AbstrackIn children learning process that is conducted from home during the Covid-19 pandemic, parents must function as “teachers”.  As the 'teachers', parents must prepare themselves, starting from reading books, participating in webinars, following learning videos or videos of children's creativity activities in order to nourish their intellectuals with various information and knowledge.  This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method on 10 parents (father or mother) who had early childhood (5-6 years) at PAUD Rafflesia Arnolis, Kayu Tiga, Soya Village Ambon City. The data were obtained through interviews and documentation. The result of this study reveal some foms of parental involvement namely there is a communication between parents and teacher, accompany and help children learn as well as privide learning facilities. In addition, there are several positive things created between parents and children, such as the closeness of parents and children, parents can follow and know about children's learning development and parents are enriched intellectually and creatively while being 'teachers' for children at home. The benefit of the research is that the parents realize how important it is for them to be involved in their childrens' learning process and recognize the forms of involvement. Thus, parents can improve the quality and intensity of their children's learning involvement at home during the Covid-19 pandemic.Keywords: parental involvement, early childhood, learning from home

<p><strong><em>Abstract.</em></strong> <em>The importance of character is at the forefront of education, but during the Covid 19 period character education could not be optimally internalized to students. This causes the learning formulation to shift from school to home and neglect of character values in learning. Of course, realities like this require parents to have a role not only in controlling in terms of learning, but also paying attention to character, even though not all parents have pedagogical abilities. Therefore, the purpose of the PPMT program is to assist parents in accompanying character-based student learning with religious values at home. The scope of special activities for the children of the Dusun Penggaron Kidul. The method used by Participatory Rural Aprqissal (PRA) is divided into three stages, namely preparation, implementation, and report preparation. The results of the PPMT program are community assistance in solving children's learning problems and the existence of a pocketbook guide for home tutoring based on religious characters that makes it easier to accompany learning during the Covid 19 pandemic.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Abstrak.</strong> Pentingnya karakter menjadi ujung tombak dalam pendidikan, namun dalam masa covid 19 pendidikan karakter tidak bisa optimal diinternalisasikan kepada peserta didik. Hal ini menyebabkan formulasi pembelajaran beralih dari sekolah ke rumah dan terabaikannya nilai-nilai karakter dalam pembelajaran. Tentunya realitas seperti ini menuntut orang tua berperan tidak hanya mengontrol dalam hal belajar, tetapi juga memperhatikan karakter, padahal tidak semua orangtua mempunyai kemampuan pedagogik. Oleh sebab itu tujuan dari program PPMT ini adalah membantu orangtua dalam mendampingi belajar siswa berbasis karakter dengan nilai-nilai religius di rumah. Lingkup kegiatan khusus untuk anak-anak masyarakat Dusun Penggaron Kidul. Metode yang digunakan Participatory Rural Apraissal (PRA) yang dibagi menjadi tiga tahap yaitu persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan penyusunan laporan. Hasil dari program PPMT adalah terbantunya masyarakat dalam pemecahan masalah belajar anak dan adanya buku saku panduan bimbingan belajar di rumah berbasis karakter religius yang memudahkan dalam mendampingi belajar di masa pandemic covid 19.</p><p> </p><div id="gtx-trans" style="position: absolute; left: 84px; top: 445px;"> </div>

