Upaya Menumbuhkan Rasa Percaya Diri Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun melalui Media Boneka Jari
The purpose of this study is to improve self-confidence in children aged 5 to 6 years using finger puppet media. This study employs the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method based on the model by Kemmis and McTaggart. The study consists of two cycles, each comprising four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Fifteen students from RA Al-Kautsar, aged five to six years, participated in this study. Data collection techniques included observation and documentation. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in the data analysis. The findings indicate that children aged 5 to 6 years can benefit from the use of finger puppets to boost their self-confidence. Most children (34%) were classified as Not Yet Developed (NYD) in terms of self-confidence during the pre-cycle period. The average score increased to 63%, classified as Developing as Expected (DAE), following the intervention in the first cycle. The average percentage returned to the “Developing Very Well” (DVW) level of 92% in Cycle II. The children appeared more willing to perform in front of the class, were able to lead groups, and were more confident in expressing their opinions. Thus, finger puppets are an effective tool for fostering self-confidence in young children.

Perubahan Pola Bermain Anak Di Era Digital Dan Dampaknya Terhadap Nilai Sosial
The research is motivated by the increasing use of gadgets in early childhood which affects their play activities and social interactions. This research aims to determine changes in children's play patterns in the digital era; its impact on early childhood social values; as well as what factors affect changes in children's play patterns and social values at Jia State Kindergarten, Sape District. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the research subjects consisting of 32 early childhood children and 6 teachers. Data collection is carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that there has been a change in children's play patterns from traditional games to digital-based games such as games and videos on gadgets. Schools still direct children to play traditional games and use Educational Game Tools (APE), but the influence of digital media is still seen in children's play activities. The positive impact of changes in play patterns can be seen in the increase in children's ability to recognize technology and visual creativity. However, the negative impact is more dominant, namely decreased social interaction, cooperation, communication, empathy, and compliance with the rules of playing together. Some of the factors that affect the relationship between digital play patterns and children's social values include: parenting patterns; intensity of use of gadgets; the role of teachers in schools; the child's social environment; and digital game types. This study emphasizes the importance of parental supervision and the role of teachers in balancing the use of digital media with children's social play activities

Pengaruh Pembelajaran Coding Terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Logis Pada Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun
Education and stimulation in early childhood are very important. One pivotal aspect of early childhood education that requires special attention is cognitive development. A critical element within this domain that cannot be overlooked is the capacity for logical reasoning. Preliminary observations conducted at RA Zainabiyah Jombang revealed that a number of children aged 5-6 years still face challenges in logical thinking. To address this, coding learning was introduced as an intervention activity to foster these skills. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the impact of coding education on the logical thinking abilities of children aged 5-6 at RA Zainabiyah Jombang. This investigation employed a quantitative methodology utilizing a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design. A probability sampling method was applied to select the participants. Data was gathered using observation checklists, and the subsequent analysis involved descriptive statistics, prerequisite testing, and t-tests. The findings yielded a significance value of <0.001, which falls well below the 0.05 threshold. Consequently, it can be deduced that coding learning exerts a substantial and meaningful influence on the logical reasoning skills of 5-6-year-old children at RA Zainabiyah Jombang.

Hubungan Ketersediaan Media Interaktif Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) Dengan Kemampuan Berpikir Anak Tk Kelompok B Pada Pembelajaran Mendalam
Using technology-based learning media in preschool education is crucial for creating a more interactive and meaningful learning experience. However, learning that still uses old methods often leaves children uninvolved, resulting in underdevelopment of higher-order thinking skills. Therefore, it is necessary to use interactive media that can improve the quality of the learning process. This research aims to understand the relationship between the presence of interactive media in the form of Interactive Flat Panel (IFP) and children's thinking skills in group B in in-depth learning at NU Tsamrotul Afkar Kindergarten. A correlational approach based on quantitative methods was applied in this research, involving the entire population of group B students totaling 15 children, where the census technique (total sampling) was chosen as the sampling method. The independent variable was the presence of IFP measured through observation sheets, while the dependent variable was the children's thinking skills measured through tests and teacher observations. Data analysis was carried out using two approaches, namely descriptive and inferential, which included testing data normality, linearity, and calculating Pearson Product Moment correlation. The study findings indicate a very strong and significant correlation between the availability of IFP and the level of children's thinking ability (r = 0.886; p < 0.001), with an R² value of 0.785. This indicates that 78.5% of the variation in children's thinking ability can be explained by the availability of IFP. These findings indicate that the use of interactive media in in-depth learning has a significant relationship in improving children's thinking ability.

