Abstract

Learning and development are in their most rapid period during the first 5 years. Early identification and detection of developmental aspects in infant and young children is essential to maximize the child's potential, and to detect developmental delays early, so that appropriate interventions can be given. Developmental screening tools used in Indonesia today are still translations of screening tools in other countries and there has been no testing regarding their validity and reliability. Therefore, this study aims to develop an Early Child Development Questionnaire for 0-2 Years (ECD-Q) that is suitable for Indonesian children as a source of developmental screening tools. In this research, the process of developing this ECD-Q for 0-2 years old has used the design of measuring instrument development by Cohen & Swerdlik (2009), which consists of a test conceptualization, test construction, test tryout, analysis and revision. The analysis carried out in testing the ECD-Q is the value of internal consistency testing (Cronbach's Alpha), validity testing using CVI, and item analysis testing. Based on trials conducted on 280 mothers with children aged 0-24 months (Age of Mother: M=20.42; SD=4.3 and Age of Children: M=11.3 months; SD=6.8 months). This ECD-Q is a valid instrument based on content validity by expert review. Gross motor, cognitive, and self-help skills are reliable, and most of the items are also valid and have good discriminatory power. Developmental aspects of fine motor skills and language are reliable and can still be sensitive to distinguish the abilities of children over 13 months. In this final version of the ECD-Q, items that have an I-CVI score below 0.8 and have an item-total correlation of below 0.1 are deleted because they are considered less sensitive to distinguish children's abilities. Based on this ECD-Q trial, we recommend further research to increase the number of samples so that they can better represent the condition of children in Indonesia. The results of large-scale trials can be continued to establish group norms from this ECD-Q. A test-retest test would also be very good to see the consistency of this measuring instrument.

Abstract

Online and home learning during the COVID-19 pandemic present several challenges and risks of learning loss that have a long-term impact on children. Because of this, kindergarten principals are encouraged to take practical and strategic steps in dealing with crises for the sake of the continuity and sustainability of education. Thus, this study aims at determining the effective leadership of kindergarten principals in dealing with the impact of learning loss in early childhood during the COVID-19 pandemic. The approach used is qualitative with a case study design and four research participants, namely three principals with different geographical backgrounds. Data were collected through interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The research findings show that all participants have had proactive leadership in the ability to choose responses to the pandemic to improve teaching quality, institutional resilience, and the development of further innovation. They took initiative and anticipatory steps to reduce the impact of learning loss, such as blended learning, visiting teacher programs, literacy movements, and parenting programs. Kindergarten principals with rural geographical conditions have not shown a win-win mindset, especially in the aspect of negotiating and finding alternative solutions together, as evidenced by the lack of school efforts to build agreements with school members in overcoming learning loss in children during online learning. Furthermore, kindergartens with suburban geographical conditions did not reflect self-honing behavior in terms of physical dimensions because the pandemic has added a burden to the mind and reduced rest time, which hinders the kindergarten principal in ensuring his physical health.

Abstract

Every child has the right to express their opinion and be heard. However, not all children have active verbal communication skills. There are also children aged 2-4 years who in their daily lives express their opinions, ideas or desires through messages or non-verbal communication. Gestures are a form of nonverbal communication. Early childhood children use gestures as a way to convey messages so that parents can understand them. Therefore, the role of parents is very important in understanding children's gestures as a form of non-verbal messages. This article aims to illustrate the importance of parents in understanding their children's gestures, so that children feel that their rights are fulfilled. This article is in the form of a literature study from various studies and research which will explain what gestures are, gestures in early childhood and the role of parents in understanding gestures. It is hoped that the results of this article can encourage parents to be more empathetic in listening to children's non-verbal forms of communication, namely gestures. So there will be more effective communication between parents and children.

