Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the cooking class learning center on the science skills of children aged 4–5 years at TK Negeri Pembina, Kota Tengah District, Gorontalo City. This research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The study involved a sample of 17 children and revealed a difference in the average scores between the pre-test (16.41) and post-test (31.71). The hypothesis testing using linear regression analysis showed a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. These results demonstrate that the use of the cooking class center has a significant effect on the science skills of children aged 4–5 years at TK Negeri Pembina, Kota Tengah District, Gorontalo City.

Abstract

Global approaches to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) vary, with increasing emphasis on inclusive practices and cross-cultural research for effective solutions. This study addresses the challenges surrounding the treatment and societal acceptance of children with ASD, particularly focusing on the transition from childhood to adulthood. It explores the initial emotional reactions of parents upon receiving an autism diagnosis and examines how foundations, schools, and clinics manage the care and treatment of children with ASD, emphasizing early and appropriate therapeutic interventions. The research compares the treatment of children with autism in Indonesia and adult individuals with autism in Germany. A mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods, was employed, including a literature review on Indonesian autism research centers and in-depth interviews with experts from a special school and private therapy clinics in Indonesia. The study examines both beneficial and detrimental aspects of autism treatment, revealing societal misconceptions that perceive autism as a detriment, with therapeutic interventions viewed as the primary means of amelioration. Despite challenges, such as workforce limitations in educating children with autism, the study draws attention to the potential benefits of community-based initiatives in Germany, specifically the employment opportunities at Werkstätten (workshops), as a model for sustainable inclusion for individuals with autism in Indonesia. The research emphasizes the importance of such programs in enhancing autism literacy and preparing educators to foster better practices in young learners, ultimately contributing to the advancement of early childhood education across different cultural contexts.

Abstract

The transition from Society 5.0 to Society 6.0 presents significant challenges and opportunities in shaping early childhood character. This article aims to explore how technological evolution, particularly artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and robotics, influences the values education of young children. Using a qualitative literature review with an analytical-descriptive approach, this study analyzed open-access sources from 2019 to 2024, complemented by key foundational theories. The findings highlight the need for a holistic strategy involving schools, families, communities, government, and industry in shaping future-ready character. Key thematic areas include digital literacy, ethical technology use, emotional intelligence, and collaborative synergy across sectors. The study proposes a conceptual framework that integrates human values with digital advancements to support sustainable, inclusive character development in early childhood. These insights are expected to serve as a foundation for policy, curriculum, and innovation in early childhood education in the Society 6.0 era.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges and obstacles to implementing transformative learning in early childhood education institutions in Palestine, using the Salfit Governorate as a case study. Transformative learning, which emphasizes critical reflection, learner empowerment, and personal growth, remains underutilized in Palestinian kindergartens due to various systemic, cultural, and institutional barriers. A quantitative cross-sectional survey methodology was adopted, and data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 262 principals and teachers working across 56 kindergartens in the region. The results indicated a high level of perceived challenges across five key domains: curriculum rigidity, insufficient professional development, lack of resources, societal resistance, and weak institutional support. Significant differences in perceptions were found based on job title, academic qualification, yesrs of experience, type of kindergarten, and geographic location, while academic qualification showed no significant effect. The study highlights systemic challenges, with institutional support gaps (reported by principals) and rural cultural resistance emerging as critical barriers. These findings suggest that transformative learning in Palestine may require context-sensitive strategies, though further research is needed to evaluate specific reforms.

Abstract

This study explores the development of computational thinking (CT) skills in early childhood through unplugged coding activities, focusing on the perspectives of teachers as observers and facilitators. Using an assessment instrument centered on four core CT components such as decomposition, algorithmic thinking, pattern recognition, and abstraction, the research was conducted with children aged 5–6 years engaging in a fruit skewer-making activity. The results demonstrate a strong alignment between assessment findings and teacher observations. Children showed progress in following procedural steps, recognizing and replicating patterns, breaking down tasks, and abstracting essential information. Teachers reported increased motivation, confidence, and problem-solving abilities among the children. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating unplugged coding into early childhood curricula and highlight the crucial role of teachers in creating supportive learning environments. The study suggests that teacher insights are essential for bridging theory and practice in CT education and recommends institutional support for resources and training to sustain effective implementation.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency plays a vital role in early childhood as a foundation for communication and literacy development. However, many children still face difficulties in expressing their thoughts verbally during classroom interactions. This study was conducted to examine the impact of audio-visual media on improving speaking skills among Group B kindergarten students at RA DDI Pasangkayu. A quantitative approach was employed using a one-group pre-test–post-test design involving 24 children. Data were collected through observation of children’s speaking performance before and after learning with audio-visual media. The results showed a significant improvement in speaking proficiency, with an increase in the “Very Well Developed” category from 0% to 43.05%. The paired t-test analysis obtained a t-value of 14.454, which exceeded the t-table value of 2.06866 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant effect. These findings confirm that the integration of audio-visual media effectively enhances children’s speaking abilities. This study provides recent empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of audio-visual learning in early childhood education. The findings contribute to enriching learning practices by encouraging teachers to adopt engaging and interactive media to support children’s language and communication development.
