Natural Way

Children begin to develop mathematical thinking long before they enter school. This acquisition occurs in a very natural way as children interact with the environment and their caregivers. Everyday experiences often lend themselves directly to learning mathematics. Planning meals, taking a bath, reading together, playing, and experiencing daily excursions are just a few examples of the daily opportunities children have to count, recognize shapes and numbers, and play with volume and measurement. Nurturing children's natural curiosity about, and aptitude in, mathematics at an early age is of utmost importance. A little encouragement can go a long way. Lozano and Medearis (1997) point out that young children's early experiences should be hands-on and meaningful.

Stage Of Development

Reproductive  health education should be given since early childhood by using language that is adapted to the stage of development. If you procrastinate and wait until the teenager it is already too late because in the days of the digital era, as now, all the information can be easily accessed by anyone including children early age. If the early childhood misinformed about their reproductive organs it would disrupt the physical and psychological development due to the wrong behavior in caring for and maintaining reproductive organs. Qur’an as the holy book of Muslims describes the steps of reproduction and  imparting education wisely as well as how to apply such education. This kind of education must be in accordance with the conditions of children and there should not be a lie about it We can also use media and methods such as pictures, songs, tap or other visual  media which can give clearer information, so that children can clearly see parts of the body, their characteristics, and how to treat and care them. The impropriate approach in conveying this kind of knowledge will be very dangerous for children. The provision of early age reproductive organs education can prevent the occurrence of deviant behavior as well as protect children from dangerous influence in early childhood development.

Education Process

<p>One of the important parts relating to education for children is teaching da’wah since their early age, so that it becomes a habit for their life till they reach adulthood. Da'wah  is regarded as a good process of education and  it really should refer to the Islamic values which is implemented to children since early age. If this education process can run well, it would generate younger generations who have strong commitment. Introducing da’wah in early childhood requires extra patience to understand the child's condition; like the pra-formal operational stage of cognitive growth process, so that it requires easily understandable methods for children in its implementation.  There are some methods to introduce da’wah for children; namely singing, role model, role playing, field trips, poetry, and speeches.</p><p align="center"><strong>***</strong></p><p>Salah satu bagian penting yang harus mendapatkan perhatian terkait dengan pendidikan yang diberikan sejak usia dini adalah mengajarkan dakwah pada anak sejak dini, sehingga  dakwah sudah menjadi kebiasaan dan menjadi bagian hidup anak ketika dewasa. Dakwah dipandang sebagai proses pendidikan yang baik dan benar-benar harus mengacu pada nilai-nilai Islam yang diterapkan sedini mungkin kepada anak-anak. Apabila proses tersebut dapat berjalan dengan baik, maka akan  muncul generasi muda yang memiliki komitmen yang kuat. Untuk mengenalkan dakwah pada anak usia dini membutuhkan kesabaran yang ekstra dengan memahami kondisi anak misalnya proses pertumbuhan kognitifnya yang masih dalam tahap pra operasional formal, sehingga membutuhkan metode dalam aplikasinya yang mudah difahami anak. Metode dalam mengenalkan dakwah pada anak melalui bernyanyi, tauladan, bermain peran, karya wisata, bersyair, dan berpidato.</p>

Learning in Early Childhood Education (ECE) today should adjust the 21st century competency framework. In this case, learning innovation is needed to actualize a generation that is creative, innovative, critical thinking, able to communicate and collaborate. STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics) - based ECE learning is currently seen as an approach that aims to stimulate creativity and  prepare children in a world of work that is full of innovation and invention. Research shows that there is a positive relationship between STEAM experience at early age and school success in the future. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of STEAM-based ECE learning in Semarang City. Three ECE schools that have implemented STEAM-based learning in Semarang City were included as research subjects. The research methods used were qualitative with observation, interview and documentation as a data collection technique. The research focus of the research results include: 1) Story times in STEAM class, 2) STEAM Processes in learning, 3) STEAM activities in class. Data analysis results show that the implementation of STEAM-based learning is not fully integrated, so assistance by expert teams is needed and there is no  comprehensive learning media tool.Pembelajaran di PAUD sekarang ini hendaknya menyesuaikan kerangka kompetensi abad 21, dimana inovasi pembelajaran sangat dibutuhkan untuk mewujudkan generasi yang kreatif, inovatif, berpikir kritis, mampu berkomunikasi dan berkolaborasi. Akhir-akhir ini STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics) dipandang sebagai sebuah pendekatan untuk menyiapkan generasi abad 21, yang bertujuan untuk menstimulasi kreativitas, menyiapkan anak-anak dalam dunia kerja yang penuh inovasi dan invensi. Riset menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan positif antara pengalaman STEAM di awal usia dengan kesuksesan sekolah di masa mendatang. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan pelaksanaan pembelajaran STEAM di PAUD. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif, pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawawancara dan dokumentasi. Sedangkan hasil penelitian ini mendeskripsikan: 1) Storytimes dalam kelas STEAM, 2) STEAM Process dalam pembelajaran, 3) Aktivitas STEAM di kelas.

