type: item
description: This study aims to develop the Alfabox learning media and to determine its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving early childhood letter recognition skills. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of this study were Group B children aged 5–6 years at TK Al Hidayah Karangbendo. The analysis stage showed that most children still had difficulties in recognizing letters, such as naming letters, distinguishing letter shapes, and connecting letters with their sounds. Therefore, the Alfabox media was developed as a concrete, attractive, and easy-to-use learning tool. The results showed that the Alfabox media was highly valid based on expert validation, with a score of 98% from media experts and 92% from material experts. In addition, the media was considered practical, as indicated by a 98% positive response from teachers and 100% implementation of the learning process. In terms of effectiveness, the Alfabox media was able to significantly improve children's letter recognition skills, with an N-gain score of 0.8 in the high category. Overall, the Alfabox media proved to help children learn letter recognition more easily, enjoyably, and interactively.

Peran Orang Tua dalam Menguatkan Kemampuan Perlindungan Diri Anak Usia Dini dari Kekerasan melalui Storytelling Keluarga
type: item
description: This study aimed to analyze the role of parents in strengthening early childhood self-protection skills through family-based storytelling as an effort to prevent violence. This research employed a qualitative case study approach involving 10 children aged 5-6 years, 10 parents, and 2 teachers at TK Bina Insan Barabai. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed that parents’ active involvement in storytelling activities improved children's self-protection abilities, including recognizing body boundaries, understanding risky situations, and confidently saying "no" to inappropriate treatment. Furthermore, storytelling strengthened emotional bonding between parents and children, enhanced children's self-confidence, and improved their communication skills in expressing discomfort. Consistency in delivering educational messages through stories was identified as a key factor in achieving positive outcomes. Therefore, family-based storytelling can serve as an effective preventive strategy to protect young children from various forms of violence.

Internalisasi Nilai Spiritual Islam Anak Usia Dini Melalui Praktik Sholawat Wahidiyah di TK Miftahul Ulum Tlogobedah
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the process of internalizing Islamic spiritual values in early childhood through the practice of Sholawat Wahidiyah, as well as to identify the internalized values along with their supporting and inhibiting factors. This study employs a qualitative method, specifically a field study (field study). Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using Robert K. Yin’s model. The results indicate that the internalization of values occurs through three interconnected stages: sensory adaptation (listening), behavioral participation (imitating movements), and interpretation through the principle of Lillah-Billah, which can be understood as a form of spiritual scaffolding consistent with Bandura’s social learning theory and Piaget’s theory of moral development. The spiritual values successfully internalized include awareness of God (tauhid), honesty (shiddiq), responsibility (amanah), inner peace, emotional regulation, discipline, gratitude, as well as empathy and social concern. The main supporting factors are the consistency of daily practice, teacher role modeling, and school-family synergy, while inhibiting factors include children’s limited attention spans, differences in family backgrounds, and parents’ lack of understanding regarding the values in the Sholawat Wahidiyah. This study offers a novel contribution as the first empirical study to link the practice of Sholawat Wahidiyah with the internalization of spiritual values at the early childhood education level, and proposes a holistic character education model grounded in the traditional wisdom of Nusantara Islam that aligns with the elements of Religious Values and Moral Character in the Merdeka Curriculum.

AI-Assisted Learning in Early Childhood Education: Opportunities and Challenges for Supporting Cognitive Development - A Literature Review
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the opportunities and challenges of AI-assisted learning in supporting cognitive development in early childhood education and to examine its implications for developmentally appropriate educational practices. This study employed a qualitative approach using a library research method through the analysis of various scholarly sources, including international journal articles, academic books, and relevant research reports. Data were collected through documentation techniques from scientific publications retrieved from reputable academic databases and analyzed using content analysis and thematic analysis to identify key themes, patterns, and relationships among concepts. The findings indicate that AI-assisted learning offers significant opportunities to support early childhood cognitive development through personalized learning experiences, increased learning engagement, and the enhancement of critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and cognitive flexibility. However, the implementation of AI also presents several challenges, including excessive screen time, reduced social interaction, data privacy concerns, ethical issues, and limited teacher readiness to integrate AI technologies into educational practices. The study further reveals that the effectiveness of AI-assisted learning depends on its alignment with children's developmental characteristics, play-based learning principles, meaningful social interaction, and the active role of teachers as learning facilitators. This study contributes a comprehensive synthesis of the opportunities, challenges, and implications of AI-assisted learning in early childhood education, providing a foundation for the development of innovative, ethical, and child-centered educational practices.

