Mindset Intervention

In childhood education, a behaviorist approach (a mixture of praise and punishment) has been used for student target behaviors; however, the results have not been consistent. This study investigated how a constructivist approach would work in the same setting. The participant was a four-year-old student who showed target behaviors with negative attention-seeking and avoidance of self-regulation; three teachers and the author worked with him on collaborative action research. We treated him using the behaviorist approach in the first cycle of intervention. It seemed to work on the surface but was not helping him become autonomously self-regulated; his surroundings learned to remove the antecedents. We took the constructivist approach for the second cycle of intervention, wherein the student was provided opportunities to build puzzle pictures and give them to his teachers or friends. The teacher’s scaffolding helped him complete the task, perceive his competence, and aim for even bigger challenges. Through his efforts, he experienced making others happy, and as the growing-giving mindset was fostered, the target behaviors were decreased.

Childhood Education

Work Environment and Work Motivation can affect performance in an institution, institution or company. For that, a leader needs to think about it. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) the influence of the work environment with the performance of Non-formal Educators on the Development Center for Early Childhood Education and Gorontalo Community Education, (2) the effect of work motivation on the performance of Non-Formal Educators at the Center for Early Childhood Education Development and Gorontalo Society Education. (3) the influence of the work environment and work motivation together with the performance of Nonformal Educators for the Development of Early Childhood Education and Gorontalo Community Education. The method used in this research is to use quantitative through remorse techniques to express one variable to another. The population in this study were non-formal educators at the Gorontalo Center for Early Childhood Education and Community Education, which collected 80 people while the sample was a population sample. Data collected through questionnaire distribution. The conclusions of this study are (1) Providing a positive influence on the performance of Non-formal Educators for the Development of Early Childhood Education and Gorontalo Society Education, providing improved environmental performance with the performance of non-formal educators. (2) Providing positive motivation for the performance of Non-formal Educators for the Development of Early Childhood Education and Gorontalo Community Education, providing good motivation for improving the performance of Non-Formal Educators. (3) Making a positive contribution to the work environment and work motivation together to the performance of Non-formal Educators for the Development of Early Childhood Education and Gorontalo Community Education, this means improving the work environment and encouraging work and then improving the performance of Non-formal Educators. The novelty of the research is the performance of Non-formal Educators will be more effective if a leader always provides work motivation regularly and makes a conducive work environment. This research provides knowledge to leaders in improving the performance of Non-formal Educators or teachers, needing to pay attention to motivation and work environment within an institution or company.

Science Activities

This study was carried out as collaborative action research aims to develop inquiry-based science activities in early childhood education. One volunteer teacher (T2) who desired to develop inquiry-based science activities, 14 of her students and the researcher participated in action research. The action phase consisted of six action cycles that reflect the progress over time. Data were collected through interviews and observations. Inductive thematic analysis was performed on the obtained qualitative data. Results showed that during the development of inquiry-based science activities, the teacher had supportive behaviors and utterances. At first, the teacher was planning and implementing at the confirmatory and structured inquiry level but afterwards, she could practice the guided inquiry and also achieved to activate all the inquiry skills during the fifth and sixth cycles. However, some difficulties originated from the teacher, school culture and parental involvement in the process. As a result, the teacher made significant progress in planning, implementing and evaluating inquiry-based science activities in her classroom for preschoolers. Finally, we conclude that inquiry-based science activities can be practicing at various inquiry levels in early childhood education.
