Childhood Education

This article researches time in the early childhood education classroom. This inquiry troubles the dominance of chronological, linear time that prescribes and predicts daily routines in a goal-oriented manner in pursuit of future development. Through this project I hope to offer alternative perspectives on time beyond modernist and neoliberal abstraction and refocus on how the learning experience can be shaped by attending to the presentness of childhoods.

Early childhood education institutions focus on preschools, kindergartens, and practical schools that educate young children. A preschool education program has been developed to provide a rich learning experience for children in preschools and to promote healthy growth. Creativity is the foundation of a preschool curriculum and can be defined as a way of creating original things. Preschool teachers need to provide children with materials to stimulate their imagination, provide opportunities to imagine and explain their ideas, value children’s individuality, and encourage their different perspectives and also educators should be more attentive and responsible to increase children’s different competences that can be related to the education for their future. They should also encourage children to participate in creative games, take care of and appreciate children’s new products. It is also important to value children’s creativity, and to give children confidence. This study aims to examine the creativity of preschool children. The study used a simple causal design with pre- and post-test tests involving a single group. Participants consisted of 184 children (96 boys, 88 girls) studying in preschools and kindergartens under the Ministry of Education in Ankara during the 2014-2015 academic year. Forms A and B of the Torrance tests of creative thinking were used as pre- and post-tests. The results showed that the preschool education program had a positive impact on children’s creativity.

This chapter focuses on the design and implementation of coding, programming, and robotics activities in real-world classroom conditions in early childhood education that foster computational thinking and creativity. The study extends the author's experience in designing learning environments through experimentation, exploration, expression, construction, meaning negotiation, and collaboration. The author tries to gain further insight into the potential of implementing unplugged activities, robotics systems, and programming environments in the context of multi-disciplinary, hands-on activities. Using a variety of tools, strategies, and methods as well as qualitative approaches employed in case studies of classroom practice during Afternoon Robotics Club courses, the findings highlight the overall process indicating some special features that contribute to or cause difficulty in the formation of an effective learning experience. Special issues of interest, key aspects, solutions, and recommendations, as well as future research directions, are discussed.

Quasi Experimental

In RA (Raudhatul Athfal/Islamic Early Childhood Education) context, since many teachers relied heavily on standard learning guidelines, most of them didn’t have the power of creativity to make learning for children fun.  As a result, children were likely to experience burn out and this calls for a solution to apply like kaulinan barudak to develop children’s character values. This study was aimed at determining the effectiveness of the implementation of kaulinan barudak, Sundanese traditional games in developing character values for children in RA (Raudhatul Athfal/Islamic Early Childhood Education). This research applied a quasi-experimental method with Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest design. This research was conducted in two RA schools namely RA Al Muqadasah 1 and RA Al-Muqadasah 2 with 36 children involved. The test result for average difference on the post-test showed that children’s character values of the experimental class and the control class at the 0.05 significance level was obtained p (sig. (2-tailed) = 0,000. This indicated that there was a significant difference between the average score of the experimental class and control class in their post-test in terms of their character values scores at a level of confidence of 95%. Applying kaulinan barudak provided the experimental class a fun learning experience, potential growth, fun game, peer interaction, and a pleasant atmosphere. The process allowed character values to occur and children learned those values and realized them in kaulinan barudak.