Peran Game Edukatif Dalam Meningkatkan Kesiapan Sosial Emosional Anak Pada Masa Transisi PAUD ke SD
type: item
description: This study is motivated by the importance of children’s social-emotional readiness during the transition from Early Childhood Education to Elementary School. In this phase, children need self-confidence, peer interaction skills, and emotional regulation skills to adapt to a more formal learning environment. This study aims to explore the role of the educational game Endless Alphabet in improving children’s social-emotional readiness during the transition from early childhood education to elementary school. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The subjects were 20 children aged 5 to 6 years at RA Raudhatul Hidayah Sindang Laut. Data were collected through observation, interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation of children’s learning activities. The results show that the use of the educational game Endless Alphabet had a positive impact on children’s social-emotional readiness. The most dominant improvement appeared in self-confidence, as children became more willing to answer questions, follow instructions, and present their game results. Social interaction also improved through behaviors such as taking turns, helping peers, and playing together. In addition, children showed better emotional regulation, including being more patient, less easily frustrated, and more willing to try again after failure. This study concludes that Endless Alphabet can serve as a learning medium that supports children’s social-emotional readiness when used purposefully and accompanied by teachers and parents.

Peran Media Loose Parts dalam Mendukung Perkembangan Bahasa Anak Usia Dini: Studi Literatur
type: item
description: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran media loose parts dalam mendukung perkembangan bahasa anak usia dini. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi literatur (library research), yang dilakukan melalui analisis berbagai sumber ilmiah berupa artikel jurnal, buku, dan laporan penelitian yang relevan. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi dokumentasi dengan menelusuri database akademik seperti Google Scholar dan sumber ilmiah lainnya.

Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Lingkungan Untuk Meningkatkan Karakter Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun
type: item
description: Character development in early childhood is a crucial foundation for developing positive behaviors and habits that will influence their future lives. One relevant approach to support this process is an environment-based learning model, which provides children with opportunities to learn through real-life experiences and direct interaction with their surroundings. This study aims to describe the application of an environment-based learning model to improve the character of 4-5-year-old children at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 42 Kindergarten in Gresik. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, with the subjects consisting of the principal, a teacher, and two 4-5-year-old children selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results show that environment-based learning implemented through the Sedekah Sampah (Trash Charity), Operasi Lingkungan (Environmental Operation), and Garden for Education programs fosters caring, responsibility, and cooperation in children. Caring is evident in increased awareness of maintaining environmental cleanliness, responsibility is evident in children's consistency in carrying out assigned tasks, while cooperation develops through the ability to share roles, help friends, and complete activities together. These findings suggest that environment-based learning can be an effective strategy for instilling character values in a natural, meaningful way, and in accordance with the developmental characteristics of early childhood.

Peran Guru Dalam Pengembangan Karakter Religius Anak Melalui Pembiasaan Kegiatan Doa Harian
type: item
description: This study aims to describe the role of teachers in developing children's religious character through daily prayer habits in An-Najah Kindergarten Group B. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach with one teacher as an informant who was selected purposively. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model. The results showed that teachers act as facilitators, guides, motivators, and role models in the daily prayer habits through activities such as reciting prayers, Dhuha prayers, reading the Quran, and repeated memorization integrated into daily activities. Teachers also involve parents to strengthen these habits at home. These habits contribute to the development of children's religious character, which is manifested through the ability to memorize and instill prayers as well as the emergence of discipline, responsibility, and adherence to religious values. The success of this program is supported by the role of teachers, parental involvement, and the religious environment, while obstacles include differences in child characteristics and limited teaching staff. The findings of this study emphasize the importance of collaboration between teachers, families, and schools in developing the religious character of early childhood.

Kreativitas Anak Usia Dini dalam Perspektif Pembelajaran Coding: Sebuah Kajian Literatur
type: item
description: Creativity is one of the important developmental aspects that needs to be stimulated from an early age. As the digital era evolves, coding education (computer programming) for early childhood has received increasing attention as an approach with strong potential to stimulate children’s creativity. This literature review aims to analyze the relationship between coding education and the development of creativity in early childhood. The method used is a systematic literature review, tracing scientific articles from various databases such as Springer, ScienceDirect, Frontiers, ERIC, and PubMed Central. The results of the review show that coding learning through various media both screen-based (such as ScratchJr) and physical-based (such as Educational Robotics) has been shown to significantly improve creativity, computational thinking, problem-solving, and 21st-century skills in early childhood. In addition, project-based and play-based pedagogical approaches are more effective in fostering creativity than highly structured approaches. The implications of this study emphasize the need to integrate coding learning comprehensively into the early childhood curriculum, accompanied by adequate teacher training.

