The research subjects were 15 children aged 5-6 years in Anjir Muara, South Kalimantan. This classroom action research uses the Kemmis-Taggart model for two cycles. Methods of data collection using observation and analysis descriptively. The results showed an increase in children's communication skills with their parents from cycles 1 to 2 to be more effective. Therefore, the ABC lima dasar game has become an alternative game to apply at preschool with parents. The effectiveness of the game if played at home can be studied further.","PeriodicalId":135708,"journal":{"name":"Aṭfālunā Journal of Islamic Early Childhood Education","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115707520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some aspects that will be explored are related to feelings, expectations, and factors that support the views and practices of husbands and wifes’ parenting for their first child. This study applies a narrative inquiry approach by collecting data using a semi-structured interview technique, where the participants' narratives are analyzed thematically. Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory and a review of Islamic teachings are the references in the discussion of this study. The results show that the dynamics of emotions, expectations, and strategies are carried out by each couple when they have their first child. This study contributes to the views and practices of Muslim married couples, as well as insight into the importance of cooperation, communication, and support from the social environment for married couples in facing the new experience of welcoming their first child into the family. This research involves young married couples from various cultures in Indonesia to see variations in emotional dynamics and forms of support that can be used as a basis for further research.","PeriodicalId":135708,"journal":{"name":"Aṭfālunā Journal of Islamic Early Childhood Education","volume":"30 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114467070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using observation-based performance assessments, measure children’s cognitive development through 3 aspects: child social interaction, understanding of symbols, and reasoning involving samples. This study involved 30 children aged 5-6 years divided into two groups. The first group was children who had mothers with university-level education, while the other group was children with high school-level education. The collected data were analyzed to describe the demographic char samples’ demographic characteristics using an independent t-test to measure cognitive differences between the two groups of children. Significantly the educated mother results showed differences in cognitive development between the groups. Children with highly educated mothers have better cognitive abilities than children with mothers from a lower level of education. This research has implications for the importance of parental education to optimize children’s cognitive development.","PeriodicalId":135708,"journal":{"name":"Aṭfālunā Journal of Islamic Early Childhood Education","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126318420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research uses a quantitative approach with a Pre-Experimental Design research design, the type of one-group pre-test-post-test design. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The data collected through the instrument was compiled based on expert theory which consists of disposing of their garbage, watering the plants, and helping to care for the plants. The results obtained from applying the project method to children whose environmental care character has not yet developed indicate that the environmental care character in children increases after the treatment given using the project method is proven by t count greater than t table with an alpha significance level of 0.05. Thus, teachers can use other these methods as a strategy to develop environmental care characteristics from an early age. To solve the problem of environmental care character according to other age stages, further action research can be carried out.","PeriodicalId":135708,"journal":{"name":"Aṭfālunā Journal of Islamic Early Childhood Education","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114946893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
