2025-09-22T06:38:43+08:00

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB) is essential to be instilled from an early age, as it contributes significantly to the development of lifelong health habits. However, its implementation within families still encounters various challenges, particularly due to differences in parents educational backgrounds, levels of understanding, and socio-economic conditions. This study aims to explore the patterns of strategies used by parents in fostering CHLB in early childhood through a qualitative case study approach involving three mothers with different education levels and living environments. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using the Grounded Theory technique. The findings indicate that parents with higher education tend to adopt digital-based strategies, such as the use of educational videos and games, while parents with lower education rely more on traditional methods such as storytelling, modeling, and direct explanation. Challenges include limited time, financial constraints, and less supportive environments. The study emphasizes the importance of collaboration between schools and families to strengthen CHLB habituation in early childhood.

INCLUSIVE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN INDONESIA: A SOCIO-ANTHROPOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF PRACTICES AND CHALLENGES

2025-11-04T15:54:34+08:00

This study analyzes the implementation of inclusive education in Early Childhood Education (PAUD) institutions in Indonesia from a socio-anthropological perspective. The research specifically examines how cultural values, social symbols, and community practices influence the translation of inclusive policies into pedagogical practices and school culture. Using a qualitative literature review, the study selected relevant national and international publications through criteria of relevance to inclusive policy, teacher competence, and socio-cultural attitudes toward children with special needs. The thematic analysis focused on three socio-anthropological dimensions: cultural values embedded in daily interactions, symbolic meanings that shape inclusive or exclusionary behaviors, and community norms that support or hinder acceptance of diversity. The findings show that although Indonesia has established strong regulatory support for inclusive education, implementation in PAUD remains constrained by limited teacher preparedness, persistent stigma, and socio-cultural norms that are not fully aligned with inclusive values. The novelty of this study lies in positioning inclusive education as a cultural transformation process rather than a purely administrative mandate. The study recommends strengthening value-based teacher training, integrating local cultural values such as cooperation and empathy into play-based learning, and involving communities to reduce stigma and support inclusive socialization. These efforts are essential to cultivating inclusive culture in PAUD settings.

This research aims to describe the implementation of the Pangku Paliare tradition in Muara Dua Village, Bengkulu Province, as well as to identify the religious values contained within and their role in internalizing values for early childhood. Pangku Paliare is an annual tradition held every 1st of Muharram as a form of gratitude to God for safety and sustenance. This tradition involves the entire community, including children, who participate in various customary activities as a means of teaching life and spiritual values. The researcher employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model by Miles and Huberman through the stages of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that this tradition has three main stages: preparation, the main event, and closing, all of which are rich in religious and social values. Values such as honesty are reflected in elders' advice; gratitude is expressed through communal prayers on the 10th of Muharram; and mutual cooperation and togetherness are evident in activities preparing for the Mlemang procession. The involvement of children in all series of activities makes this tradition an effective medium for character education based on local wisdom.

STRATEGI PENDIDIKAN INKLUSIF UNTUK MENGATASI DISPARITAS KEMAMPUAN BERBAHASA PADA ANAK USIA DINI: STUDI KASUS DI TK MARSUDI RINI KECAMATAN KARANGANYAR KABUPATEN DEMAK

2025-01-16T06:05:40+08:00

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi disparitas kemampuan bahasa pada anak usia dini dan strategi pendidikan inklusif di TK Marsudi Rini Kecamatan Karanganyar Kabupaten Demak. Menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, kuesioner, serta dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya variasi kemampuan bahasa yang signifikan di antara tiga anak dari tiga kelas berbeda (A3, B1, dan B2). Anak-anak dengan keterbatasan bahasa menghadapi kendala dalam berbicara, pemahaman instruksi, keterampilan membaca dan menulis, serta interaksi sosial. Guru di kelas A3 dan B1 menggunakan pendekatan yang lebih intensif, sementara kelas B2 melibatkan guru pendamping untuk membuat pembelajaran lebih kondusif. Hambatan utama dalam implementasi pendidikan inklusif meliputi keterbatasan fasilitas, minimnya pelatihan guru, pemahaman orang tua yang rendah, dan kurangnya dukungan eksternal dari pemerintah. Penelitian ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya pelatihan bagi guru dan peningkatan fasilitas agar mampu mengatasi disparitas kemampuan bahasa anak dengan lebih efektif. Edukasi orang tua melalui kegiatan parenting diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pemahaman dan keterlibatan dalam perkembangan anak. Selain itu, dukungan eksternal diperlukan untuk keberlanjutan program inklusif di sekolah. Melalui studi kasus ini, penelitian memberikan gambaran tantangan dan rekomendasi praktis bagi institusi pendidikan dalam meningkatkan kemampuan bahasa dan interaksi sosial anak usia dini dalam konteks pendidikan inklusif.
