Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model on higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in early childhood. This study used a pre-experimental design  with the One Group Pretest-Posttest model, involving 15 children aged 5–6 years in a private kindergarten in the Gatot Subroto area. The PBL model is applied through activities that allow children to observe phenomena, identify problems, design solutions, and draw conclusions independently. Data collection was carried out through observation of high-level thinking skills at two stages, namely before and after PBL treatment. The results of descriptive statistical analysis showed an increase in the average score from the pretest by 26.67 to 52.53 in the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test showed a significance value (2-tailed) = 0.001 < 0.05, which indicates a significant effect of the application of PBL on the improvement of children's high-level thinking skills. These findings suggest that PBL is effective in developing analytical, critical, and creative thinking skills in early childhood. The implication of the results of this study is the need to integrate problem-based learning models in the early childhood education curriculum as a strategy to optimize cognitive development and children's readiness to face future challenges

Abstract

Critical thinking is a vital 21st-century skill that should be nurtured from an early age. One effective approach is through the use of digital storybooks based on local culture. Despite its rich cultural heritage, including the traditions of the Baduy people, integration of local culture into early childhood education in Lebak Regency remains limited. A survey of 40 kindergarten teachers found that only 7 schools had access to reading materials related to Lebak’s local culture. This study aimed to develop a digital storybook titled “Hitam Putih Pakaian Adat Suku Baduy” using the ADDIE model. Validation results from media experts (95%), early childhood education experts (83%), communication experts (93%), and prospective users (91%) indicated that the product was highly feasible. Field trials with 10 children aged 5–6 years showed that the most developed critical thinking skills were evaluation and self-regulation, with average scores across six aspects ranging from 2.6 to 3.8 on a 4-point scale. Interpretation and inference were also strong, while analysis and explanation required additional support. These findings suggest that culturally based digital storybooks can effectively foster critical thinking in early learners, but teacher involvement remains essential to enhance deeper reasoning and understanding.

Abstract

Integrating computational and collaborative thinking from early childhood is essential in the digital era. This study examined the implementation of Unplugged Coding computer-free programming at the Larasati Early Childhood Education Cluster, with a focus on children’s cognitive and social development. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation at TK Islam An-Nur Kedungringin. Activities involved grid floor games, number dice, and directional arrows, with teachers acting as facilitators. Results showed that 87.5% of children demonstrated improvement in computational thinking components such as sequencing, pattern recognition, decomposition, and algorithmic reasoning. Moreover, 81.2% of children exhibited enhanced collaborative skills, including turn-taking, group problem-solving, and active communication. Contributing factors included structured planning, engaging learning tools, and a supportive environment. Limitations involved limited infrastructure and varying teacher readiness. The study concludes that Unplugged Coding is an effective, low-tech approach to foster 21st-century skills in early learners and recommends broader implementation supported by teacher training and curriculum integration.

Abstract

This study explores how the full day school learning system fosters independent learning among children aged 5–6 years at Semarang Multinational School. The research involved 12 children, 4 teachers, and 8 parents from diverse family and linguistic backgrounds. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings show that the application of the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), which is thematic and project-based, creates meaningful, contextual learning. Children are encouraged to initiate tasks, solve problems, and complete activities independently. Teachers serve as facilitators who guide rather than instruct directly, while a child-friendly environment and consistent routines reinforce autonomy. Parental support at home further strengthens independent behavior. Challenges include varied readiness levels among children, fatigue from long school hours, and inconsistent parental involvement. This study offers practical insights for educators and curriculum planners implementing full day school models to nurture independence and character development. The findings highlight the importance of integrating structured autonomy, collaborative learning, and family-school synergy in early education settings.

Abstract

Individuals across various occupations, including teaching, can incorporate play into their tasks to make their work more enjoyable, and this approach is known as playful work design. Personality traits influence how individuals approach their work, but there is limited research on how positive traits like playfulness relate to playful work design, especially for early childhood teachers. This study investigates the role of playfulness in fostering playful work design, with teacher well-being as a mediator. Data were collected from 358 early childhood teachers using the Adult Playfulness Trait Scale (APTS), the Playful Work Design Scale, and the Teacher Well-Being Scale (TWBS). The analysis used Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with Jamovi software. The results show that teacher well-being partially mediates the relationship between playfulness and playful work design. While playfulness directly affects playful work design, the effect is weak. In contrast, teacher well-being is much stronger in influencing playful work design. These findings highlight the importance of addressing personality traits and well-being to create enjoyable and effective work environments in early childhood educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an innovative and effective storytelling learning method to stimulate receptive and expressive language skills in early childhood. The main issue faced at Doa Ibu Early Childhood Education Kindergarten, Makassar is the low receptive and expressive language abilities of the children. The study uses a qualitative approach with the Lesson Study method, implemented over two cycles, involving 15 children. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive methods and the calculation of descriptive statistics with N Gain to assess the effectiveness of the learning. In the first cycle, audio-visual media was used in storytelling learning but was not effective in capturing the children's attention until the end of the story. The second cycle introduced an interactive approach by combining video visuals and hand puppets, which increased participation and active learning. The results of the study show that the combination of video-visual media and hand puppets in three learning steps— tonton cerita (watch the story), ulas cerita (review the story), and ekspresikan cerita (express the story)—abbreviated as TRUE Storytelling, proved to be an effective method for enhancing children's receptive and expressive language abilities

Abstract

This study investigates the emergent writing skills of Egyptian preschoolers within an online learning environment and explores parents' perceptions of early art practices' influence on these skills. While foundational fine motor and pre-writing activities are crucial for literacy development, specific research examining their impact in online contexts and parental views, particularly in Egypt, remains limited. This research addresses three primary questions: What is the level of emergent writing skills (including letter formation, word attempts, and drawing of pictures) among Egyptian preschoolers in an online learning environment? What are Egyptian parents' perceptions regarding their children's engagement in early art practices (such as drawing and colouring) and its influence on their emergent writing skills within the context of online learning? And what is the observed relationship between parents reported early art practices (drawing and colouring) and the demonstrated emergent writing skills in Egyptian preschoolers' writing samples within an online learning environment? A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, utilizing a parental survey and analysis of children's writing samples from ten Egyptian preschoolers (P01-P10) engaged in online learning. The parental survey assessed home environment, art practice engagement, and parental perceptions. Children's writing samples were analyzed for various emergent writing indicators, including pre-writing strokes, letter attempts, word formation, and drawing quality. Findings reveal a varied but generally developing level of emergent writing skills among the preschoolers, with a strong correlation observed between consistent early art engagement reported by parents and more advanced emergent writing indicators in children's samples. Parents largely perceive early art practices as highly beneficial for fine motor development and emergent literacy, emphasizing improved pencil grip, hand-eye coordination, and confidence. This study highlights the critical role of early art practices and parental involvement in supporting emergent writing skills, even within online learning settings. Recommendations include integrating structured art activities into online curricula and empowering parents with resources to facilitate pre-writing development at home. Further research is needed to explore longitudinal impacts and diverse online learning models.
