Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on early childhood education. This presents a major challenge for Early Childhood Education educators to improve their professional competence so that they can adapt to conditions in the current Covid-19 pandemic and respond to challenges in the era of society 5.0. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of distance learning on ECE teachers’ professional competencies. Sampling used cluster sampling techniques. This study involved 30 ECE teachers from three provinces on the island of Java. The method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques used open questionnaires containing indicators of ECE teacher’s professional competencies. The results showed that 30 ECE teachers in three provinces increased their professional competence especially in the use of technology that supports distance learning. support from government and institutions, is needed in improving teacher professional competence in the form of training that can reach all ECE teachers in Indonesia as a step towards facing the era of society 5.0.

AbstractDigital storytelling blends the ancient art of storytelling with a range of contemporary tools to weave stories together with the author's narrative voice, including digital images, graphics, music and sound. Digital storytelling, as both a teaching method and a learning resource, has been applied in many innovative ways at all levels of education. Digital storytelling supports student learning and allows teachers to adopt innovative and improved teaching methods. Storytelling is a proven and popular pedagogy, while digital storytelling is relatively recent and still seldom used in the setting of early childhood education. Using a case study of a storytelling–art–science club in Jakarta, Indonesia, the researcher explored how and why digital storytelling is used in early childhood education. This club is one of the few organizations that use digital storytelling for teaching and learning programs in early childhood. Data were collected qualitatively using in-depth interviews with four teachers, document analysis, and twice-observations of storytelling activities in each session with 35 and 37 children. The collected data were analyzed using analytical memoing methods. The results indicate that teachers in this club used digital storytelling for several important reasons. They claimed that simple digital technology made storytelling more entertaining, captivating, engaging, communicative and theatrical. This study suggests that the ability of teachers to use digital technology should be enhanced; schools' information and communication technology (ICT) devices should be equipped; some funding should also be allocated by the government to modernize school equipment; while the curriculum should be tailored to meet technological developments, and provide opportunities for children to learn how to make good use of technology.

The focus of the study identified the consistency of early childhood education teachers in implementing e-learning programs during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using quantitative methods with purposive sampling technique. Data obtained through interviews (G-Form) with respondents 50 ECE teachers in the city of Surakarta. Field facts are that there is no teacher consistency in implementing e-learning programs such as the absence of daily or weekly learning plans in implementing e-learning, uncertain teaching schedules, and unsupported learning media.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which began to spread in Indonesia since March 2020, has made many activities to take place at home. The government asks all Indonesians to work from home, worship from home, and learn from home. This is done so that the virus does not spread and cause even greater casualties. Learning from home is one way to prevent students from the dangers of the Covid-19 virus. Starting from the level of early childhood education to higher education are required to carry out distance learning using technology assistance such as video calls with Hangouts, Zoom, Skype, and Webex. Future Stars Preschool also has to do distance learning using the video call method and each parent is asked to prepare their child at home so they can take online classes with written material that has been prepared in advance. Parents are also asked to take photos of their children doing homework to be emailed and the materials that have been done are sent to school at the end of the period. Schools must determine what video call application to use so that each child can take part in distance learning, as well as the method of delivering material to each child. The applications used should be easy and not burdensome for parents, and also the delivery or processing of materials can be easier for early childhood children.

The outbreaks of Covid-19 influence the Indonesian education nationally, including early childhood education (PAUD). Since the school closures in March, the teachers have attempted to implement the distance learning. This study is conducted in a school in Kendal. The teacher shared her experiences in conducting the learning based on the emergency curriculum. It is found that the government has given the support by publishing the twelve books for the learning at home policy and providing the internet data. Most of the books are about playing with children and positive communication. Parents’ roles in distance learning have greater proportion than the teachers. Parents in this situation have the duties to supervise the learning, to conduct the learning, and to assist teachers in assessment. The teachers construct the weekly lesson plan, communicate the steps of learning process, and evaluate the students’ progress. However, both teachers and parents experience barriers due to the lack of skills in using technology and inability to provide learning materials to support six aspects of child development.

Purpose – The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many lives, especially in the field of education. These changes start from the level of early childhood education, elementary education, to higher education. The learning process initially done conventionally in early childhood education has now been transformed into distance-learning or online. This sudden transformation of learning is essential to present an innovative distance learning model in the early childhood education environment. This study describes the distance learning model innovation for early childhood, implemented by PAUD Wadas Kelir, South Purwokerto, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Teachers designed this learning model at PAUD Wadas Kelir by combining fun and unique online and offline learning. Design/methods/approach – This type of research is field research with a descriptive qualitative method. In collecting data, researchers used three methods, i.e., observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used, i.e., reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. Moreover, the validity of the data is tested using triangulation techniques. Findings – The results of this study show that there are ten learning model innovations implemented by ECE Wadas Kelir, i.e., learning with parental involvement, work projects, study visits, quizzes, online learning, creativity competitions, films and videos, creative and interactive stories, recording materials, and learning appreciation. Research implications/limitations – This case study focuses on Early Childhood Education (ECE) learning models applied to early childhood education institutions during the pandemic in PAUD Wadas Kelir, South Purwokerto, but it is unlikely that the situation is different elsewhere because the pandemic is Indonesia and global. Practical implications – This case study demonstrated how the application learning models of ECE during the pandemic are effective for children's growth and development. Originality/value – This paper contributes to knowledge and understanding of applying several learning models for ECE during the pandemic as reference material in implementing the learning process for early childhood. Paper type Case study
