting a normal distribution of residuals. Homogeneity testing resulted in a value of 0.601 > 0.05, indicating homogeneous data. The correlation test indicated a significance value of 0.004 < 0.05, demonstrating a correlation between the two variables. The simple linear regression analysis produced an F value of 9.608, which is greater than the F table value of 4.196, with a significance level of 0.004 < 0.05. This indicates that the standards of daycare facilities and infrastructure significantly influence the work motivation of daycare teachers. The correlation coefficient of 0.505 translates to 50.5%, suggesting that the facilities and infrastructure variable (X) accounts for 50.5% of the variance in the work motivation of daycare teachers (Y).

Abstract

This study was conducted to understand teachers' comprehension in utilizing corn waste as a learning medium at RA Al Amien. This research employs a qualitative model with a sample size of 12 educators at RA Al Amien. Data collection techniques include semi-structured interviews, tests, and documentation. The data analysis process is carried out using the Miles & Huberman analysis model, including 1) Data reduction, 2) Data display, 3) Conclusion drawing. The research findings indicate that the level of teachers' understanding at RA Al Amien in using corn waste as a learning medium is good, but not yet optimal. This is due to a lack of training, development, and understanding among teachers about the utilization of corn waste in early childhood education. Obstacles faced by teachers at RA Al Amien regarding the use of corn waste as a learning medium include limited teacher knowledge, making it not yet considered for use in the learning process. A follow-up suggestion from this study is to strive for training on the utilization of corn waste for educators so that they can create interesting and enjoyable learning media for children.

Abstract

Behavior that often becomes a problem in children with ADHD is usually impulsive behavior. This behavior can be interpreted as actions done beyond the child's control. Consequently, this can result in children with ADHD being frequently avoided by their peers. This research aims to understand the behavior of each child with special needs, particularly those with ADHD. This study employs a qualitative research method. Data collection in the field is conducted through observation and interviews. Qualitative data analysis can be carried out through three simultaneous activities: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the first child has predominantly inattentive ADHD. This child has difficulty paying attention to details, such as being unable to focus while studying at school or doing homework, leading to frequent changes in schools and eventually dropping out. Meanwhile, the second child has predominantly hyperactive-impulsive ADHD. This child finds it difficult to sit still for long periods. As a result, this child is always supervised by their parents and only roams around the home environment.
