Abstract

Early childhood children face a dynamic and constantly changing environment. The ability to adapt to the environment at this stage is an important key in their development. This research explores the urgency of environmental adaptability in early childhood in the context of their holistic development. Through a literature review, it is known that environmental adaptability influences various aspects, including cognitive, social, emotional and physical. Children who are able to adapt to their environment tend to have better social adjustment, better learning abilities, and higher levels of overall well-being. Research also highlights factors that influence the ability to adapt to the environment in early childhood, such as family support, interactions with peers, availability of resources, and personal experiences. It was found that an environment that is supportive, responsive and provides appropriate challenges can improve children's adaptive abilities. In conclusion, understanding the urgency of environmental adaptability in early childhood is important to inform effective educational and parenting practices. Interventions that strengthen early childhood adaptation abilities can provide a solid foundation for optimal development in the future. Therefore, research and practice that focus on building environmental adaptation capabilities at this stage need to be given serious attention.

Abstract

This study explores parents' strategies to support their 5-6-year-old children's understanding of counting. The research adopts a qualitative descriptive design, allowing for an in-depth understanding of parents' experiences and practices through interviews and live observations. The informants are parents from a private kindergarten (TK) in Jakarta, Indonesia, who actively teach their children counting activities. The findings reveal that parents utilize three main strategies: mathematics discussions, integrating numeracy into daily activities, and using educational games such as 'Monopoly' or digital applications like 'ABC mouse'. These strategies help children develop their understanding of basic mathematical concepts naturally and enjoyably. The results have significant implications for early childhood education. The practices adopted by parents have proven effective in enhancing children's mathematical comprehension. Integrating numeracy into everyday activities allows children to connect mathematical concepts with real-life situations, while mathematical conversations enrich their learning experiences. The use of educational games also facilitates engaging and interactive math learning. Based on these findings, it is recommended that parents and educators continue to promote these strategies to support early childhood mathematical learning and develop resources to facilitate their implementation. With a holistic and integrated approach, this research can provide children with a solid mathematical foundation for future success in learning mathematics.

Abstract

Creating and maintaining a safe and comfortable learning environment has a very important role in preventing bullying in early childhood education. Teachers can implement child-friendly classroom management to create a safe and comfortable environment. This research uses a type of qualitative research with a library study method or known as a literature review such as journals and scientific articles. The result is that child-friendly classroom management has been proven to be more practical and effective in Early Childhood Education classes. Through child-friendly classes, children's acceleration and abilities can be improved because the child-friendly learning process has consistent values and is in line with children's needs. In addition, creating a friendly classroom can reduce aggressive behavior and increase prosocial behavior among students. A child-friendly education system has also been implemented in New Zealand by integrating contextual learning that is relevant, interesting and meaningful. The role of teachers in child-friendly classroom management is very important. Teachers as role models in the classroom can foster a friendly learning environment to overcome bullying behavior in children. However, good pedagogical competency support is also needed so that teachers can create a more positive learning atmosphere. The importance of creating child-friendly classes in early childhood education is to provide a classroom environment that is safe, comfortable, and supports children's optimal development. Classroom arrangements can be made by arranging classrooms that are safe, easily accessible, comfortable and clean, providing safe and interesting learning media, and ensuring positive communication between teachers and children.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a conceptual framework and a preliminary assessment instrument to measure kindergarten teachers' competence in integrating character education into their lesson plans. Character education, the deliberate cultivation of positive ethical and moral values in students, is increasingly recognized as essential for holistic child development. However, there is a lack of standardized tools to evaluate teachers' abilities in this domain. This research will employ a comprehensive literature review to identify the key components of teacher competence in character education lesson planning. The review will examine existing research, theoretical frameworks, and best practices in character education and early childhood pedagogy. The findings will inform the development of a conceptual framework that outlines the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary for effective character education lesson planning in kindergarten. Based on this framework, a preliminary assessment instrument will be designed. The expected outcome of this study is a preliminary assessment instrument grounded in a robust conceptual framework. This instrument will be ready for further refinement and validation through pilot testing and feedback from experts and practitioners in the field. This study will contribute to the field of early childhood education by providing a foundation for developing a standardized tool to evaluate and enhance teacher competence in character education, ultimately leading to improved character development outcomes for young children.