Dampak Gadget Terhadap Perkembangan Emosional Anak Usia 3-6 Tahun
This study aims to analyze the impact of gadget use on the social-emotional development of children aged 3–6 years in Sumberagung Village, Sumberbaru District, Jember Regency. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach to understand the phenomenon of gadget use among early childhood children. The research subjects consisted of 30 children aged 3–6 years and their parents, who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observations and interviews to obtain information about children’s gadget usage habits. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative analysis through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The results show that gadgets have become part of children’s daily activities and are often used as a form of entertainment or to calm children when they feel bored or fussy. The use of gadgets without time limits and parental supervision leads children to prefer playing with gadgets rather than interacting with their peers. This condition results in reduced social interaction and the emergence of less stable emotional behavior, such as becoming easily angry or crying when the gadget is taken away. Therefore, the role of parents is very important in supervising, limiting the duration of use, and selecting age-appropriate content so that gadget use does not hinder the social-emotional development of early childhood children.

Eksplorasi Kegiatan Bernyanyi Dalam KemampuanBerbicara Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun
This research was motivated by the low speaking ability of children aged 4-5 years, which is characterized by limited vocabulary, lack of self-confidence, and difficulty in constructing simple sentences. This research aims to examine the role of singing methods in improving the speaking abilities of young children. The approach used was descriptive qualitative with research subjects consisting of 30 children and 2 teachers at RA Darul Muqomah. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the research show that singing activities help improve children's pronunciation and intonation, which includes children's courage in speaking, increasing vocabulary, as well as improvements in pronunciation and intonation. Apart from that, singing activities can create a pleasant learning atmosphere and encourage children's active participation during the learning process. The communicative and expressive role of the teacher is also a supporting factor in the successful implementation of this method. Thus, the singing method can be used as an effective learning alternative in developing speaking skills in young children.

PENGEMBANGAN COFA BUDAYA BETAWI DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MEMBACA DAN BERHITUNG ANAK USIA 5-6 TAHUN
This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Congklak Fajar, a Betawi cultural-based learning media, in improving reading and numeracy skills of 5–6-year-old children at TK Fajar Semanan, West Jakarta. The background of this research arises from the fact that many children at this age still struggle with early reading skills, such as recognizing syllables, and with basic numeracy, such as performing simple addition. At the same time, the traditional game congklak, which is part of Betawi heritage, holds strong potential to be developed into an educational tool that is engaging, contextual, and aligned with children’s natural inclination to play. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. Participants were divided into an experimental group, which learned using Congklak Fajar, and a control group, which used conventional learning methods. Research instruments included early reading and numeracy tests administered before and after treatment. Data were analyzed to determine the significance of improvements in literacy and numeracy skills across both groups. The results indicate that children in the experimental group showed significantly higher gains compared to the control group. The use of Congklak Fajar increased children’s motivation, engagement, and active participation during the learning process. These findings highlight that integrating local culture into learning media not only supports cultural preservation but also provides an effective and meaningful strategy to enhance the quality of early childhood education through enjoyable learning experiences.

EFEKTIVITAS METODE STORRYTELLING TERHADAP DISIPLIN ANAK USIA DINI
Discipline is a person's ability to follow rules, regulations, and responsibilities consistently. The problem in this study is the low level of discipline in children, such as impatience in waiting their turn, reluctance to obey rules, and failure to return items to their proper place, prompting special intervention. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of group guidance services with storytelling techniques in improving discipline in early childhood at Kupitan 1 State Kindergarten. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a Single Subject Research (SSR) design. The subjects were three children in group B2 who were purposively selected because they had low levels of discipline. Data were obtained through a discipline observation instrument and analyzed using visual analysis between baseline and intervention conditions. The results showed a significant increase in children's discipline scores after the intervention. The average score in the baseline phase was 43.5% (low category), increasing to 66.13% (high category) in the intervention phase. These findings indicate that storytelling techniques in group guidance are effective in shaping disciplined behavior in early childhood.