Pola Rentang Perhatian Anak Usia 4–5 Tahun dalam Pembelajaran Berbasis Sentra: Studi Kasus di TK Alam Yaa Bunayya
type: item
description: Attention span is a fundamental aspect of early childhood cognitive development, as it influences children's ability to participate in learning activities, follow instructions, and complete assigned tasks. This study aims to analyze the attention span patterns of children aged 4–5 years in center-based learning at TK Alam Yaa Bunayya, identify the factors influencing fluctuations in their attention, and explore the implications for instructional practices. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The participants consisted of three children aged 4–5 years who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and parents, and documentation, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings revealed that each child demonstrated a distinct attention span pattern across different learning centers. The nature center and art center generated longer attention spans than the preparation and Islamic values/literacy centers because they provided more concrete, exploratory, and hands-on learning experiences. Variations in attention span were influenced by four major factors: children's interest in the activity, the learning environment, self-regulation, and the support strategies employed by teachers and parents. The study concludes that children's attention span is a dynamic and contextual phenomenon shaped by the interaction between individual characteristics and the design of center-based learning activities. These findings contribute to the development of more adaptive and child-centered instructional strategies that accommodate individual differences in attention during early childhood education.

type: item
description: The development of life skills in early childhood is an essential aspect of education aimed at equipping children with personal, social, cognitive, and emotional competencies necessary for everyday life. However, implementing learning approaches that effectively integrate life skill development remains a challenge in many early childhood education institutions. This study aims to describe the implementation of a deep learning approach in developing early childhood life skills at RA Al Hidayah The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 15 children in Group A, four teachers, and one principal as research participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the deep learning approach was implemented through five main components: meaningful learning, mindful learning, joyful learning, reflective learning, and collaborative learning. The implementation of these components contributed positively to the development of children’s life skills, including personal skills, social skills, thinking skills, and emotional skills. Children demonstrated increased independence, collaboration, problem-solving abilities, and emotional awareness and regulation. Therefore, the deep learning approach has significant potential as an effective learning strategy to support the holistic development of life skills in early childhood education.

Analisis Validasi Ahli Media dan Uji pengguna Aplikasi Sihana (Sistem Informasi Penilaian Harian Anak) Pada guru TK di Desa Kesamben)
type: item
description: Because it provides the foundation for instructors to track and analyze children's growth, early childhood development assessment is a crucial component of the educational process. However, manual recording is still often used in the administration of evaluations in early childhood education institutions. Data loss and poor management are hazards associated with this. The goal of this research is to create the SiHana application (Children's Daily Assessment Information System) and assess its viability using expert validation. In this study, the Research and Development (R&D) method was combined with the Borg and Gall model. A few experiments were conducted by researchers at Tunas Mekar Kindergarten and Kuncup Bersemi Kindergarten in Kesamben Village. The Children's Daily Assessment Information System, or SiHana, is a web-based assessment program that was developed in compliance with the autonomous curriculum. This application was deemed practicable with a 90% success rate based on the expert feasibility test findings. As a result, the SiHana app may be used to examine young children on a daily basis.

Penerapan Digital Storytelling Islami untuk Meningkatkan Moral Anak Usia Dini
type: item
description: Moral development in early childhood is an important aspect of children’s character building. Based on the pre-action observation at TK Assalam 1 Sukarame Bandar Lampung, the moral development of children aged 4–5 years had not developed optimally. Of the 17 children observed, 3 children (17.64%) were in the Undeveloped category (BB) and 14 children (82.35%) were in the Beginning to Develop category (MB), while no children reached the Developing as Expected (BSH) or Very Well Developed (BSB) categories. This condition was caused by the use of conventional learning methods that were less attractive to children. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the implementation of Islamic Digital Storytelling in improving early childhood moral development. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, including planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research was conducted in the 2025/2026 academic year with 17 children aged 4–5 years in Group A as the subjects. The results showed that the implementation of Islamic Digital Storytelling significantly improved children’s moral development. In Cycle I, 11 children (64.70%) reached the Developing as Expected (BSH) category. In Cycle II, 15 children (82.35%) reached the Very Well Developed (BSB) category. Thus, Islamic Digital Storytelling was effective in improving early childhood moral development and exceeded the success target 75%.

Pengaruh Penerapan Metode Karyawisata dalam Pembelajaran Sains dan Agama Pada Anak Usia Dini
type: item
description: This research is examines the influence of the application of field trip methods in early childhood science learning at tk aisyiyah aba konang glagah lamongan. The problem of this research is that learning in kindergarten is still relatively monotonous and boring because most teachers only use methods that are less varied so that most children in carrying out assignments are not able to fully understand because they are not directly involved in finding knowledge, with that the purpose of this research is to find out whether there is the influence of the application of the field trip method in science learning. This type of research uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental type and a one-group pretest-posttest research design. In collecting data, namely by making initial observations before being given treatment, these observations are used to collect data during treatment or treatment, and final observations after being given treatment. The data analysis technique used in this study is using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of 5% so that t count = 0 is less than t table = 25 and the decision making result is that Ha is accepted because t count < t table (0 < 25) and Ho is rejected because t count > t table (0 > 25). The conclusions of the study show that the application of the field trip method has a significant effect on science learning. This proves that the field trip method helps children more easily understand learning because they explore directly with nature.
