History And Theory

Play has long been a significant part of early childhood education programs. How play is used in programs today, as well as how it is regarded, often relates to how play has been conceived at various times in the past. Understanding how play has been interpreted throughout history and how educators and psychologists view play today can help teachers of young children better understand the nature of play and how to use it in early childhood programs. This article reviews the history of the portrayal of play in art and literature, and both the classical and contemporary theories of play.

Diaper is an option for most mothers because they are practical for the parents and make babies sleep better. Children who wear diapers often show late toileting development since they cannot feel a sense of damp when urinating. This study aimed to know the use of baby diapers on toilet training behavior of pre-school children in Early Childhood Education Programs (PAUD) and Kindergarten at Mersi village, Purwokerto. This was a non-experimental quantitative study with cross-sectional study design. The population was 217 children with history of diaper usage. The samples were 68 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The data was analyzed using Chi Square. This research has already been conducted in 2013. The results showed that 85.4% respondents wore diapers, whereas 14.6% did not. 12.5% respondents had good toilet training behavior, 78% had sufficient behavior 78%, and 9.5% were lacking. There was a significant difference between history of diapers usage and toilet training behavior among pre-school children in Early Childhood Education Programs (PAUD) and Kindergarten at Mersi village (p=0,04). It can be concluded that there was a significant difference between the usage of baby diapers and toilet training behaviors in pre-school children.

Principles And Standards

With increased attention being focused on the youngest children in our schools, changes in mathematics instruction that have occurred over the past decade are most evident in early childhood education. This emphasis is especially true since the April 2000 release by NCTM of Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, in which mathematics for the prekindergarten child is included as part of the pre-K–2 grade band. By including three- and four-year-olds in its recommendations, NCTM recognizes and emphasizes the importance and value of mathematics instruction for young children. Subsequently, in drafting their own standards, many states are also recognizing the need for early childhood standards.
