Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of innovation and creativity among students in utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to complete academic assignments, as well as to identify the ethical challenges and risks involved. A qualitative phenomenological approach was used, involving eight active students from the Early Childhood Islamic Education (PIAUD) program who frequently use platforms such as ChatGPT, Grammarly, Canva AI, and DALL-E. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that students use AI not only for technical efficiency but also as a medium to express creativity in essay writing, language editing, and visual media production. However, ethical issues arise, including technological dependency and uncertainty about the authenticity of AI-assisted academic work. This research contributes significantly to the development of AI literacy programs and institutional policies in higher education, promoting responsible AI use while reinforcing students’ independent thinking and learning.

Abstract

Toilet training habits are one of the essential life skills that should be instilled early to develop children's independence and responsibility in daily life. This study aims to analyze the strategies used to build toilet training habits implemented in early childhood education institutions. The method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers, and documentation of children's routine activities. The findings reveal that the toilet training strategy is carried out in a structured and consistent manner, beginning with introducing toilet etiquette according to religious teachings, training children to queue, and fostering responsibility for their personal belongings. Teachers play an active role as behavior models through direct practice and routine verbal communication. Despite challenges such as environmental differences between home and school toilets and limited parental understanding, the implementation of toilet training remains effective due to strong collaboration among educators. This study concludes that the success of toilet training highly depends on repeated habituation, active teacher involvement, and synergy with parents. The results of this study contribute to the development of independent behavior strategies for early childhood based on religious values and applicable pedagogical approaches.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of an integrated pre-Tahfiz model in early childhood education and its contribution to developing religious values among young learners at Tadika Ceria Az-Zahra, Malaysia. In response to the growing need for holistic Islamic-based education at the preschool level, the pre-Tahfiz program integrates Qur’anic memorization with character-building activities rooted in Islamic teachings. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation of daily classroom activities. The results indicate that structured and engaging memorization sessions, combined with consistent reinforcement of religious practices such as prayer, dua recitation, and Islamic storytelling, significantly enhance children’s spiritual awareness and behavioral discipline. Furthermore, the study highlights the vital role of parental involvement in reinforcing learning outcomes at home. Parents who actively participate in their children’s Qur’anic learning tend to foster stronger religious values and emotional bonds. The integrated pre-Tahfiz model at Tadika Ceria Az-Zahra is found to be effective not only in improving children’s memorization skills but also in nurturing respect, responsibility, and a love for Islam from an early age. This model can serve as a reference for other early childhood institutions seeking to combine academic and spiritual development through early Qur’anic education. The findings support the importance of collaborative efforts between educators and parents in shaping the religious character of young Muslim learners.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile among Indonesian early childhood learners from diverse national backgrounds at Sanggar Belajar Sentul, a Community Learning Center (CLC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method through observation, interviews, and documentation. Findings revealed that the children’s knowledge of Indonesian national identity, including the President and Vice President’s names, the meaning of the national flag, and the Pancasila values, was very limited prior to the intervention. Through the application of culturally responsive strategies such as thematic learning, flag ceremonies, national song performances, and traditional games, gradual improvements were observed in the children’s understanding and recognition of Indonesian cultural symbols and values. The study highlights the importance of implementing contextual and creative educational programs in migrant learning environments to preserve national identity and recommends the development of structured, child-friendly modules for CLCs abroad

