SIGNIFIKANSI PENINGKATAN KUALITAS KOMPETENSI PENGAJARAN BAHASA ARAB PADA ANAK USIA DINI
Abstract: This paper discusses the factors that cause the low quality of Arabic language learning standards in early childhood. The analysis reveals some of the root causes that contribute to this problem. First, the excessive focus on numerical assessment and assessment in language learning reduces the overall quality of Arabic language education. Such an approach neglects the comprehensive development of early childhood Arabic language competence. Second, the lack of a structured or well-coordinated early childhood education curriculum leads to ambiguity in learning objectives and selection of relevant material. As a result, this hinders the effectiveness of early childhood Arabic learning and produces poor quality results. Third, the use of outdated early childhood teaching methods that are not in accordance with the current developments in learning Arabic hinders students' understanding and interest in learning. The lack of innovative teaching methods adapted to the needs of students has a detrimental effect on the quality of early childhood Arabic education. Finally, teachers' inadequate qualifications and competence in Arabic linguistics, both modern and classical, as well as aspects of language culture, significantly impair the quality of Arabic learning. The quality of teaching plays an important role in raising the standard of Arabic language education. In conclusion, addressing these factors is very important to improve the quality of Arabic learning standards.

This study explores the lived parenting experiences of single parents raising young children after divorce within an early childhood education context. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research was conducted at PAUD Matahari, South Jakarta. Participants included three single parents with children aged 5–6 years, supported by early childhood teachers as triangulating informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and analyzed through iterative coding, thematic clustering, and synthesis of experiential meanings. The findings reveal that single parents experience parenting as an adaptive, intentional process centered on maintaining emotional closeness, open communication, and guided independence-building, despite time constraints and dual-role pressures. Parenting practices were enacted flexibly to support children’s emotional security and social adjustment. In addition, collaboration with early childhood education institutions emerged as an important source of continuity and support. These findings underscore that parenting quality and relational processes, supported by educational collaboration, are central to early childhood development regardless of family structure.
THE ROLE OF PARENTAL COMMUNICATION PATTERNS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD FIRST AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
This study aims to examine the role of parental communication patterns in the process of first language (L1) and second language (L2) acquisition in early childhood through a literature review approach. Parental communication patterns, including responsiveness, frequency of verbal interaction, use of child-directed speech (CDS), and emotional engagement, have been shown to significantly influence children's linguistic development. This study analyzes various literature sources from 2016 to 2026 relevant to the topic of early childhood language acquisition. The findings indicate that rich, responsive, and consistent communication patterns positively contribute to the speed and breadth of both L1 and L2 acquisition. Furthermore, it was found that a structured bilingual environment with active parental communication support can optimize children's second language acquisition without impeding first language development. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of parental education regarding effective communication strategies in supporting the linguistic development of early childhood.
ANALYSIS OF THE USE OF DIGITAL EDUCATIONAL GAMES IN DEVELOPING THE LANGUAGE OF CHILDREN AGED 4–5 YEARS
The development of digital technology has significantly influenced early childhood education, including the use of digital educational games as a medium for language development. This study aims to analyze the use of digital educational games in developing the language skills of children aged 4–5 years, covering aspects of expressive and receptive language. This research employs a literature review (studi literatur) method by collecting, reviewing, and synthesizing relevant scientific articles published between 2016 and 2024. Data sources were obtained from national and international journals, including Jurnal Obsesi, Murhum, KIDDO, and PAUD Agapedia. The results show that digital educational games have a significant positive effect on children's language development, especially in improving vocabulary, listening skills, and verbal expression. Interactive elements such as animation, audio narration, and responsive feedback were identified as key factors in stimulating language acquisition. This review also found that the effectiveness of digital games depends on the appropriateness of content with the child's developmental stage and the role of educators in guiding the learning process. The findings of this study confirm that digital educational games are a relevant and effective innovative media for language development in early childhood.
THE BENEFITS OF TRADITIONAL GAMES ON EARLY CHILDHOOD GROSS MOTOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE DIGITAL ERA
This study aims to optimize the gross motor development of early childhood through the implementation of traditional games based on outdoor learning in the digital era. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed in Kelompok Bermain Tunas Harapan. The research subjects consisted of children aged 4–6 years, teachers, and parents selected purposively. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and field notes, and were analyzed thematically using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings reveal that traditional games such as hopscotch, jump rope, and clogs effectively enhance children’s balance, movement coordination, large muscle strength, and self-confidence. Outdoor activities also help reduce children's dependence on digital devices while promoting social interaction. Teachers and parents responded positively to this approach as it aligns with children’s developmental needs. This study concludes that traditional game-based outdoor learning is an effective, contextual, and enjoyable strategy for improving gross motor skills while preserving local cultural values.
The THE EFFECT OF OUTDOOR LEARNING ON THE EXPLORATORY ABILITY OF CHILDREN AGED 5–6 YEARS
This study examines the effect of the outdoor learning method on the exploratory abilities of children aged 5–6 years at Harapan Bangsa Kindergarten, Jati Agung. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of outdoor learning on early childhood exploratory abilities. This research is quantitative in nature, employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The data collection technique used was observation, while the data analysis technique employed was the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Based on the research findings, there is a significant effect on the exploratory abilities of early childhood after the implementation of outdoor learning activities. The results of the Wilcoxon test analysis obtained a Z value of -3.417 with an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001, indicating that the probability is below 0.05 (p < 0.05). Thus, Ha is accepted, meaning that there is a significant effect on the exploratory abilities of children aged 5–6 years after the implementation of outdoor learning activities.
'LEADERS ARE HEROES': UNDERSTANDING THE DEFINITION OF A LEADER EARLY CHILDHOOD PERSPECTIVE
This study aims to reveal that early childhood has a perspective related to leadership, which is interpreted differently depending on the child's perspective. The method in this study is a focused ethnography conducted for approximately 2 months. The research subjects were all students in groups A and B of Candra Kindergarten-Bandung. Data collection techniques used observation and semi-formal interviews with children. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique used a grounded theory approach. The study illustrates that early childhood has its own perspective regarding leaders, but children do not define leaders in a segregated manner, that leaders are male or female. Children define leaders with adjectives such as "Jagoan".
