Integrating character-based thematic learning activities is one of the models in providing critical environment in the children?s development.

The method used is research and development. In this study, there were three early child education studies in West Java selected based on the accreditation of BAN PNF of West Java region and for model validation, the two experts were involved to evaluate the activities provided and the model itself. Related to the needs of character-based learning activities, the schools still need variations in the learning process that integrates the characters. The current models used in the schools are in need to be enhanced for better effects on the children. In addition, in this model, the validation results indicate that this model meets aspects of the teaching materials approach and objectives, publicity, and content design, with minor improvements in the characteristics of instructional learning media and evaluation.

<![CDATA[The issue of access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education was captured in Target 2 of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) because the early childhood period is critical to children?s learning and development. One of the ways by which teachers can provide children with the quality early childhood development and pre-primary education is through effective early childhood assessment. Assessment is extremely important for determining children?s learning and developmental progress. In spite of this, teachers do not carry out effective assessment in many pre-primary schools in Nigeria. While previous studies have recommended that the teachers should be trained, research efforts have not been targeted at finding out if the teachers themselves perceive that they need training in early childhood assessment practices. Consequently, this study examined if teachers in Ondo West Local Government Area perceive that they need training in early childhood assessment. The survey research design was adopted. Sample comprised two hundred and eighty eight pre-primary schools teachers from both public and private schools. An instrument titled ?Early Childhood Assessment Training Needs Questionnaire (ECATNQ)? was used. Data was analysed using percentage, mean and standard deviation. Pre-primary school teachers perceived that they need training in early childhood assessment. The implications of this finding for the achievement of Target 2 of SDG 4 were discussed. It was recommended among others that Ondo State Universal Basic Board and private school administrators should organise workshop and seminars for pre-primary school teachers on early childhood assessment.]]>
