The purpose of this study was to investigate undergraduate students' knowledge in the implementation of the Investigation Project during their teaching practice. Investigation Project is one of the approaches adopted from the Project Approach. This approach included in the National Preschool Standard Curriculum. In this study, data were collected using questionnaire and interview protocol. The survey was used to obtain information on the students' knowledge of implementing the Investigation Project. At the same time, the interviews were conducted to find out the implementation of the Investigation Project for students undergoing teaching practice using the Teacher's Guide. The study sample is purposive sampling. One hundred seven students answered the questionnaire, and the interview protocol administered to 5 students who are implementing the Investigation Project in their teaching practices using Teacher Guidelines. The findings of the study indicate that the level of knowledge of the Early Childhood Education students in the Investigation Project is at a moderate level with an overall mean value of 2.69. The findings from the interview protocol found that the Teacher Guidelines provided to them helped them to implement the Investigation Project more effectively. The conclusion, this study showed that postgraduate students need a practical guide in assisting them to achieve this approach as they are less exposed to this approach while studying. The implications of this study have provided beneficial exposure to potential TADIKA teachers in Malaysia.

The purpose of the study is to examine the early childhood education students’ values and what are the differences in the students’ values in specific conditions related to social environment. The values of undergraduate students who study early childhood education are very important for professional development and practice. The purpose of this study is to determine, if their values change during their study programme; which values are more important to the students; and what are the differences in the students’ values in terms of the type of study (full time/part time), years of study, age, work experience and work status. Results indicate that employed students have higher scores on other-centred values than unemployed students, older students express more others-centred values than younger students, while in self-centred values there are no age differences. Students who have more work experience express more others-centred values and students who study longer express more others-centred values than fresh students, while in self-centred values differences by years of study do not occur. These results reveal important changes in the hierarchy of values related to measured variables and interplay between various conditions.

Abstract: This paper presents a research-action project carried out in 2012/13 in relation to the Early Childhood Education-Centre for Teachers-University Network. This network has been constructed to collaboratively research the Project Approach (hereinafter, PA) in Early Childhood Education classrooms. It is made up of teachers and pupils of Early Childhood Education, an adviser from the Continuing Professional Development Centre for Teachers, university researchers, and undergraduate students. The total number of people involved in the RIECU network is 538. From a qualitative paradigm, this work aims at analysing the learning outcomes achieved by the children through their participation in the RIECU network, based on the opinions expressed by the teachers, the families, the adviser, the researchers, and the undergraduate students. Semi-structured interviews, a focus group, and research journals were used to compile information. The most relevant results were: (1) the children obtain benefits by using the PA as a means of approaching knowledge; and (2) they acquire new attitudes towards knowledge, such as initiative, self-assurance, and responsibility. RIECU: Red de Infantil Escuela-Centro de Profesorado-Universidad.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a continuation of the Melenial Development Goals (MDGs) as joint development ambitions in the period of 2015 to 2030. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have 17 development goals with 169 targets, one of which is to ensure the quality of education inclusive and equitable for all levels. Quality education in this case is intended to ensure that all children, both girls and boys, can complete quality basic education and lead to relevant and effective education.Improving the quality of education carried out by the government aims to prepare alpha generations so that they can compete with other countries in the future. The preparation starts from early childhood education which is taken by children aged 0-6 years who tend to think in a concrete way. The need for learning media to explain something abstract and can be understood by early childhood. Therefore interesting media is highly recommended as an alternative in learning. However, in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 has not been optimally entered into all fields including education. In this decade there emerged technological development innovations that could be used in education, especially for the Early Childhood Education. Augmented Reality is a technology that has been developed by Programmers to improve the quality of Indonesian education. Seeing the problems and opportunities that are being experienced by the development of education in Indonesia, through the technology of Augmented Reality developed an application called the Pengenalan Buah dan Binatang that can be used as a medium of learning that involves and trains the senses in early childhood. According to research conducted by the British Audio Visual Association shows that 75% of people obtain information from visual, 13% from hearing audio, 6% from touch and touch, and 6% from kiss/tongue. It also needs support and cooperation between children, parents and the community to foster cooperation in the face of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era.
