Introductory article for Special issue: Conceptions of early childhood and institutions in a global context

The recognition of the importance of early childhood education (ECE) has been growing continuously in recent years. Early childhood institutions are where professional pedagogy and child-rearing practices meet first in someones' life (Tobin et al., 2009), it has great significance in education. Acknowledgement of the existence of the needs of young children's education is evident, however, we have limited chances to compare different education systems outside of Europe and the United States. Realizing this situation, we came to the conclusion that it is highly necessary and required to publish such an analytical issue in the Hungarian Education Research Journal. Teacher's views and their narratives of childhood are relevant if we aim to understand the fundamental differences of ECE institutions in any region or country. In our present investigation we collected data from Hungary, Laos and Malaysia in order to acquire greater knowledge on the conceptions of early childhood in the three countries. We assumed however that the teachers' qualification and the early childcare system is diverse, yet we have found similarities among the teachers' perception.

Adapun materi pembelajaran rohani disesuaikan dengan agama masing-masing anak. Orangtua memandu anak dalam kegiatan rohani kemudian mendokumentasikan hasil belajar anak dalam bentuk video maupun foto. Evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa proses pembelajaran kurang efektif, karena minimnya kapasitas guru dan kurang optimal dalam memantau dan membimbing anak secara langsung ketika proses pembelajaran rohani. Hasil yang didapat adalah adanya sebagian anak yang kurang maksimal dalam mengikuti proses pembelajaran, sehingga hal ini berakibat pada penurunan penilaian pembelajaran rohani di lembaga PAUD. This research was motivated by the existence of a new policy on the implementation of Learning from Home (BDR) during the COVID-19 pandemic which prioritized the safety and health of students and all levels of educators at early childhood institutions. This condition has implications for such institutions, especially in early childhood spiritual education which should also be conducted online.

Internalizing Nationalism Awareness in Early Childhood Islamic Education Institution with The Spirit of Aswaja an-Nahdliyah

This study aims at describing and analyzing the internalization of national awareness through raudlotul athfal (RA; an Islamic early childhood education institution) with the spirit of Aswaja an-Nahdliyah. Aswaja an-Nahdliyah is an ideology adopted by Nahdlatul Ulama, a major Islamic religious organization in Indonesia. This study argues that the internalization of the national awareness needs to be instilled from early age to anticipate the influence of globalization which is feared to erode the original character of a nation. Within the study, the qualitative method was adopted in order to answer two research questions: (1) how Islamic early childhood educational institutions develop nationalism awareness through the teachings of Ahlusunnah wal Jamaah; and (2) how the institutions construct the awareness of nationalism through the teachings of Ahlusunnah wal Jamaah. The results of the study show that the internalization of nationalism awareness through Islamic early childhood education institutions with the Aswaja an-Nahdliyah’s spirit has been carried out through curriculum content which has been systematically arranged in each research subject with the principle of considering early childhood characteristics. At the same time, the results of the study also show that the construction of nationalism awareness in the Islamic early childhood education institutions can be seen in Islamic holidays and national activities which were held on the Islamic early childhood institutions.

Konsep Bimbingan Konseling Anak Usia Dini Serta Alternatif Medianya Melalui Permainan Tradisional

Guidance and counseling in early childhood institutions should not only be given to those who have problem behaviors, but must also be given to children who are in the process of growth and development. In early childhood, guidance and counseling is based on how to make the child's growth reach an optimal point, both physical motor, psychological and socio emotional. The process is mostly done by playing, singing, dancing and others. Traditional games can be used as a medium of guidance and counseling for early childhood. Types of traditional games are very good for children's development such as dexterity, creativity, social, and so on. In terms of benefits, traditional game is certainly very different from most modern games today, which do not use physical activity (silence) by staring at mobile screens and individualists, which of course results in the physical, and socio emotional development and physical growth of children not running optimally. For this reason, it is necessary to preserve the traditional game culture through creativity in order to preserve local wisdom as well as efforts to develop media for guidance and counseling for young children.
