The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving interview data collection techniques, observation, and documentation with a research analysis approach according to Miles and Huberman. The findings of the study indicate that the neuroeducation program successfully helps children manage stress, increase their self-awareness, and improve social communication skills.

Abstract

This research explores the optimal application of the Child-Friendly School (SRA)-based approach across various cultural contexts to eliminate bullying and create a safe, comfortable learning environment. The study was conducted at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Jatinom Kindergarten in Blitar Regency, using a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data collection involved desk reviews, participatory observation, in-depth interviews with teachers, students, and parents, as well as focus group discussions (FGD). The data was analyzed through reduction, presentation, verification, content analysis, and interpretation. The findings reveal that the success of the SRA program hinges on three key factors: a well-structured program, such as class agreements and sessions focused on positive values; a supportive school environment, complete with counseling facilities and anti-bullying media; and active parental involvement in monitoring and reinforcing children’s values. This research suggests that implementing SRA not only helps reduce bullying incidents but also fosters an inclusive school culture and supports the development of positive student character. The study recommends extending the research to diverse regions and cultural settings to ensure the program's sustainability and to provide a foundation for more adaptive and inclusive education policies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of fatherlessness on the moral and religious development of 4-year-old children and explore moral and religious development in children, especially in the aspects of understanding ethical values, discipline, and introduction to religious teachings. The research is based on the importance of parenting by both parents in shaping morals from an early age. This study uses a Mixed Method approach, namely a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The research findings indicate that fatherlessness has a significant impact on children's moral and religious development. Children who grow up without a father tend to have difficulty internalizing moral and religious values. They are more dependent on mothers and peers in understanding social and religious norms. The results of the Two-Way ANOVA statistical test show that differences in moral and religious development between children growing up with and without a father are significant. This study recommends increasing the role of the extended family and society to replace the father's function, as well as a community-based approach to support the moral and religious development of children who experience fatherlessness.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the integration of Islamic values and a holistic approach in early childhood education. Character development has been emphasized as a national education priority in Indonesia, where education is mandated to produce individuals with intelligence, personality, and noble morals. Previous studies have shown that embedding Islamic principles into teaching fosters respect, empathy, and discipline among children, while a holistic approach supports balanced cognitive, emotional, and spiritual growth. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Findings revealed that first, teachers perceived Islamic values as essential for nurturing children’s behavior, emotional regulation, and social interaction. Second, the curriculum at Dewi Masyithoh III Kindergarten demonstrated flexibility, allowing educators to embed values seamlessly into classroom activities while maintaining academic objectives. Third, challenges were identified, particularly in the availability of teaching resources and professional development for teachers, indicating the need for systemic support to sustain value-based education. These findings align with previous research yet extend the discussion by highlighting practical integration within a holistic framework. The study contributes insights for curriculum improvement and recommends enhanced teacher training and resource provision.
