Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Indonesian language skills of children aged 4-5 years through the story of Ke' Lesap. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The subjects of this study are children in the 4-5 age group, focusing on their ability to understand and use Indonesian after being exposed to the story. Data collection was conducted through direct observation and interviews with teachers and parents to obtain a comprehensive picture of the children's language development. The results of this study show that children in this age range are already able to use Indonesian well. They demonstrated improvements in vocabulary, sentence structure, and narrative ability after routinely listening to the story of Ke' Lesap. A significant factor contributing to this improvement is the stimulus provided by the storytelling. The story of Ke' Lesap not only captures children's attention but also stimulates their imagination, which in turn encourages them to communicate more actively and use Indonesian in their daily lives. Furthermore, this study found that storytelling is very effective in introducing complex language concepts in a fun and easily understood manner by children. Teachers and parents also reported increased motivation among children to learn and communicate after participating in storytelling activities. Thus, it can be concluded that the story of Ke' Lesap is highly effective in developing the Indonesian language skills of children aged 4-5 years. This study suggests that storytelling methods should be used more frequently in early childhood education programs to enhance language skills and communication abilities. These findings also contribute significantly to the development of more creative and story-based educational curricula for children.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the impact of extracurricular drumband activities on children's musical discipline. The research employs a quantitative approach utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. Data were collected through pre-research interviews, documentation, and validated observations. The sample was drawn using a saturated sampling technique, encompassing the entire population, resulting in 31 respondents from TK Anna Husada Bangkalan. The findings indicate that the observation sheet's validity, comprising 8 items, reached a value of 87.5%, categorizing it as highly valid. Data analysis included normality tests and hypothesis testing using t-tests. The normality test results revealed that the pre-test value was 0.098 > 0.05 and the post-test value was 0.078 > 0.05, indicating a normal data distribution. The hypothesis test showed that the calculated t-value (t-count) was 41.375, exceeding the critical t-value (t-table) of 2.04227, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and rejection of the null hypothesis (H0). Consequently, it can be concluded that extracurricular drumband activities positively influence children's musical discipline. This research suggests that incorporating drumband activities in early childhood education can significantly enhance children's musical discipline. Schools and educators might consider integrating such extracurricular activities into their curriculum to foster better discipline and potentially improve overall academic and personal development outcomes for children. Future research could explore long-term effects and the impact of similar activities on other areas of children's growth.

Abstract

The low creativity of early childhood children at TK Negeri Pembina Bangkalan is caused by teacher-dominated learning, monotonous learning materials, and the use of tools and equipment that are less engaging. Additionally, classroom activities are not interesting and do not involve environmental resources. The purpose of this study was to improve the creativity of children aged 5-6 years through ecoprint activities at TK Negeri Pembina Bangkalan. This study employed an experimental method with a Pre-Experimental Design (Non-Designs), specifically using the One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population of this study consisted of all children in Group B at TK Negeri Pembina Bangkalan, totaling 33 children, with the sample also consisting of 33 children. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. Based on the results of the analysis conducted through the pre-test, treatment, and post-test stages, the findings on the effectiveness of ecoprint techniques in developing creativity in children aged 5-6 years at TK Negeri Pembina Bangkalan showed that in the pre-test, 100% of children were categorized as "beginning to develop". In contrast, the post-test results showed that 48% of children were categorized as "developing as expected" and 52% were categorized as "developing very well". The N-Gain Score was 0.7368, which reflects the difference between the pre-test and post-test results. This indicates that the effectiveness of ecoprint activities in increasing the creativity of children aged 5-6 years at TK Negeri Pembina Bangkalan is 73%, which falls under the category of "moderately effective." The findings of this study contribute to offering an alternative activity to foster creativity in early childhood

Abstract

Children with special needs often require tailored learning methods to support their cognitive, physical, sensory, social-emotional, and behavioral development. Despite the importance of inclusivity in education, early childhood education (ECE) institutions face challenges in creating effective and inclusive learning environments due to limited resources, inadequate teacher training, and a lack of adaptive curriculum frameworks. Understanding the specific needs of these children through detailed profiles can help guide teaching practices and support their academic and social-emotional growth. This research aims to map the profiles of children with special needs in ECE based on a comprehensive literature review and analyze how these profiles can inform child-centered educational approaches. Using a library research methodology, the study synthesizes information from books, academic journals, and other relevant sources to build a comprehensive profile of common special needs categories in ECE. The findings reveal patterns in the prevalence of specific needs and highlight early indicators of developmental challenges. The study emphasizes the need for a responsive and inclusive educational environment, where teaching methods are adapted to meet the unique needs of each child. Recommendations include targeted training for educators on adaptive teaching strategies and inclusive classroom management, as well as advocating for resource allocation to improve supporting infrastructure. Additionally, the study suggests that policymakers consider using profiling tools as an essential component of early childhood education, enabling early identification and support for children with special needs. By integrating these practices, ECE institutions can enhance educational outcomes for all students, fostering a more inclusive learning culture that benefits children with diverse developmental needs.

Abstract

This study explores the role of educators in instilling Islamic character in early childhood through the habituation of daily prayer memorization. The main issue identified is the lack of structured Islamic character education and the minimal habituation of daily prayers as part of moral education. This is often due to a lack of understanding and effective strategies from educators in applying Islamic character education. The aim of this research is to examine the role of educators in shaping Islamic character in young children through the habituation of daily prayer memorization and to explain how this practice can be applied based on the teachings of the Qur'an and Hadith. A phenomenological approach was used, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. Primary data was sourced from the Qur'an, Hadith, and supporting materials such as journals, books, and articles. The research findings indicate that Islamic character education aims to develop children with Qur'anic morals and good habits in their daily lives. The habituation of daily prayers, such as those taught by the Prophets, can be incorporated into daily routines with the guidance of educators. The role of the educator is crucial, including gathering the prayers to be memorized, providing explanations, setting a good example, and motivating children who struggle with memorization. Furthermore, educators collaborate with parents to ensure the continued practice of daily prayers at home. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of Islamic character education through daily prayer memorization as a foundation for moral development in early childhood and encourage educational institutions to integrate Islamic character education into their curricula to shape a Qur'anic character in future generations.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of entrepreneurship activities based on the market day program in developing social skills in early childhood at TK Muslimat NU Darunnajah Kamal Bangkalan. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation at the school. The data sources include literature as well as field data, which involve the school principal, teachers, and the children. Data analysis is conducted using the model developed by Miles and Huberman. The findings indicate that the market day program has a positive impact on developing children's social skills. Interactions between children and buyers or peers, such as negotiating, sharing, and resolving conflicts, enrich their social experiences. These activities help children develop important social skills, including empathy, communication, and teamwork. Additionally, the program promotes improvements in self-confidence, as children gain a sense of achievement through their involvement in entrepreneurial activities. By taking on tasks such as selling and managing products, they learn to interact effectively with others. Moreover, the market day program introduces basic entrepreneurial concepts to children. These concepts teach values such as hard work, responsibility, and appreciation for others' efforts. Children begin to understand the importance of working together to achieve goals and the rewards that come from collaboration and perseverance. This study contributes empirical evidence on the positive effects of the market day program in fostering social skills in young children. The findings can serve as a valuable reference for early childhood education institutions in designing programs that promote both social and emotional development. Additionally, the research highlights the potential of incorporating entrepreneurship education into early childhood curricula, offering an innovative approach to enriching teaching methods and preparing children for future challenges.
