Abstract

This study aims to develop a digital flipbook picture storybook titled “Where Is Bibi Hiding?” as an interactive learning media to enhance early childhood reading skills. The research was conducted at TK PKK Maguwoharjo and employed the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The digital flipbook was created using Canva and Heyzine Flipbook, focusing on readability, visual attractiveness, and age-appropriate content for children aged 5–6 years. The one-group pretest–posttest design was used to analyze the effectiveness of the media. The results show that the digital flipbook successfully increased children’s motivation to read, improved letter recognition, and supported word comprehension. Teachers also reported that the media encouraged more active participation and engagement during learning activities. Overall, the digital flipbook picture storybook is considered feasible, practical, and beneficial as a learning media for early childhood reading development.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the contribution of religious education to the formation of moral behavior in early childhood by systematically analyzing the literature. The method applied is descriptive qualitative, by reviewing various relevant sources in the period 2020 to 2025. The research findings indicate that religious education plays a significant role in instilling fundamental moral values such as honesty, responsibility, empathy, and discipline from an early age. These values are the basis for the formation of children's character. The effectiveness of religious education is largely determined by the teaching methods applied, where an interactive approach that is in accordance with the child's developmental phase is more easily accepted and understood. In addition, collaboration between formal education in schools with the family and community environment determines the success of internalizing religious teachings. Challenges found in the implementation of religious education for early childhood include lack of training for teachers, low parental participation, and the impact of digital media. Therefore, religious education needs to be delivered holistically and relevantly, not only in the form of teaching teachings, but also through habits and real practices in everyday life. This study emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach in implementing religious education to form ethical and strong individuals from a young age.

Abstract

Early childhood learning involves children as the center of learning and meaningful and enjoyable activities. However, there are problems that there are still some who have not implemented problem-based learning models, there are still many learning that are not child-centered, and limited facilities and teacher skills in creating learning media that are in accordance with the times. This study aims to determine the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model in developing critical thinking skills of children aged 5-6 years at Pembina Boyolali State Kindergarten in the 2024/2025 Academic Year. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the research location at Pembina Boyolali State Kindergarten and the research subjects are class B3 teachers. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, documentation. Data analysis is carried out through the process of data condensation (Condentation), Data Presentation (Display Data), Drawing Conclusions / Verification. The results of the study show that the application of the Problem Based Learning model is carried out systematically through 5 stages, namely (1) Orientation of students, (2) Organizing students, (3) Guiding individual and group investigations, (4) Developing and presenting work results, (5) Analyzing and evaluating the problem-solving process. This model encourages children's active involvement in the critical thinking process, such as finding problems, putting forward ideas, formulating solutions, and linking learning to real experiences. As in the process of flood simulation activities, children become sensitive to the relationship between garbage and floods, and apply positive behavior in disposing of garbage in its place. The application of Problem Based Learning significantly supports the development of 21st century skills, especially critical thinking

Abstract

This literature review looks at fifteen studies from around the world that were published in the past five years. These studies focus on how teachers’ actions influence the development of religious character in young children. The research shows that the way teachers behave during everyday activities, like religious rituals, moral conversations, and social interactions, helps children learn and feel the importance of spiritual and moral values. When teachers model religious behavior, children are more likely to copy prayers, become more independent in their worship, and learn important values like honesty, empathy, patience, and responsibility. When this kind of modeling is included in themed learning activities, it makes learning more interesting, helps children connect emotionally, and improves their understanding of religious values. The review also stresses the need for teachers to be consistent in their behavior, for families to support these values at home, and for schools to have policies that help build religious character. The review also talks about what teachers, school leaders, and researchers can do moving forward.

Abstract

Introducing financial literacy from an early age is increasingly important in response to rising consumptive behavior and financial risks among younger generations. This study aims to examine the relationship between early childhood financial literacy and family background, including parents’ occupations, parents’ educational levels, and children’s allowance. The study was conducted with 94 children from Group B in three early childhood education centers (PAUD) in Wanasaba District, East Lombok. Data were collected through observations and questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation tests. The results indicate that children’s financial literacy is categorized as “moderate,” with the highest scores found in the attitude dimension. No significant relationships were found between financial literacy and parents’ occupations (ρ = −0.202), parents’ educational levels (ρ = −0.044), or children’s allowance (ρ = 0.119). These findings highlight the importance of practice-based and habituation-oriented financial literacy learning strategies, implemented through collaboration between early childhood education institutions and families.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the intensity of watching animated films on the speaking ability of children aged 4-5 years. The researcher used a quantitative research type with an ex-post facto method. Sampling in this study used cluster random sampling with a sample size of 75 parents as respondents. Data collection in this study used a questionnaire method with an instrument in the form of statements that parents need to fill in to obtain data on the intensity of watching animated films and children's speaking ability. The data obtained were then analyzed using a simple linear regression test processed with the help of SPSS. The results of this study explain that the intensity of watching animated films has a positive effect on children's speaking ability as evidenced in the hypothesis test with a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. High frequency of watching will affect children’s speaking skills in terms of improving sentence structure, with a percentage of 25.6%. There needs to be selection as a form of adult supervision so that animated films can stimulate children’s speaking abilities.
