Abstract

This article explores the relationship between trait anxiety and academic achievement in children, highlighting the role of psychological factors in educational outcomes. Research using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-C) and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) suggests that high trait anxiety is associated with lower executive function skills, which negatively impact academic achievement. Trait anxiety impairs children’s ability to plan, organize, and control impulses—all important aspects of academic success. Studies have also shown that children with anxiety are more likely to have difficulty organizing tasks, procrastinate, and experience lower academic performance. The relationship between academic stress and anxiety symptoms has been found to be positive, with higher levels of stress associated with more intense anxiety. Intervention programs such as Skills for Academic and Social Success (SASS) and holistic stress management programs have been shown to be effective in reducing social anxiety and improving academic achievement. Additionally, emotional intelligence training has been shown to be beneficial in managing academic stress. Overall, interventions targeting executive function, social skills, and emotional intelligence are important for reducing academic anxiety and improving educational outcomes in children.

Abstract

Kekerasan seksual terhadap anak usia dini merupakan permasalahan serius yang mengancam perkembangan fisik, mental, dan sosial anak, terutama di wilayah lokalisasi yang memiliki tingkat kerentanan tinggi. Studi ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji berbagai strategi pencegahan dan penanganan kekerasan seksual pada anak usia dini di kawasan lokalisasi di Indonesia melalui pendekatan studi literatur. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak di wilayah ini mengalami risiko lebih tinggi akibat eksposur terhadap perilaku seksual dewasa, minimnya pengawasan, serta rendahnya pemahaman masyarakat mengenai pendidikan seksual anak. Strategi yang terbukti efektif mencakup pendidikan seksual berbasis media sejak dini, pelatihan guru PAUD, pengawasan digital, serta kolaborasi multipihak lintas sektor. Namun, implementasi program di lapangan masih menghadapi tantangan berupa resistensi budaya, keterbatasan sumber daya, dan lemahnya koordinasi. Penelitian ini menegaskan perlunya pendekatan komprehensif dan sensitif konteks dalam merancang program perlindungan anak di wilayah lokalisasi. Diharapkan hasil studi ini dapat menjadi landasan dalam pengembangan kebijakan dan praktik perlindungan anak yang lebih adaptif dan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji berbagai perspektif literatur terkini tentang pencegahan dan penanggulangan eksploitasi anak usia dini. Menggunakan metode studi literatur sistematis, penelitian ini menganalisis 48 artikel ilmiah terpilih yang dipublikasikan antara 2018-2023 dari database elektronik terkemuka. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi lima bentuk eksploitasi yang paling sering dilaporkan: eksploitasi tenaga kerja (43%), eksploitasi seksual (27%), pernikahan dini (18%), eksploitasi dalam konflik bersenjata (7%), dan eksploitasi daring (5%). Program pencegahan dan penanggulangan yang paling efektif adalah yang bersifat multisektoral dan mengintegrasikan aspek pendidikan, ekonomi, dan hukum. Program pemulihan trauma komprehensif menunjukkan tingkat keberhasilan tertinggi (73%) dalam jangka pendek, sementara program penguatan keluarga (42%) dan pendidikan berbasis sekolah (68%) efektif untuk pencegahan jangka panjang. Teknologi menawarkan solusi inovatif namun masih menghadapi tantangan terkait privasi data, kesenjangan digital, dan keberlanjutan program. Reformasi kebijakan yang efektif memerlukan komitmen politik yang kuat, pendekatan berbasis hak, dan mekanisme akuntabilitas yang jelas. Penelitian ini menyoroti pentingnya pendekatan berbasis bukti dengan kontekstualisasi lokal dan partisipasi aktif anak-anak dalam pengembangan dan implementasi program perlindungan.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly influenced various aspects of daily life, including early childhood education. With the increasing use of gadgets such as smartphones, tablets, and computers, these devices have become integral to many families' routines. While controlled use of gadgets has been found to enhance cognitive, language, and motor skills in young children, the potential risks associated with excessive screen time cannot be overlooked. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to screens can negatively impact social development, sleep patterns, and physical health. Furthermore, children who engage in unsupervised gadget use are at risk of encountering inappropriate content, which may hinder their understanding of appropriate social and emotional behavior. This literature review explores both the benefits and risks of gadget use among early childhood learners. It examines the role of gadgets in supporting educational outcomes and highlights the potential harms, emphasizing the importance of balanced and supervised screen time. The review also discusses the need for clear guidelines and parental involvement in managing screen time. The findings of this study aim to provide evidence-based recommendations for parents, educators, and policymakers to ensure that digital tools are used effectively and responsibly in early childhood education, fostering a healthy developmental environment for children.