PENGEMBANGAN KARTU BERSERI PINTAR, TAAT, DAN RAJIN (PINTARA) UNTUK MENUMBUHKAN DISIPLIN POSITIF PADA ANAK USIA DINI
This study aims to develop the Pintar, Taat, and Rajin (Pintara) Serial Story Cards to foster positive discipline in early childhood, particularly in queuing, sharing, and tidying up toys. The background of this research lies in the dominance of instructive methods in early childhood education, which are less engaging and ineffective in building children’s intrinsic discipline. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, limited to the development stage. Trials were conducted individually, in small groups, and in large groups with children aged 5–6 years in Mustika Jaya District. Data were collected through observations, interviews, expert validation questionnaires, and children’s response assessments, then analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results indicated that the Pintara cards met the principles of early childhood learning, were deemed highly feasible by experts and practitioners with an overall category of “very good”, obtaining an average percentage score of 90% from the material expert, 95% from the media expert, and 97.5% from early childhood education practitioners, and received positive responses from children with most respondents (43.33% of the total 30 participants) categorized as “very good”. Children found it easier to understand moral messages, were motivated to practice discipline, and showed improvements in queuing, sharing, and tidying behaviors. Thus, the Pintara Serial Story Cards are feasible to be used as an innovative medium to foster positive discipline in early childhood.

Character education from an early age is important in shaping a generation that is moral, religious, and independent. However, the way character is shaped in schools still feels formal and is not yet integrated into student management. This study aims to innovate student management at TK Khadijah 65 Genteng Banyuwangi in order to implement religious values and early childhood independence, as well as to analyze how the planning, habituation, and evaluation of student programs are systematically designed and implemented to shape the character of early childhood students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method, with subjects consisting of the principal, teachers, parents, and TPQ partners. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, as well as triangulation as a means of ensuring the validity of the research results. The results showed that student management at Khadijah 65 Kindergarten covered four main aspects: (1) planning based on the school's vision and involving the participation of all parties, (2) the implementation of religious habits and independence through routine activities, (3) character development assessment using checklists and portfolios, although not yet fully uniform, and (4) strong cooperation between the school, parents, and TPQ, which reinforces good habits at home and in the surrounding environment. This study concludes that the innovation in student management at Khadijah 65 Kindergarten has succeeded in creating a comprehensive character education environment, but standardization of assessment tools and improvement of teacher skills are needed to ensure the program continues to develop.

KETERLIBATAN ORANG TUA DALAM PENDIDIKAN SEKS ANAK USIA DINI
The phenomenon of sexual violence against children in Indonesia, which has increased by 300% in the last decade, demands a preventive approach through early childhood sexuality education, yet still faces strong cultural resistance. This research explores the dynamics of parent-teacher collaboration in implementing early childhood sexuality education at TK Tunas Harapan Banyuwangi, focusing on paradigm transformation, collaborative mechanisms, and their impact on children's protective understanding. Employing qualitative educational ethnography with an interpretive-constructivist paradigm, the study involved 12 parents, 6 teachers, and 1 principal during March-June 2024. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, then analyzed using the Miles model with triangulation for validity. Findings reveal paradigm transformation from resistance to acceptance through andragogy-based "parent classes," three-pillar collaborative mechanisms (shared vision building, synchronized capacity building, and communication protocols), and positive impacts including enhanced children's body awareness, changes in family communication patterns, and transformation of teaching practices toward child-centered approaches. This research contributes to developing locally-based collaborative models for sexuality education relevant to Indonesia's sociocultural context.

