Abstract

This study examines oral motor development in children aged 0-12 months with a focus on functional and therapeutic aspects. The purpose of the study is to understand the pattern of oral motor development, influencing factors, and evaluate the effectiveness of various therapeutic methods applied. The qualitative research method was used by collecting data through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis at school. The results of the study showed that the initial suction reflex and stimulation from the environment played an important role in oral motor development. Oral muscle exercises and the use of technology such as oral vibrators have been shown to be effective in strengthening the oral muscles, improving chewing and speaking skills in children. However, there is controversy regarding the use of therapeutic tools, with some parents and therapy professionals preferring the natural approach. This study emphasizes the importance of parental education and their active involvement in the therapy process for optimal outcomes. The implications of this study are the need for a holistic approach and timely interventions to support healthy oral motor development, as well as the importance of flexibility in choosing a therapy method that suits the specific needs of the child.

Abstract

Learning innovation is very important because it can provide fun and meaningful learning experiences for young children. Cooking class activities in ECE are one application of Project Learning, which is an implementation of the Independent Curriculum that involves children actively in the learning process. This qualitative research aims to discover how ECE teachers design cooking class activities, how students are involved during the activity, and what aspects of development young children achieve through this activity. The research was conducted at the Open Flow Learning Centre, Badung, Bali, using observation, interviews, and documentation methods for 4 ECE teachers and twelve students (three boys and nine girls). Through observations, it was found that cooking class activities at this institution are unique because they involve students from collecting ingredients to handling leftover ingredients that are not used. It was also observed that children had independence and self-confidence when carrying out activities. Considering the many benefits children get from cooking class activities, it is hoped that ECE teachers in other institutions can implement this activity to maximize children's involvement and development.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the importance of an interest in reading from an early age in the hope of forming the nation's next generation with high quality and broad insight. A high interest in reading from an early age is an important foundation in forming a child's character and intellect. By reading, children can broaden their horizons and improve their qualities which will be beneficial for their future. One of the methods applied to foster interest in reading in young children is the "One Day One Story" activity, which is held every Monday to Friday. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with research subjects of early childhood aged 4-6 years. The data collection techniques used include observation, interviews and documentation to get an in-depth picture of the application and influence of the "One Day One Story" activity on children's interest in reading. The research results show that the implementation of the "One Day One Story" activity is effective in fostering interest in reading in young children. This can be seen from the children's enthusiasm in looking for story books and opening various book pages. Children become more interested in reading and exploring the stories provided. It is hoped that these results can make a contribution by showing that the "One Day One Story" activity can be an effective strategy for increasing interest in reading in young children.
