2025-06-19T06:19:43+00:00

Children's creativity, defined as the ability to think originally and flexibly, is evident in drawing, playing, and various creations. Observations at Permata Ibu Kindergarten show that students have low curiosity, get bored quickly, are passive, and have limited imagination, which indicates a potential lack of creative thinking skills. This study aims to describe the creative thinking abilities of early childhood children at Permata Ibu Kindergarten. The research was conducted in 2023 using a qualitative descriptive approach, referring to the stages of Graham Wallas' creative thinking process. The research location is Permata Ibu Kindergarten in Palangka Raya, with 5 large group students as subjects. Data collection techniques include observation, unstructured interviews, and tests (writing numbers, reading, writing words/letters, and counting). Data were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, and their validity was tested thru source triangulation and technique triangulation. The research results show that during the preparation stage, students are able to recognize the types of questions and recall relevant information. During the incubation stage, some students exhibited brief thinking behavior before attempting to solve the problem. During the illumination stage, most students were able to generate ideas or solution steps, although some still struggled to explain their thinking process. During the verification stage, not all students rechecked their answers or generated alternative solutions. Out of the five students, three were at the creative thinking level category 2 (moderately creative), one was category 1 (less creative), and one was category 0 (not creative). These findings indicate variations in creative thinking abilities among early childhood children and the need for learning strategies that are more stimulating to creativity

2025-07-30T13:55:53+00:00

The implementation of deep learning approaches in Early Childhood Education (ECE) demands comprehensive readiness, particularly regarding teachers’ mindsets. However, limited research has examined how growth and Fixed mindsets influence pedagogical transformation in marginal areas such as Indonesia’s 3T regions (frontier, outermost, underdeveloped). This study aims to explore how teachers’ mindsets shape their responses to pedagogical innovation and how reflective thinking on mindset enhances meaningful and contextual learning. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 12 participants (teachers, headteachers, and school supervisors) across 13 districts in the 3T regions of East Nusa Tenggara. Data were analysed thematically using an inductive approach based on mindset framework. This study is limited by its geographical scope and small sample size. However, the findings hold significant implications for teacher training policies and the development of reflective learning communities in marginal contexts. Growth mindset emerged as a crucial psychosocial asset enabling contextual teaching practices, whereas Fixed mindset was identified both as a barrier and as an adaptive response to systemic limitations. This study highlights teacher mindset as a systemic issue in 3T contexts and offers new contributions to the implementation of deep learning Iapproaches in early childhood education

In the context of early childhood education, observational learning and modeling serve as effective strategies for character formation and the development of children’s social competence. This research employs a literature review approach and limited classroom observation in early childhood institutions. The findings indicate that the implementation of this theory can be carried out through teachers’ positive behavioral modeling, role-playing activities, and reinforcement of prosocial behavior. These strategies have been shown to enhance children’s social awareness, empathy, and self-regulation. Therefore, the application of Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory significantly contributes to the development of character and adaptive behavior in early childhood, providing a strong conceptual foundation for character education curriculum design in early childhood learning environments.

This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the implementation of parenting programs in supporting parental involvement through the Parent Meeting Class (KPO) service using the CIPP evaluation model (Context, Input, Process, Product). This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Informants included the school principal, parenting coordinator/teachers, and parents. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. Thematic analysis was conducted based on the CIPP components. The findings reveal that in terms of context, the parenting program is considered relevant to local needs. However, in the input aspect, there are still limitations in facilitator competencies and variations in parental participation.
