Efforts to Improve Gross Motor Skills of 5-6 Year Old Children Through Creative Dance
This study was motivated by the low gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 years at RA Istiqomah, particularly in balance, coordination, agility, and movement accuracy. The study aimed to improve children's gross motor skills through creative dance activities. This research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages conducted in two cycles. The participants were 18 children aged 5–6 years in Group B of RA Istiqomah. Data were collected through observation and documentation and analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative techniques. The findings revealed a significant improvement in children's gross motor skills after the implementation of creative dance activities. In the pre-cycle stage, only 22.3% of children reached the categories of Developing as Expected (BSH) and Very Well Developed (BSB). After the first cycle, the percentage increased to 66.6%, and further rose to 94.4% in the second cycle. Children demonstrated improvements in body balance, movement coordination, agility, rhythm synchronization, and muscle strength. In addition, creative dance activities enhanced children's confidence, participation, and enthusiasm during learning activities. The study concludes that creative dance is an effective and engaging learning strategy for improving gross motor skills among children aged 5–6 years. The findings contribute to early childhood education practices by providing an innovative and enjoyable approach to physical motor development. Creative dance can therefore be utilized as an alternative learning activity to optimize children's developmental outcomes.

Integration of Unplugged Coding and Play-Based Learning in Daily Routine Activities to Develop Computational Thinking in Early Childhood
Developing computational thinking during early childhood requires learning experiences that are meaningful, engaging, and aligned with children's developmental characteristics. This study examines the use of unplugged coding integrated into play-based learning activities embedded within children's daily classroom routines at TK Piri Yogyakarta. A qualitative phenomenological design was adopted to capture the experiences of teachers and children during the implementation of this learning approach. The participants consisted of two early childhood teachers and eighteen children aged 5–6 years. Data were gathered through direct classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and analysis of supporting documents. The collected data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to identify common patterns across participants' experiences. The findings indicate that incorporating unplugged coding into everyday play activities provides opportunities for children to develop essential components of computational thinking, including sequencing, pattern recognition through repeated actions, and simple decision-making based on cause-and-effect situations. The learning process also promoted active participation, collaborative interaction, and greater confidence among the children because the activities were closely connected to familiar daily experiences. These findings suggest that integrating unplugged coding into routine play activities offers a practical and child-centered approach for introducing computational thinking in early childhood education.

Multicultural Islamic Religious Education: A Comparative Study of Indonesia and Southeast Asian Countries
This study aims to analyze and compare the implementation of multicultural-based Islamic Religious Education in Indonesia and several Southeast Asian countries. This study is based on the reality of religious, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity that is a key characteristic of Southeast Asian societies. In this context, Islamic Religious Education plays a crucial role in instilling the values ??of tolerance, religious moderation, respect for differences, and harmonious social life. This research uses a qualitative approach with a comparative study method and utilizes library research as a data collection technique. Data were obtained from various sources, such as books, scientific articles, national and international journals, education policy documents, and relevant research findings. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, comparison between cases, and drawing conclusions. The results show that Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand share similarities in utilizing religious education as a means of developing religious and tolerant student character. However, each country implements different strategies according to its social conditions and education policies. Indonesia emphasizes strengthening religious moderation in its Islamic Religious Education curriculum, Malaysia fosters social integration in a multiethnic society, Singapore emphasizes social harmony and national cohesion, and Thailand utilizes Islamic education as a medium for strengthening identity and intercultural dialogue. Research findings indicate that the successful implementation of multicultural-based Islamic Religious Education is influenced by government policy support, an inclusive curriculum, educator competence, and a conducive social environment. Therefore, strengthening multicultural values ??in Islamic Religious Education needs to be continuously developed to support the creation of a peaceful, inclusive, and harmonious society. Keywords: Islamic Religious Education, Multiculturalism, Tolerance

Intensitas Penggunaan Gadget Dan Perkembangan Sosial Anak Usia Dini Di Kb Pelita Hati Munggugianti
This study aims to analyze the impact of gadget use on the social development of early childhood at KB Pelita Hati Munggugianti. This study employed a quantitative method with a correlational research design. The research subjects consisted of early childhood students at KB Pelita Hati Munggugianti. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis to describe the condition of gadget use and children’s social development. The results showed that most children used gadgets with relatively high intensity, ranging from 1–3 hours per day, while some children used gadgets for more than 3 hours daily. Children with higher gadget use intensity tended to demonstrate lower social interaction skills, such as reduced communication abilities, low participation in group activities, and a tendency to play alone. Nevertheless, gadget use does not always produce negative effects when it is used in limited duration and under the supervision of parents and teachers. This study concludes that gadget use has an influence on the social development of early childhood, therefore proper guidance and supervision are necessary to ensure that digital technology provides positive benefits for children’s development.