Abstract

This study aims to examine the process of applying the habituation method in memorizing short surahs for early childhood at RA Mamba'ul Hidayah Pati and how the method contributes to the development of children's religion and morals. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The primary data sources in this study were obtained through interviews with those observed, which aimed to observe directly at the research location. The research conducted at RA Mamba'ul Hidayah Pati revealed that this method is effective in facilitating children's memorization through fun repetition, accompanied by explanations of the meaning of the surah that are in accordance with the child's understanding. In this habituation, it shows that the ability to memorize short surahs by applying the memorization habituation method will make it easier for children because children memorize by repeating the readings that have been memorized by reading short surahs that will be memorized repeatedly will make it easier for the child to remember what has been read by the child. And the role of parents at home is very important because it provides motivation and encouragement to children so that children are diligent in memorizing short surahs at home.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Development of the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) Based on the Lilian Katz Model in Improving School Readiness for Children Aged 5-6 Years. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design , involving 30 children as the experimental group and 15 children as the control group. The experimental group received project-based learning with the Lilian Katz model, while the control group used conventional methods. The research instrument was a child development assessment questionnaire covering aspects of cognition and general knowledge, language, social-emotional, physical motor skills, and learning approaches. Data were analyzed using the N-Gain Score test to measure the increase in school readiness. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a more significant increase than the control group, the experimental group with an average N-Gain of 0.76 (high category) while the control group was 0.63 (moderate category). These findings indicate that project-based learning with the Lilian Katz model involving exploration, collaboration, and reflection is more effective in preparing children holistically to enter elementary education. In conclusion, the Lilian Katz Model in P5 can be an innovative and effective learning strategy to improve early childhood school readiness. This study recommends the implementation of a project-based approach in the PAUD curriculum to support optimal child development.

Abstract

Gross motor development is an important aspect in early childhood growth because it plays a role in training balance, coordination, agility, and muscle strength that supports daily activities, so that targeted stimulation through fun play activities is needed. One relevant game is hopscotch, which requires children to jump, maintain balance, and coordinate body movements so that it can stimulate gross motor skills optimally. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) design model of Kemmis and McTaggart with the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, and combines qualitative analysis through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions, and quantitative analysis by calculating the percentage of children's development in the categories of Not Yet Developing (BB), Starting to Develop (MB), Developing According to Expectations (BSH), and Developing Very Well (BSB). The results of the study showed a significant increase in children's gross motor skills from pre-cycle to cycle II in the aspects of balance, coordination, agility, and muscle strength, so it can be concluded that hopscotch games are effective as an active, fun, and contextual learning strategy in supporting the optimal development of early childhood gross motor skills.

Abstract

Early childhood education contributes significantly to building the foundation of children's development, including language, which is the foundation of communication, early literacy, and social-emotional skills. However, observations show that most children aged 5–6 years still experience difficulties in oral language, such as difficulty telling stories, difficulty answering questions, and limited vocabulary. The purpose of this study was to improve children's oral language skills through the application of interactive storytelling methods. The study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) design model of Kemmis & Mc Taggart, which was implemented in two cycles on 10 children in Group B of Kindergarten. Data collection was carried out through observation, performance assessment, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively with triangulation of techniques and sources. The results showed an increase in oral language skills in three main aspects, namely fluency, accuracy, and vocabulary. In the first cycle, the majority of children were in the "Beginning to Develop" and "Developing as Expected" categories, while in the second cycle there was a significant increase with most children reaching the "Developing Very Well" category. The application of interactive storytelling with a variety of media, teacher reflection, and active child involvement has proven successful in creating more interactive and meaningful learning. This study concludes that storytelling is an effective strategy for stimulating early childhood oral language skills while strengthening self-confidence, creativity, and social interaction. The practical contribution of this research is that it provides a reflective storytelling model that early childhood education teachers can adapt in their daily learning.

Abstract

Early childhood is known as a golden period of child development that requires appropriate stimulation so that all aspects of development, especially fine motor skills, can develop optimally. In reality, the development of fine motor skills in children is not optimal due to teachers' limitations in the use of media and innovative learning methods. The purpose of this study was to develop children's fine motor skills through stringing activities that utilize natural materials, namely banana leaves. This study applied the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with two cycles, which included the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. As research subjects, 20 children from group A were selected, consisting of 8 boys and 12 girls. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed a significant increase in children's fine motor skills, especially in aspects of speed, flexibility, and finger strength. Stringing activities with banana leaves were proven to be able to provide a fun and meaningful learning experience, as well as train children's focus and perseverance. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of natural materials in creative activities is effective as a learning strategy in early childhood education. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of nature-based media as an innovative alternative that is environmentally friendly while also supporting the development of fine motor skills in early childhood.
