Abstract

Early childhood behavior often reflects a strong sense of curiosity and boundless exploration, which sometimes poses challenges for teachers. This study aims to explore the teacher's approach to fostering positive behavior in early childhood through a case study analysis of a child in Kindergarten A at Bina Anak Sholeh Kindergarten, Tuban. This student has a habit of grabbing his teacher's shirt or skirt, requiring special treatment to correct this behavior. Using a descriptive qualitative method and a case study approach, data were collected through direct observation, interviews with the teacher, and documentation analysis. The findings indicate that a personalized approach involving direct communication, explanations of politeness values, positive reinforcement, and redirection of activities can significantly reduce the frequency of this behavior. The results of this study are supported by several literature reviews that highlight the importance of empathy, positive reinforcement, and a conducive learning environment in developing early childhood character. This article provides practical contributions for teachers, parents, and education stakeholders in effectively managing early childhood behavior, particularly in the school environment. The applied approach also strengthens the relationship between teachers and children, creates a comfortable and inclusive learning atmosphere, and increases children's awareness of social and moral values.

Abstract

Moral development is interrelated with a person's self-control, which is also related to social rules. Honesty is a spiritual element, noble morals, and behavior that is in accordance with reality and truth. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of teachers in cultivating honesty in children and whether this role is running optimally. A qualitative approach with a case study method is the methodology of this study. The subjects were a class A teacher and a child. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed by reducing, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that there are 4 roles of teachers as well as inhibiting and supporting factors in cultivating honesty in children in kindergarten, namely: 1) Teachers as educators understand the characteristics of children first and then cultivate honesty. Teachers as role models exemplify honesty to children during classroom activities. As teachers, they have their respective duties, but still cultivate honesty in children and do not emphasize materialistic values. However, in each activity, teachers insert honesty habits. Teachers become consultants for parents in their children's moral development and become mediators for children to solve and share their problems. 2) Inhibiting factors experienced by teachers are internal factors of children who are still closed and the environment around the child. 3) The supporting factors are family and school. The results of this study are recommended for teachers, schools, and future researchers as a reference strategy for shaping children's morals.

Abstract

The 21st century demands 4C skills, including critical thinking, but these skills are still low in children aged 5–6 years, such as in Bintang Pertiwi Kindergarten and Pembina Bengalon 1 Kindergarten. Teacher-centered learning models and the lack of interactive media influence this condition. This study aims to develop and test the feasibility of an Android-based educational game, Mitraria, to stimulate children's critical thinking. The method used is R&D with the ADDIE model. In small group trials and also large group trials that researchers conducted on May 30–June 6, 2025, the Mitraria game showed a significant increase in results. Based on the trial results in this study, it states that the Mitraria game is very suitable/feasible and effective for use as an alternative medium to stimulate critical thinking skills in children aged 5–6 years, as well as providing an interactive, fun, and relevant learning experience with technological developments.

Abstract

Fostering independence through appropriate parenting styles is essential for a child's development. Independence needs to be cultivated to support a child's physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual growth from infancy through adulthood. This study aimed to examine the parenting styles employed by parents and the obstacles faced in developing the moral intelligence of children aged 5–6 years. A descriptive qualitative approach was used. The study subjects consisted of one parent and one child. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman (2014) framework, comprising four stages: data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The study, conducted in Gemuhan Asa Village, revealed that (1) the parenting style used to develop the child's moral intelligence involved monitoring the child's behavior to ensure it remained aligned with positive conduct, as well as engaging the child in discussions before the parents made decisions regarding activities or rules. Obstacles faced by the parents in instilling moral intelligence included the child's difficulty in heeding advice when in crowded environments, the child's tendency to become emotional when struggling with a task, and the influence of the environment when the child played outdoors. These findings demonstrate that a democratic parenting style is effective in helping to develop a child's moral intelligence.

