Abstract

The purposes of this research are 1) to determine the outcomeof children’s learning development towards the use of beginning calculation concepts using Manbota game tools; 2) to determine the outcome of the children’s development towards the use of beginning calculation concept using number cards game tools; 3) to determine the differences among the result of the study using Manbota and number cards. The research uses the non equivalent control group design. The T test shows that the average percentage of the experimental group 1 changes from 17.75 into 30.55. Meanwhile, the T test shows that the average percentage of the experimental group 2 changes from 19.65 into 22.25. It can be conclude that: 1) the result of children development in beginning reading and writing concept using the Manbota is proven by the experimental class 1 result; 2) the result of children development in beginning reading and writing concept using the Manbota is proven by the experimental class 2; 3) the difference in learning outcomes of the beginning reading and writing concepts using the game Manbota and card numbers is proven through the results of the smaller experimental group increase compared to the experimental group 1.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the impact of learning model and classroom management on the self-regulation of five-to-six-year-old children of Group B Kindergarten in Banten in 2017. It used research method of factorial design 2X2 to explain the difference of children’s self-regulation who got the treatment of learning model and classroom management. The research results: 1) there was an impact of learning model on self-regulation, 2) there was an impact of classroom management on self-regulation, 3) there was an interaction impact between learning model and classroom management on self-regulation, 4) children who were in the center-based classroom management and learned with learning cycle model had higher self-regulation than children who learned with scientific approach model, 5) children who learned with learning cycle model and were in the center-based classroom management had higher self-regulation than children who were in group classroom management.

An interviewed guideline was used to collect the information. A thematic framework was sorted from verbatim transcripts. The results of the study indicate that the most incorporate activities were hand washing, showering, toilet training, cleaning the ears, and cleaning the hairs. The least incorporated personal hygiene activities were cutting the nails and cover the mouth when getting flu and cough. Personal hygiene activities such as hand washing were used to keep our body healthy and far from bacteria were the most reason used by the teacher to explain to the children how important of personal hygiene was.

Abstract

The important role of character education in the child's psychological development is continually promoted as early as possible. By integrating the characters in accordance with the varied learning materials, the role of children in acquiring the character's values will be much better promoted. Integrating character-based thematic learning activities is one of the models in providing critical environment in the children’s development. Therefore, this study aims to 1) analyze the needs of character-based teaching materials model for early childhood in West Java, 2) design a character-based thematic learning model to help the acquisition of character values, and 3) validate the proposed model. 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. The activities offered in the model may provide, to some extent, the flexibility for the teacher to adapt the children’s different character acquisition.

Abstract

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.
