Abstract

It is important to pay attention to the early childhood learning environment at this time, this has something to do with the leadership style of the school principal. Constraints that are still a problem because the initiative of a leader is still low in carrying out dynamic updates and changes in the Early Childhood Education (ECE) environment, so this can have an impact on performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between transformational leadership and building partnerships on the performance of ECE principals. The methodology uses quantitative data collection methods based on observation and questionnaires. The research sample consisted of 30 ECE principals selected by random sampling with consideration of school qualifications and experience as school principals. The data analysis technique uses inferential statistics with the SPSS-assisted Independent Samples Test. The findings show that transformational leadership and building partnerships have a significant relationship to the performance of ECE principals. The transformational style can delegate tasks or jobs to teachers, and involve teachers in decision making, pay attention to subordinates, and create a sporty and family work environment. Building partnerships can be started with parents and can then be carried out with the community environment to increase electability and synergy of strong cooperative relationships in achieving optimal educational goals.

Abstract

Teacher education programs are essential components in providing quality education for children. This study attempted to explore the contribution of Teacher Education programs in acquainting preprimary school teachers with the guiding principles, relevant curriculum, the learning cycles of children, and fit instruction and assessment methods for children in practicing curricular activities at preprimary schools. A descriptive survey approach was used in the study. Data were collected from 221 randomly selected graduating class trainees and five purposively selected trainers using questionnaires, interviews, and discussions. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, and thematic analysis, and qualitative data were summarized using the following logic. High percentages of respondents did not favor the contribution of Teacher Education programs in acquainting trainees with the guiding principles of child development and learning, appropriateness of the curriculum, learning cycles of children, practice of relevant curricular activities, application of fit methods of instruction and assessment means for children at the expected levels. Besides, problems were reported in teacher education programs, such as unsuitable materials, challenging courses, negative attitudes toward the profession, time shortages, and the absence of centers for skill development. Parallel measures to be taken to alleviate the problems were suggested. Thus, the study has its benefits in indicating the limitations of the teacher education program to take measures in the future at preprimary schools in Ethiopia and the world at large.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the early childhood language acquisition process at KB Aisyiyah 1 Balun, Cepu District, Blora Regency. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. Two research subjects were taken in each group, so there were six research subjects. The data collection method used several techniques, namely observation, listening, recording, and note-taking. The research results show that children can achieve language competence at the phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics levels. Language acquisition results in phonology show that the phonemes /r//l/ sound faint. Phoneme decay is the melting of phonemes due to morphological processes. The /l/ phoneme decays when the/y/phoneme's sound changes to the /l/ phoneme. The results of language processing in the field of morphology are that children aged two years have just mastered the basic morphemes that are pronounced even though the pronunciation is not yet clear. Meanwhile, many sulfides (- kan ) are found in children aged four years. Early childhood language acquisition in the area of syntax identified phrase errors, children's composition of first language sentences was mixed up, and sentence structures were adequate, although sometimes grammatically, sometimes inverted. Meanwhile, language acquisition at the semantic level tends to use denotative Meaning in every utterance.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the practice of play activities in enhancing the internal locus of control among young children at Haramaya University's Model-Preschool. Employing a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design, data was obtained through semi-structured interviews with four preschool teachers, one preschool principal, and observation of play activities. The data was analyzed through the thematic data analysis technique, from which three major themes emerged: utilization of play activities, teachers' participation in facilitating play activities, and challenges encountered while facilitating play activities. The study's finding indicate that various play activities, such as open-ended play, problem-solving play, and creativity play, are employed to promote this crucial developmental skill. The preschool teachers reported employing a range of strategies to facilitate play activities that foster an internal locus of control, such as providing children with choices and constructive feedback. However, bottlenecks such as an inaccessible school environment, large class sizes, inadequate preschool teacher training, and insufficient resources were also identified as limiting factors in facilitating play activities that encourage an internal locus of control. Ultimately, the research concludes that participation in play activities can effectively aid in the development of young children's internal locus of control. Teachers who intentionally provide children with opportunities to make decisions, solve problems, and receive positive feedback can assist in cultivating a sense of self-efficacy and the conviction that they have control over their own outcomes.

Abstract

Although we are now seeing a point where we can control the pandemic, its impact on education remains a major highlight. Schools around the world have been forced to make deep changes by switching to distance learning and adopting blended learning methods that integrate face-to-face and online learning. This transition not only creates challenges for students, teachers, and parents, and creates new opportunities to improve the way we educate and connect. This research explores the views of Early Childhood Education teachers in Semarang regarding School Connectedness and parent support during the pandemic. With 74 Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B teachers as participants, using the Ex post facto quantitative method in the 2021-2022 school year, this research utilized an online questionnaire via Google Forms. Ordinal regression analysis shows that parental support significantly influences School Connectedness (Wald = 7.318, sig. = 0.007). The novelty of the research lies in its focus on PAUD teachers in Semarang who are facing the challenges of distance learning and blended learning due to the pandemic. The benefits involve a deeper understanding of the crucial role of parental support in strengthening teacher-school-student relationships. The results of the research can be a basis for schools, teachers and parents to develop strategies to improve School Connectedness in the future, especially in an ever-changing learning context. Thus, this research contributes to our understanding of the factors that influence the quality of education in the pandemic era.

Abstract

This study explored community attitudes toward home-based male caregivers for daycare children in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. The aim was to understand perspectives on using male versus female caregivers. Respondents included equal numbers of married men and women aged 30-50 years old. The study asked about their willingness to use male caregivers, reasons behind their decision, expected impacts on children, and need for societal change. The study took place in Ogbomoso South and North Local Government of Nigeria, where 32 parents and prospective parents were surveyed about their attitudes toward home-based male caregivers for daycare children. A qualitative approach was used, with accidental sampling. Inductive thematic analysis elicited key themes shaping attitudes and norms. A prevalent theme was associating caregiving with inherent female capabilities and maternal duties - many felt women naturally provide superior nurturing and care while men lack these innate aptitudes. Alongside this was strong distrust of males with children, stemming from abuse and misconduct fears. However, some felt gender irrelevant, professing egalitarian ideals. But pursuing equality conflicted with lingering scepticism about men's care motivations. It's apparent that parents lack a framework for choosing caregivers yet choose for their children. Such a framework could help bridge the gender inequality gap in caregiving.