Abstract Background Children’s literacy and mathematical competencies are a critical platform for their successful functioning as individuals in society. However, many children, in particular those with low socio-economic status (SES) backgrounds who may not receive the home support needed to develop to their full potential, are at risk of not reaching sufficient competence levels. The overall aim of this project is to develop innovative computer tablet applications (‘apps’) and test whether the apps support parents in the provision of high-quality home learning environments (HLEs) and impact positively on the short- and long-term development of children’s competencies. Altogether, “App-based learning for kindergarten children at home” (Learning4Kids) is a 5-year longitudinal study funded by the EU and designed to assess the potential impact of a tablet-based family intervention on children’s learning, development, social inclusion and well-being. Methods/design This study uses a multi-method intervention approach and draws on expertise from psychology, education, informatics, and didactics to evaluate the effectiveness of learning apps and the intervention approach. It also exploits new technological possibilities afforded by tablet computers that are very common nowadays in families. Learning4Kids sets out to measure the quality of the HLE, children’s early mathematical, literacy, and cognitive competencies and their behaviour. Here, data will be gathered via standardized tests, observations, and parental and educator surveys and checklists. Data collection also includes the assessment of app usage times via mobile sensing. In cohort 1, 190 families are assigned to one of four groups. One business-as-usual group will only participate in the child assessments, whereas the three remaining groups are provided with tablets for about 10 months. Two intervention groups will receive mathematical or literacy learning apps as well as parental information about these topics and the tablet-control-group will receive similar apps and information that focus on general child development, but not on mathematics or literacy. Discussion Whilst offering substantive advances for the scientific fields of psychology and education, the Learning4Kids study also has broad societal implications. Improving young children’s learning trajectories is both a social and economic imperative as it equips them to achieve greater individual success and to contribute to societal prosperity.

In an increasingly technological world, parents are becoming more worried about the quality of children's learning of mathematics. Many parents become concerned about their own child's learning and visit the school to discuss the problem with the child's teacher. The result of this discussion is usually that the teacher confirms the parents' anxiety but offers few specific suggetions. If any help is offered. the parents are a ked to make the child practice more of the type of work done in school. This practice is often pitched at such a level that the parent have to do some teaching. At this juncture either the parent become confused because they do not know the method used in school or the child become confused because he or she is taught at home a method different from the one taught in school.

<p>Practice of children’s learning/teaching is frequently based on tradicional attitude to a child as a person and a childhood as an immature period in terms of social and cultural meanings (Juodaitytė, 2003, Gulløv, 2005b; Hviid, 2005; Juodaitytė, 2007). Contemporary pedagogy supports a variety of approaches to childhood: <em>from general</em> definition of it as a period, grounding it on psychogenetic peculiarities of this period and ascribing “imperfection” to it as a necessary and self-explanatory characteristics, <em>to</em> its <em>mythologized</em>, strained explanation, employing its pseudo-scientific interpretation, based on theories of “wild thinking”, “primitive civilisations” or “natural selection”.</p><p>Next to such socio-cultural discourse, which prevails in the educational reality, another discourse, which represents the culture children’s informal learning, emerges that implies the culture of children’s self-learning. It is based on the roles, rules that are acceptable to children themselves in the process of learning and the practice of children’s learning (Jurašaitė, 1999; Dencik, 2005; Gulløv, 2005a, 2005b; Hviid, 2005; Jenks, 2005;Juul, 2005a, 2005b). According to such conception, a child is a creator of social order, who is responsible for own learning process and its outcomes.<strong></strong></p><p>One of the conditions for children’s independent learning is a free choice of means, environments, sources, techniques and others. Informal home setting during summer creates favourable conditions for children’s independent learning because children are provided with a choice: how to use various aids, what environments and resources to use for self-learning and what learning methods to apply taking into account own needs and abilities.</p><p><strong>The problem questions</strong><strong>of theresearch: </strong>How does child’s freedom manifest itself in processes of self-learning and how is the socio-cultural identity of an informally learning child conceptualised?</p><p><strong>Research aim – </strong>to reveal the expression of the freedom of children<em>’</em>s who learn informally in a free (unstructured) setting when analysing how children conceptualisethemselves in this process and create the identity of the one learning in the informal independent way.</p><p><strong>Research object </strong>– expression of socio-cultural identity of children, who learn informally in a free (unstructured) setting.<strong></strong></p>

It takes an intensive understanding of the corona virus and how to deal with it so that the spread rate does not increase. Especially early childhood, including those who are vulnerable to the Covid-19 virus because they do not understand how fast this virus spreads and still have an immune system that is vulnerable to the virus. With the Covid-19 virus, it has resulted in children being unable to study at school, so learning activities must also be supported by parents at home and teachers are also responsible for monitoring children's learning activities. This Covid-19 virus also brings fear and worry to children, this is because children do not understand how they understand the virus and how to prevent it. Therefore, it is very important to carry out socialization or education about the prevention of Covid-19 for children -child.
