The Journal of Foundational Learning and Child Development is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge and practice in the field of early and primary education. The journal focuses on the developmental period from birth through the early years of primary/elementary schooling (ages 0–8), with an emphasis on foundational literacy and numeracy, curriculum and pedagogy, as well as cognitive and socio-emotional development. It provides a platform for scholarly work on inclusive and special education, effective learning environments, assessment practices, and the professional development of educators. The journal also engages with research on education policies and early learning systems that support equitable and high-quality educational experiences for all children. Through interdisciplinary and empirical contributions, the journal aims to inform theory, policy, and practice in early and foundational learning contexts. Aim and Scope List: ✅ Early childhood education (0–8 years) ✅ Primary/elementary education ✅ Foundational literacy and numeracy ✅ Curriculum and pedagogy ✅ Cognitive and socio-emotional development ✅ Inclusive and special education ✅ Learning environments and assessment ✅ Teacher professional development ✅ Education policy and early learning systems

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The primary purpose of this research is to investigate the struggle of forming adolescent identity through terminal illness as depicted in the film Clouds (2020), directed by Justin Baldoni. The study analyzes the real-life story of Zach Sobiech, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, through the lens of Erikson's psychosocial theory, specifically focusing on the stage of identity versus role confusion. Materials and methods: This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using content analysis methodology. Primary data was collected from the film Clouds (2020) through systematic viewing and dialogue analysis. Secondary data included scholarly articles, theses, and relevant literature discussing the film and psychosocial development theory. Data analysis focused on identifying elements related to Erikson's identity versus role confusion stage, examining how Zach's limited life expectancy influenced his identity formation process. Results: The analysis reveals that terminal illness significantly accelerates the adolescent identity formation process. Despite facing osteosarcoma, Zach Sobiech demonstrated remarkable resilience in pursuing his dreams of becoming a singer, maintaining relationships, and creating meaningful experiences. The study identifies three key themes: the intensification of identity exploration under time constraints, the role of creative expression in identity formation, and the impact of terminal illness on developmental priorities and life meaning. Conclusions: Terminal illness does not necessarily impede adolescent identity formation but rather transforms and accelerates the process. The research demonstrates that when faced with mortality, adolescents may develop a more focused and purposeful approach to identity development, prioritizing authentic self-expression and meaningful relationships. This study contributes to understanding how extreme life circumstances can influence psychosocial development and provides insights for educators and healthcare professionals working with terminally ill adolescents.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of structured game-based interventions in improving gross motor skills among deaf-mute children in a special needs elementary school setting. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 36 students (ages 7-12 years) from a special needs elementary school in Binjai city, North Sumatra. Participants were randomly divided into experimental (n=18) and control (n=18) groups. The experimental group received 12 weeks of structured game-based motor skill interventions (3 sessions/week, 45 minutes/session), while the control group continued regular physical education. Gross motor skills were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3) pre- and post-intervention. Results: Statistical analysis using SPSS v27 revealed significant improvements in the experimental group's gross motor skills. The experimental group showed significant increases in locomotor skills (pre: M=42.3, SD=6.8; post: M=58.7, SD=5.2; p<0.001) and ball skills (pre: M=38.9, SD=7.1; post: M=52.4, SD=6.3; p<0.001) compared to the control group. Conclusions: Game-based interventions significantly enhanced gross motor skills in deaf-mute children. These findings support the implementation of structured play-based programs in special needs education settings.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between nutritional status, balance ability, and learning outcomes in triple jump performance among senior high school students at Budi Agung Medan, Indonesia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 120 students (60 males, 60 females) aged 16-18 years. Nutritional status was assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI) and body composition analysis. Balance was evaluated using the Stork Balance Stand Test and Y-Balance Test. Triple jump performance was measured through standardized technique assessment and distance achievement. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis with SPSS v27. Results: Significant positive correlations were found between nutritional status and triple jump performance (r = 0.624, p < 0.001), balance ability and triple jump performance (r = 0.712, p < 0.001), and nutritional status and balance ability (r = 0.543, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that balance ability (β = 0.465, p < 0.001) and nutritional status (β = 0.287, p < 0.01) jointly explained 58.7% of the variance in triple jump learning outcomes. Conclusions: Nutritional status and balance ability are significant predictors of triple jump learning outcomes in adolescents. Physical education programs should incorporate nutritional education and balance training to optimize athletic performance development.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to analyze the motivational factors influencing elementary school students' participation in swimming lessons at IT Unggul Ad Durrah Medan, Indonesia, and to identify key predictors of student engagement in aquatic activities. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted with 156 elementary students (ages 7-12) from IT Unggul Ad Durrah. Data collection utilized the Sport Motivation Scale-28 (SMS-28) adapted for swimming contexts, demographic questionnaires, and participation records. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS v27, including descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression. Results: Results revealed that intrinsic motivation (M = 4.23, SD = 0.87) was the strongest predictor of swimming participation, followed by identified regulation (M = 3.89, SD = 0.92). Significant gender differences were observed (p < 0.05), with female students showing higher levels of intrinsic motivation. Age was negatively correlated with external regulation (r = -0.34, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Intrinsic motivation significantly influences elementary students' participation in swimming lessons. Educational interventions should focus on fostering autonomous motivation while considering gender and age-related differences in motivational profiles.