There has been an increased emphasis in recent years on supporting young children with building 21st century literacy skills such as critical thinking and collaboration. Unfortunately, young children with or at risk for disabilities are unlikely to receive access to experiences that build 21st century literacies. Pre-coding activities, which include hands-on coding games and stories appropriate for young children, are one way to provide access to this population of students. The purpose of this article is to provide details about how educators in early childhood inclusive settings may integrate pre-coding activities with everyday routines and procedures as well as with common grade level appropriate read alouds. Fundamentals of pre-coding are provided along with guidelines for planning and instruction.

Theoretical Overview

Children’s right to participate in all matters and decisions affecting them has gained recognition in society. Its promotion is recommended from an early age – namely, in early childhood education settings – and it is described as benefiting children, adults and the community in general. Given the complex and polysemic meaning of participation, different conceptualizations, models and perspectives have emerged. In this article, the authors provide a theoretical overview, describing relevant models, concepts and contributions from distinct perspectives and fields of knowledge – sociological, educational, developmental and sociocultural – as well as contributions from social policy. This overview is particularly relevant to inform research and practice about children’s participation in early childhood education.

Insight Into

School is a space where learning mathematics should be accompanied by the student’s preferences; however, its valuation in the classroom is not necessarily the same. From a quantitative approach, we ask from the mathematical thinking styles (MTS) theory about the correlations between preferences of certain MTS and mathematical performance. For this, a valid test instrument and a sample of 275 16-year-old Chilean students were used to gain insight into their preferences, beliefs and emotions when solving mathematical tasks and when learning mathematics. The results show, among other things, a clear positive correlation between mathematical performance and analytical thinking style, and also evidence the correlation between self-efficacy, analytical thinking and grades. It is concluded that students who prefer the analytical style are more advantageous in school, since the evaluation processes have a higher valuation of analytic mathematical thinking.

Early childhood is children aged 0 - 6 years, where early childhood is the most important period in the formation of the basics of personality, thinking ability, intelligence, skills and social skills, this period requires conditions and stimulation in accordance with children's needs for growth and development is achieved optimally. The aspects of early childhood development according to the Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 137 of 2013 include (1) Religious and moral values ​​(2) Motoric (3) Cognitive (4) Language (5) Social - Emotional and (6) ) Art. The first aspect of development that must be developed in early childhood is the aspect of religious and moral values ​​where early childhood is able to know Allah as its creator, the Prophet Muhammad as the messenger of the Islamic religion and Al-Quran as a guide for Islam. Religious values ​​must be instilled in early childhood as the initial foundation for children to live their lives. Islam as rahmatan lil'alamin must be studied in a clear and clear way. Various kinds of approaches are offered in understanding Islam, one of which is the inquiry approach, inquiry invites children to think critically and find their own answers to questions, formulate problems, formulate hypotheses systematically and analytically. It is hoped that they will be able to instill faith and devotion in children from an early age.

Education And Care

The importance of the earliest years of life has been recognized throughout history. Many philosophers and religious leaders have commented on the power of early experiences to affect the rest of a child's life. Early education leaders sometimes provided manuals and other materials to assist parents in educating their children at home, but schools for children under six are a very recent phenomenon. During the twentieth century, education for young children under six has become increasingly common, but this level of education is still not an integral part of most school systems. Perhaps the twenty-first century will see the development of seamless early childhood programs, preschool through third grade.
