Abstract

Background: Early childhood represents a critical period for cognitive and memory development, including the ability to memorize and understand religious teachings such as hadith. However, field observations indicate that many children experience difficulties in memorizing hadith sequentially and recalling previously learned material. This condition highlights the need for innovative and developmentally appropriate learning approaches. Aims: This community service program aims to enhance early childhood memory in hadith memorization through a movement-based training approach. Methods: This program employed a training-based community service approach integrated with mentoring and evaluation. The implementation was conducted over one month, from October 29 to November 29, 2023, involving children aged 5–6 years and classroom teachers. The program consisted of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Activities included movement-based memorization training, guided practice sessions, and teacher mentoring. Data were collected through observation and documentation using predefined indicators and analyzed descriptively. Results: The results indicate a significant improvement in children’s memory and learning outcomes. Memory skills increased from 40% to 85%, while understanding and application of hadith improved from 35% to 80%. Children’s participation and cooperation increased from 50% to 90%, and positive behavioral changes improved from 45% to 85%. Teacher engagement also increased from 60% to 95%, indicating the effectiveness of the training approach. Conclusion: Movement-based training is effective in enhancing early childhood memory in hadith memorization. The integration of movement, practice, and mentoring creates engaging and meaningful learning experiences that support cognitive and behavioral development. This approach can be adapted as an alternative method in early childhood religious education.

Abstract

Background: Disadvantaged villages often face challenges such as low levels of education and limited access to technology, which hinder community welfare and development. These conditions also affect the quality of early childhood education (PAUD) as part of basic community services, requiring an integrated and asset-based approach to optimize local potential. Aims: This community service aims to empower communities in disadvantaged village areas through an integrated Student Community Service Program (KKN). Methods: This program employed the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, which focuses on leveraging local assets and community potential as the foundation for development. The program was implemented through participatory stages, including asset mapping, program planning based on local potential, implementation of activities such as skill training, digital literacy enhancement, and educational support, as well as evaluation and monitoring to ensure sustainability. Result: The program contributed to strengthening community capacity by identifying and utilizing local assets to support educational and economic activities. Students acted as facilitators, collaborating with the community to develop skills, improve digital literacy, and optimize local potential, which in turn supported the improvement of early childhood education practices. Conclusion: The integrated KKN program based on the ABCD approach is effective in empowering communities by utilizing local strengths. This approach not only enhances community welfare but also supports sustainable development in early childhood education.

Abstract

Background: Early childhood is a critical stage for developing independence in self-care; however, many children aged 2–3 years still experience difficulties in recognizing and practicing proper toilet training, highlighting the need for interactive and developmentally appropriate approaches. Aims: This community service program aims to enhance the knowledge and success of toilet training for children aged 2–3 years through interactive and engaging activities. Methods: This program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The planning stage involved identifying toilet training problems, conducting discussions with caregivers and parents, and designing interactive activities. The action stage focused on implementing toilet training practices through engaging and context-based activities. The observation stage involved monitoring and documenting children’s progress during the training process. The reflection stage included evaluating outcomes and identifying areas for improvement. Data were collected through observation and documentation and analyzed descriptively. Results: The results indicate improvements in children’s toilet training abilities, including increased independence, better understanding of toileting routines, and more consistent behavior. Children showed progress in recognizing the need to use the toilet and performing toileting activities with reduced assistance. Additionally, caregivers and parents reported positive behavioral changes and increased awareness of effective toilet training strategies. Conclusion: Interactive and context-based toilet training activities are effective in improving toilet training success among young children. The integration of structured activities, caregiver involvement, and continuous monitoring creates a supportive learning environment that promotes independence. This approach can be applied as an alternative method in early childhood care settings to support the development of essential self-care skills.

Abstract

Background: The integration of character education, particularly environmental stewardship, in early childhood education is often constrained by conventional teaching approaches that limit experiential learning opportunities. Aims: This community service program aims to implement a local wisdom-based practicum module to enhance environmental character development in early childhood learning. Methods: This community service program employed the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, involving collaborative processes between researchers and teachers through four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The program began with a needs analysis and joint module design, followed by implementation through hands-on activities, while data were collected through observation and interviews and analyzed descriptively to evaluate program effectiveness. Result: The community service results indicate a significant increase in children’s engagement and enthusiasm in practice-based learning, along with the development of pro-social and environmental behaviors such as cooperation, cleanliness awareness, and scientific curiosity. In addition, teachers’ capacity as partners improved in understanding and implementing the local wisdom-based practicum module. Approximately 90% of participants showed positive responses, and the resulting practicum module was considered practical, applicable, and has potential for sustainable use and replication. Conclusion: The implementation of a local wisdom-based practicum module through a community service program effectively enhances children’s environmental character and supports experiential learning in early childhood education. It also strengthens teachers’ capacity in applying innovative and contextually relevant instructional approaches. Therefore, this program offers a practical, sustainable, and replicable model for integrating character education in early childhood settings.
