Abstract

Early Childhood Education plays a crucial role in shaping children’s character, moral values, and foundational abilities. However, PAUD ikhlas Sei Kera Hilir 1 continues to face limitations in learning facilities and infrastructure, which affect the effectiveness of the learning process. This study aims to analyze the impact of inadequate facilities on children’s learning experiences and to explore the roles of parents and the government in supporting the improvement of early childhood education quality. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving five informants: two early childhood teachers as primary informants, two parents, and one village administrative officer as supporting informants. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994), consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Content analysis and thematic coding were also applied, and data trustworthiness was ensured through source and methodological triangulation. The findings reveal that limited classroom space, a lack of educational play materials, and a narrow learning environment negatively affect children’s motivation to learn. Parental support remains limited due to economic constraints, while government assistance is primarily focused on children’s nutrition and health rather than educational facilities. In conclusion, inadequate learning facilities and infrastructure hinder the learning process at PAUD IKHLAS Sei Kera Hilir 1, highlighting the need for collaborative efforts among teachers, parents, and the government to improve the quality of learning facilities in early childhood education.

Abstract

Character education plays a crucial role in shaping students’ personalities as future leaders. However, in practice, a gap still exists between the understanding of character values and their implementation in everyday behavior. This study aims to describe the character profile of third-semester students at University X based on six character pillars—trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship—viewed from the aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and actions. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving 70 students from seven faculties. Data were collected using a Situational Judgment Test (SJT) that measured the knowledge, attitude, and action dimensions of each character pillar and were analyzed manually by classifying scores into low, moderate, and high categories. The results indicate that students’ character across the six pillars is categorized as high in the knowledge and attitude aspects, but moderate in the action aspect. These findings suggest that although students have a strong understanding of character values, their application in real-life actions still needs to be strengthened through learning processes and role modeling within the university environment.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education plays a crucial role in shaping children’s character, personality, and foundational skills during the critical early years of development. The rapid advancement of digital technology presents both opportunities and challenges for education, particularly in implementing engaging and adaptive learning strategies tailored to children’s developmental needs. This study aims to examine the urgency of early childhood education and to explore the role of digital technology in enhancing the effectiveness, innovation, and quality of learning processes. This research employed a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews and participant observation involving 16 participants, consisting of teachers and parents from Berlianta Education Foundation, Deli Serdang. The findings indicate that the integration of digital technology supports increased creativity, improved understanding of learning materials, and greater active participation among children. However, several challenges remain, including limited digital facilities, insufficient teacher training, and the potential risk of device dependency. The study concludes that strong collaboration among teachers, parents, and adequate institutional support is essential for creating modern, safe, and meaningful early childhood learning environments in an increasingly digital era.

Abstract

Career maturity is one of the important indicators of an individual's readiness to face the workforce. Students, as young individuals in the transitional phase between the educational world and the professional world, are expected to possess the ability to plan, explore, and make career decisions thoughtfully. This study aims to describe the level of career maturity among students based on the results of questionnaire analysis, as well as to identify aspects that need to be improved in the career development process. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach involving 32 third-semester students from the Guidance and Counseling program at University X. The research instrument used is a Career Maturity Scale consisting of 25 statements, covering four main aspects: Career Planning, Career Exploration, Career Decision, and Knowledge of the Working World. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics based on score norms from Indriyani (2020). The research results indicate that the majority of students have a high level of career maturity (87.50%), while 12.50% fall into the moderate category, and no respondents are in the low category. The Career Planning (90.63%) and Career Decision-Making (87.50%) aspects scored the highest, indicating that students have clear career directions and goals and are confident in making decisions. However, the Work Information aspect (31.25% high; 68.75% moderate) showed the lowest results, suggesting the need to enhance students' understanding of labor market dynamics and technological developments. Overall, this study confirms that students have good internal career readiness but still require reinforcement in external aspects through the provision of career guidance services, exposure to the industrial world, and improvement of digital career literacy.

Abstract

In online learning environments, student motivation has emerged as a major challenge, as learners are required to be more independent and manage their own time effectively. Nevertheless, online education also presents positive aspects. Students who are familiar with digital technology and appreciate time flexibility often demonstrate higher levels of learning motivation. Digital platforms provide opportunities for teachers to design learning activities that are varied, interactive, and adaptive, which may enhance students’ interest and engagement in the learning process. This study aims to examine how distance learning influences students’ learning motivation by considering several key factors, including digital interaction, motivation, learning satisfaction, the use of online platforms, environmental support, and technical constraints encountered during the implementation of online learning. The research employed a literature review method with a descriptive-analytical approach to explore empirical findings related to the impact of distance learning on student motivation. This method was selected to collect, analyze, and synthesize data from ten academic journal articles published during the COVID-19 pandemic. The reviewed articles addressed themes such as online learning, learning motivation, teacher–student interaction, learning satisfaction, digital platform utilization, educational policies, and challenges in implementing distance learning at both school and higher education levels. Data were obtained through searches in academic databases and repositories, including Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and institutional journal portals. Overall, the findings indicate that online learning remains less effective due to various challenges, such as limited internet connectivity, inadequate learning devices, low student motivation, and minimal interaction between teachers and students. As a result, students’ learning satisfaction, academic achievement, and learning character tend to decline, suggesting that distance learning has not yet been able to fully replace face-to-face instruction.