PEMBELAJARAN HADIS PADA ANAK USIA DINI DALAM MENGEMBANGKAN NILAI AGAMA DAN MORAL
This study is based on the fact that nowadays many children's behaviors are influenced by things that should not be done by children their age, such as using bad language and hate speech, and committing violence against friends. Early childhood is influenced by electronic media which is currently very easy to obtain compared to moral education that should be instilled in the development period of early childhood. So it is necessary to educate children's religious and moral values Ã¢â‚¬â€¹Ã¢â‚¬â€¹from an early age through learning the hadith. This study was conducted to determine how learning the hadith can develop children's religious and moral values. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive research type, observation data collection techniques, interviews and documentation and data analysis with the Miles and Huberman model. The results obtained are that learning the hadith in children is carried out every day after the child has finished reading the surahs and short prayers. This activity is routinely carried out so that children continue to remember the hadith they have memorized. Based on observations, it can be seen that children have memorized the hadith about eating, cleanliness and the prohibition of anger, then children practice it by reciting the hadith when there are friends who eat while standing, there are also those who litter and get angry with other friends. Thus, based on this, the development of children's religious and moral values Ã¢â‚¬â€¹Ã¢â‚¬â€¹shows that children already have good behavior and know about bad behavior through routine learning of the hadith.

PERAN ORANG TUA DALAM MENDUKUNG KARAKTER KEDISIPLINAN DAN TANGGUNG JAWAB PADA ANAK USIA DINI
This study aims to describe the role of parents in supporting the development of discipline and responsibility character in early childhood, as well as to present the outcomes of children's behavior shaped through such habituation. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design involving 10 children aged 5Ã¢â‚¬â€œ6 years at TK Dharma Wanita Bringinan and their parents. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data analysis techniques used include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal that parents play a significant role in fostering discipline and responsibility in young children through three main aspects: habitual routines, role modeling, and positive communication. Children who are consistently exposed to disciplined routines at home demonstrate orderly behavior at school, such as organizing stationery, completing tasks on time, and respecting classroom rules. Responsibility is also reflected in behaviors such as taking care of personal belongings, helping the teacher, and admitting mistakes. This success is supported by active parental involvement and collaboration with teachers.Thus, the role of parents is not only as supporters but also as the primary foundation in shaping children to become disciplined, responsible, and prepared to face future challenges

The data results were analyzed using Miles and Huberman with data reduction (codification), data presentation, and conclusion. The results show that the main strategies for developing spiritual intelligence are storytelling and praying together, singing Islamic songs, moral stories, muraja'ah, and educational tours to the mosque. The main supporting factors come from the family environment, social environment, such as school, teachers, and learning media. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include differences in family backgrounds, limited learning media, and the character of easily distracted children.

In the rapidly advancing digital era, young children tend to experience a decline in direct social interaction due to excessive use of technological devices. This article aims to describe and identify the traditional game of hide and seek in stimulating the social-emotional skills of young children aged 5-6 years. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study research type. The data collection techniques utilize observation, interviews, and documentation conducted at Kemala Bhayangkari Kindergarten. Meanwhile, the data analysis used includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that the game of hide and seek can shape social skills such as cooperation, empathy, and communication, as well as help children regulate their emotions through direct play experiences with peers. The habituation of this game regularly over one year also shows an increase in children's involvement in social activities as well as their ability to express feelings and understand the feelings of others. These findings indicate that even amidst the currents of digitalization, traditional games remain relevant and play an important role in supporting the social-emotional development of early childhood. Therefore, there is a need for the integration of traditional games in early childhood education programs as an effort to balance technological development with the holistic developmental needs of children.

ANALISIS KEBUTUHAN MEDIA POP-UP BOOK DALAM PEMBELAJARAN SENI BATIK DAN ANYAMAN UNTUK ANAK USIA DINI
Introducing local culture from an early age plays a crucial role in shaping children's identity. However, many early childhood education institutions (PAUD) do not have a structured cultural education program, particularly in introducing the arts of batik and weaving. This study aims to analyze the need for local culture-based learning media for early childhood as a foundation for developing a Pop-Up Book. A qualitative descriptive method was employed as the initial stage of the Educational Design Research (EDR) approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation at three early childhood education centers in Tasikmalaya. The results indicate that teaching methods are still dominated by lectures and have not effectively utilized visual media. Teachers expressed a need for concrete, engaging, and user-friendly learning tools, while children showed high interest in interactive media. Pop-Up storybooks are considered highly potential as cultural learning media suited to the developmental characteristics of early childhood. These findings serve as a critical foundation for developing relevant, contextual, and innovative learning media.