Abstract

Cognitive development describes how a child's mind functions and evolves, enabling the development of thinking skills. The use of maze-based learning media can alleviate boredom during the learning process due to its interactive nature and the engaging way the material is presented to children. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of "number maze" media on the early numeracy skills of children aged 5–6 years at RA Perwanida 3 Palembang. This study employed a quantitative experimental method. The population consisted of 51 children in Group B at RA Perwanida 3 Palembang, with a sample size of 17 children. Data collection techniques included observation, testing, and documentation. Data analysis involved several tests: validity, reliability, normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. The hypothesis test was conducted using the t-test in SPSS for Windows (version 30), yielding a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.001 (p < 0.05). Thus, the significance level was below 0.05. It can be concluded that number maze media affects the early numeracy skills of children aged 5–6 years at RA Perwanida 3 Palembang.

Abstract

The mathematical abilities of children aged 4-5 years at Chiqa Smart Kindergarten Palembang are not optimal, and their ability to improve their mathematical abilities is still low. In addition, the available learning media have not been utilized optimally. This study aims to develop valid, practical and effective edutainment game media to improve the mathematical abilities of children aged 4-5 years. This study uses the Research and Development research method with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The subjects of this study were class A at Chiqa Smart Kindergarten Palembang. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation. Data analysis techniques used validity tests, practicality tests and effectiveness tests. Validity and practicality data were obtained based on questionnaire data analyzed using a Likert scale, and effectiveness tests were obtained from hypothesis testing. Based on the results of the study, the validity of material experts was 94 in the very valid category, media experts 95 in the very valid category, and language experts 80 in the very valid category. The practicality test of edutainment games based on the teacher response questionnaire was 91.66 in the very practical category, as well as the student response questionnaire for small-scale trials of 72.61 stated practical and large-scale trials of 86.86 stated very practical. The effectiveness test of edutainment games was seen in the hypothesis test using the t-test; the hypothesis was obtained: tcount = 19.043, while ttable = 0.514. Because tcount > ttable, H_a is accepted and H_o is rejected. From the results of the t-test, a sig value of 0.001 was obtained, with the criteria of sig <0.05; it can be said that there is a significant difference in children before and after receiving treatment. So, edutainment games are effective in improving the mathematical abilities of children aged 4-5 years at Chiqa Smart Kindergarten Palembang. The results of this study concluded that edutainment games to improve mathematical abilities are declared valid, practical, effective and suitable for use in learning.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh media loose part terhadap kemampuan mengenal huruf anak kelompok B di TK Negeri Pembina Tanah Abang Pali.. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis Pre Eksperimental Designs dengan design One Group Pretest-Posttes Designs. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di TK Negeri Pembina, Tanah Abang, PALI, dengan subjek anak kelompok B (usia 5-6 tahun). Penelitian kuantitatif eksperimental ini menggunakan desain One Group Pretest-Posttest Design untuk mengetahui pengaruh media loose parts terhadap kemampuan mengenal huruf anak. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 13 anak dipilih menggunakan purposive sampling dari populasi 31 anak. Penelitian ini menghasilkan bahwa, terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara media loose part terhadap kemampuan mengenal huruf  anak usia dini atau pada anak kelompok B dengan usia 5-6 tahun, yang diperoleh thitung = 4,806 sedangkan dk = 13-2=11 dengan ttabel = 1,795 karena thitung > ttabel (4,806 > 1,795). Maka H0 ditolak dan Ha diterima. Artinya ada pengaruh media loose part terhadap kemampuan mengenal huruf anak kelompok B di TK Negeri Pembina Tanah Abang Pali. Penggunaan Media Loose Part  yang sudah peneliti lakukan sangat berpengaruh di TK tersebut, dimana anak-anak di TK tersebut pertama kali melakukan kegiatan ini. Hal ini dikarena di TK tersebut hanya fokus kepada calistung (membaca, menulis, dan berhitung) sehingga selama kegiatan penelitian berlangsung anak-anak antusias mengikuti kegiatan penelitian sampai dengan selesai. Kegiatan yang membantu perkembangan kemampuan mengenal huruf anak akan terus dilanjutkan oleh tenaga pendidik di TK Negeri Pembina Tanah Abang Pali, dimana peneliti sudah memberikan berupa masukan dan kegiatan untuk membantu pendidik dalam mengembangkan kemampuan mengenal huruf anak usia dini.
