2025-12-19T16:44:11+07:00

This study aims to describe the influence of pedagogical competence on teachers’ readiness in implementing inclusive education at RA Mutiara Insani, Batam City. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using observation and in-depth interviews as data collection techniques. The research subjects consisted of nine teachers directly involved in inclusive learning practices. The findings indicate that RA Mutiara Insani has integrated inclusive education services in a sustainable manner through the admission of children with special needs, limitation of new student enrollment, collaborative initial assessments conducted by teachers and psychologists, as well as regular monitoring and evaluation of children’s development. In addition, the school involves professional psychologists in teacher training as shadow teachers and provides parenting programs for parents, including home-based intervention guidance. The results show that teachers’ pedagogical competence significantly influences their readiness to implement inclusive education, particularly in understanding learners’ characteristics, designing adaptive learning, applying responsive teaching strategies, and conducting continuous developmental evaluations. This study concludes that strengthening pedagogical competence through continuous training, professional mentoring, and school–family collaboration is a key factor in the successful implementation of inclusive education in early childhood education settings.

2025-12-15T22:14:04+07:00

Cultural identity is a fundamental aspect of early childhood development as it contributes to the formation of children’s self-concept, attitudes, and social values. In a multicultural context such as Batam City, early childhood education (PAUD) children are exposed to diverse cultural backgrounds that may influence the process of cultural identity formation. This study aims to examine the formation of cultural identity in early childhood within the multicultural context of Batam City and to explore the role of the educational environment in supporting this process. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review and an analysis of Batam’s socio-cultural context. The findings indicate that the integration of local cultural values and cultural diversity into early childhood learning activities can strengthen children’s cultural identity from an early age. The school environment, particularly the role of educators, plays a crucial role in introducing culture through habituation, role modeling, and culturally responsive learning activities. Therefore, culturally sensitive learning strategies are needed to support the development of cultural identity in early childhood in multicultural settings

2025-12-19T19:27:36+07:00

The development of digital technology has influenced parenting patterns in early childhood education, including the use of Islamic digital media. Early childhood increasingly consumes Islamic digital content such as animated videos, religious songs, and educational applications. This study aims to describe the role of parents in supervising the consumption of Islamic digital media among early childhood children. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach conducted at an Islamic early childhood education institution. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation involving parents and PAUD teachers. The results indicate that parents play an important role as supervisors, companions, and facilitators in the use of Islamic digital media. Parental supervision is carried out by limiting screen time, selecting age-appropriate Islamic content, and accompanying children during media use. However, several challenges were identified, including limited parental digital literacy, time constraints, and the presence of commercial elements in children’s digital content. Therefore, active parental involvement is essential to ensure that Islamic digital media supports the moral and religious development of early childhood.