Abstract

Despite the growing recognition of dyscalculia as a significant learning difficulty, awareness among educators remains a concern. This study delves into the awareness of dyscalculia among educators in Malaysia, aiming to shed light on its prevalence and implications for students' learning outcomes. Employing a survey methodology, data were collected from 153 educators and stakeholders across various fields. Descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze the data. The findings reveal that as of 2023, a staggering 47.1% of respondents in Malaysia still lack awareness of dyscalculia. This highlights a crucial gap in understanding within the educational community, potentially hindering support for students with dyscalculia. These results underscore the urgent need for targeted interventions to enhance dyscalculia awareness among educators. Addressing this gap could lead to improved identification and support for students with dyscalculia, ultimately enhancing educational equity and outcomes. This study underscores the importance of incorporating dyscalculia awareness into educational policy and practice to ensure inclusive and effective learning environments for all students.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the writing development of preschool children in Brunei Darussalam, a topic of growing interest given the nation's focus on literacy standards and the recognized importance of early literacy foundations. Six Bruneian preschool children aged five and six, categorized into three ability groups based on preschool literacy assessments, participated in the study. Data was collected using writing logs and semi-structured interviews. Findings indicate that all six children commenced their writing journeys at distinct developmental stages, irrespective of their assigned ability group. These diverse pathways in writing development were observed in high-ability children, middle-ability children, and low-ability children, revealing intriguing insights into their learning abilities and trajectories. This study contributes valuable insights to Brunei's focus on literacy standards, although it acknowledges the limitations of its small sample size and the potential benefits of future, larger-scale investigations, which would be able to draw more generalized conclusions.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) to compare early childhood care and education (ECCE) policy frameworks between Malaysia and four selected countries: Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, and Japan. The objective is to identify key policy elements that can inform the enhancement of Malaysia’s ECCE system, particularly in the areas of policy integration and the professionalization of ECCE educators. A total of 712 articles were initially retrieved through major academic databases. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 relevant articles were selected for in-depth analysis. The selected countries were chosen based on their exemplary ECCE systems, international rankings, and relevance to Malaysia’s policy aspirations ranging from structural similarities in public-private partnerships (e.g., Australia and New Zealand) to high-quality and publicly funded models (e.g., Sweden and Japan). Thematic analysis was employed to examine five major themes: curriculum and pedagogy, educator qualification standards, governance and accountability, access and equity, and cultural responsiveness. The findings reveal both unique and overlapping policy strategies, with emphasis on the role of integrated governance, continuous professional development, and culturally contextualized curricula. Malaysia stands to benefit from adapting international best practices in ways that suit its local sociocultural and administrative frameworks. The study also discusses the limitations of using secondary data and calls for more empirical, field-based studies in future research. This comparative approach contributes to a better understanding of how global ECCE policy trends can be translated into meaningful reforms within the Malaysian context.

This study investigated Steam approach in childhood teaching and learning: a comparative study in Indonesia and Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design, which was guided by two research questions and one hypothesis. The population of the study was early childhood and primary education teachers in Indonesia and Nigeria. Multistage sampling techniques were used to select 164 respondents. A researcher self-constructed instrument titled “Steam Approach in Childhood Teaching and Learning Questionnaire’ (SACTLQ), with a reliability index of 0.79. The data obtained was analysed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of T-test at 0.05 level of significance. The study brought to light the available documents and resources for STEAM teaching in Nigeria and Indonesia which include curriculum documents, teaching materials on instructional needs, lesson plans, and documentation and a comprehensive portfolio of teaching resources. The study's findings also revealed that the STEAM program's integration level in schools in Indonesia and Nigeria is high. Finally, there was no statistically significant difference in the level of STEAM program integration between primary schools in Indonesia and Nigeria. It was therefore recommended that the Nigeria and Indonesia governments keep formulating and implementing policies that support STEAM integration in schools alongside cross-encouraging cross-country collaboration between Nigeria and Indonesia in STEAM integration.

Abstract

Abstract— Early childhood Islamic education is important because it influences children’s spirituality, character, and worldview. However, in practice, many early childhood education institutions in Islamic countries are still oriented towards a memorization and dogmatic approach, which provides little space for the development of children’s critical thinking from an early age. This article aims to examine the integration of a fitrah-based education approach in transforming early childhood Islamic education, with a focus on its potential to foster critical awareness rooted in faith. This study employs a qualitative method, drawing on literature reviews, a case study, and interviews with the management and a teacher of the BATAS Study. This early childhood education institution implements a fitrah-based education approach. The results of the study show that education based on fitrah can encourage children to think reflectively, understand values contextually, and internalize Islamic spirituality meaningfully. The main challenges include changing the role of teachers from being full authorities in learning to facilitators and nurturers of the child’s maximum potential. The BATAS Study offers a real-life example of how integrating faith, freedom of thought, and emotional guidance can shape children into independent, empathetic, and socially aware individuals. This article recommends a more transformative and dialogical approach to Islamic education, one that humanizes children from an early age, aligning with their inherent nature.

Abstract

Abstract— Fostering disciplinary literacy skills from an early age is essential to prepare young children for educational success in the future. This study explores teaching strategies to develop disciplinary literacy, particularly in mathematics within early childhood education (ECE). Drawing on a literature review approach, this paper integrates three key frameworks: the Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), the 4Es heuristic model by Moje (2015), and the eight mathematical practices outlined in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The findings highlight three main strategies that considered effective in promoting disciplinary literacy in mathematics: (1) involving children with their social rich learning environment; (2) implementing play-based learning to foster cognitive, linguistic, and social development; and (3) facilitating conversation-rich instruction to encourage problem solving and mathematical reasoning. These strategies are essential in scaffolding children’s abilities to read, write, and comprehend mathematical concepts within disciplinary contexts. Additionally, introducing these practices in early education contributes to build a strong academic foundation for children and promotes critical engagement with disciplinary knowledge in later years.
