Peran Kearifan Lokal dalam Mentransmisikan Kesadaran Ekologis Studi Kasus pada Masyarakat Adat Kampung Kuta

2025-12-27T06:14:48+07:00

The global ecological crisis has triggered the emergence of alternative educational approaches that are more contextual and rooted in local culture. One such approach is the integration of local wisdom in fostering ecological awareness from an early age. This study aims to analyze how the indigenous community of Kampung Kuta in Ciamis Regency, West Java, transmits ecological values to the younger generation through inherited cultural and social practices. Employing a qualitative approach with an intrinsic case study design, this research utilized participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis to examine various community activities, including traditional ceremonies, environmental taboos, and sustainable living practices. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that ecological values in Kampung Kuta—such as the sacredness of nature, prohibition of forest exploitation, simplicity, and communal cooperation—are transmitted through family interactions, the role of customary leaders, and cultural media such as folklore and oral traditions. Environmental education in this community is not limited to cognitive dimensions but also involves affective and behavioral aspects, in line with the principles of ecopedagogy. This study concludes that local wisdom in Kampung Kuta plays a strategic role in shaping the ecological awareness of early childhood. The findings recommend the integration of local values into formal education curricula as a means of preserving cultural heritage and advancing sustainable environmental education

2025-12-27T06:14:49+07:00

Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) often face social challenges after going through legal proceedings, particularly in terms of being reaccepted by the community. This study aims to: (1) Understand the public's perception of acceptance towards Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL); and (2) Identify the forms of stigma directed at Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL). This research is a case study. The researcher used data collection techniques including observation, documentation, and interviews. Triangulation was used as a procedure to verify data validity. The study applied data collection, data reduction, data modeling, and drawing conclusions as the data analysis techniques. The research results show that: (1) Community acceptance generally reflects a positive attitude towards CICL through emotional support, material assistance, and the provision of opportunities for self-improvement. (2) Stigmatization against CICL is more dominant within the family environment compared to the general public. The forms of stigma include labeling by family members, such as calling the child "naughty," and temporary social distancing by the community. This distancing occurs because the community prefers to observe behavioral changes in the CICL before fully accepting them back. The community believes that CICL have the potential to change their behavior

2025-12-27T06:14:50+07:00

This study aims to analyze the effect of project-based play activities using wood puzzles on the social interaction skills of children with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) at Zivana Montessori Inclusive Kindergarten in Makassar City. A quantitative approach with a single-subject experimental design (A–B–A pattern) was employed, involving a 5-year-7-month-old child who exhibited difficulties in focus, self-control, and social interaction. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and interviews, then analyzed visually and descriptively. The results revealed a significant improvement in the child’s social interaction skills following the implementation of project-based play using wood puzzles. Increases were observed in three key indicators: maintaining eye contact, engaging in cooperative play with peers, and following play rules. The average level of social interaction improved by 39% from the baseline condition, with a stable trend maintained into the post-intervention phase. The project-based play activity effectively helped the child enhance attention, cooperation, and impulse control through concrete and enjoyable learning experiences. These findings confirm that project-based play using wood puzzles is an effective strategy in inclusive early childhood education, as it fosters children’s social skills while creating a collaborative, adaptive, and meaningful learning environment.

Evaluasi Perkembangan Anak Usia Dini: Identifikasi Kesesuaian Tahap Perkembangan Dan Kebutuhan Intervensi

2026-01-06T18:06:14+07:00

This study aims to measure the development of kindergarten (TK) students across four main domains: fine motor skills, gross motor skills, language & speech, and social & independence, to determine whether students have achieved age-appropriate developmental milestones or require further support. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collection through observation using the Early Childhood Developmental Detection (DDTK) instrument. The assessments were conducted individually by four observers who aligned their perceptions to ensure consistency in the measurement process. The results show that 5 students (38.5%) have development that aligns with their age milestones, 6 students (46.2%) fall into the questionable category, and 2 students (15.3%) show potential deviations from expected developmental stages. Among the developmental areas, the highest achievement percentages are found in the Social & Communication domain (93%), followed by Speech & Language (88%), Fine Motor Skills (71.5%), and Gross Motor Skills (65.4%). These results emphasize the importance of early detection and additional stimulation in the gross motor and speech & language domains to ensure optimal developmental outcomes for young children.