Reconstructing Islamic Religious Education Policy in Indonesia: A Critical Analysis of Government Regulation No. 55 of 2007
This study aims to reconstruct the policy direction of Islamic Religious Education based on the vision, mission, and objectives from the perspective of Government Regulation Number 55 of 2007. This study begins with the fundamental problem of the gap between the normative ideals of PAI which emphasize the formation of faith, piety, and noble character and the reality of implementation, which is still dominated by a cognitive-doctrinal approach and suboptimal internalization of values. The study uses a qualitative approach through library research with critical analysis of policy documents, Islamic education literature, and contemporary educational theory. The results indicate that conceptually, the vision, mission, and objectives of PAI align with the regulatory framework, but have not been effectively operationalized in learning practices. The main weaknesses lie in the lack of integration of affective and practical dimensions, minimal pedagogical innovation, and weak relevance to global challenges such as social pluralism and digital disruption. Therefore, a reconstruction of the policy direction of PAI is needed based on three main paradigms: integrative (strengthening the integration of knowledge and values), humanistic (placing students as learning subjects), and transformative (orienting toward behavioral change and social awareness). This research confirms that the reconstruction of Islamic Religious Education policy must be directed at strengthening values-based curricula, contextual and reflective learning, and a comprehensive and authentic evaluation system. Thus, PAI is expected to bridge the gap between normative vision and implemented reality and play a strategic role in shaping a generation that is religious, moderate, and adaptive to global dynamics.

Permainan Berbasis Alam sebagai Alternatif Mengurangi Ketergantungan Gadget pada Anak Usia Dini
Excessive use of gadgets in early childhood can lead to dependency and impact children's physical and social development. This study aims to examine nature-based play as an alternative to reducing gadget dependency in early childhood. The study used a qualitative descriptive method with a literature review technique through various journals and relevant research from 2020 to 2025. The results show that nature-based play can increase children's physical activity, motor skills, creativity, and social interaction, and can help reduce screen time because children are more attracted to direct play activities in natural environments. Thus, nature-based play can be an effective alternative to reducing gadget dependency in early childhood. Keywords: nature-based play, gadget dependency, early childhood.

Ecognizing Baby Blues as a Preventive Measure
Pada dasarnya baby blues merupakan depresi ringan dan mayoritas terjadi pada ibu baru melahirkan dan akan hilang dalam beberapa minggu setelah melahirkan apabila ditangani dengan tepat, akan tetapi kejadian baby blues ini akan menyita perhatian kita sebab ada dampak yang ditimbulkan pada ibu baru melahirkan serta pada bayinya yang cukup mengkhawatirkan dan sudah pada kategori depresi berat jika tidak disadari lebih awal sehingga topik ini perlu untuk dikaji lebih lanjut sebagai upaya pencegahan. Baby blues ini disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor diantaranya kurangnya pengetahuan ibu, kurangnya dukungan sosial, ibu primipara, ibu dengan peran ganda, faktor biologis atau hormon, faktor ekonomi, faktor usia dan lainnya. Gejala yang muncul digambarkan dengan kecemasan, emosi yang teramat labil, overthinking, dan sedih yang datang secara tiba-tiba. Adapun penelitian baby blues ini bersumber pada literatur kajian ilmiah dilengkapi dari narasi peneliti jenis fenomenologi sehingga akan ditemukan banyak pemaparan yang akan menghasilkan bahwa baby blues dapat dicegah dengan memperbanyak pengetahuan serta pemahaman bagi ibu yang akan melahirkan. Selain itu, ibu dan ayah perlu memahami perawatan baby guna memberikan hal terbaik untuk anak dalam tumbuh kembangnya serta ibu dan ayah perlu memahami parenting ala Nabi untuk mendapatkan cara pendidikan agar selamat dan bahagia dunia akhirat.

Kegiatan Membaca Dan Menulis Di Tk IT Nurul Ilmi
Dengan berkembangnya zaman setiap waktunya pembelajaran membaca dan menulis pada anak sangatlah bermanfaat dan berguna. Diantaranya memudahkan dirinya memahami pelajaran atau segala seusatu yang berada disekitarnya. Namun, kegiatan membaca dan menulis ini terkadang menjadi masalah bagi orangtua yang menganggap bahwasanya menulislah yang harus diduluankan daripada membaca sedangkan membaca setelah anak pandai menulis. Padahal, membaca lah yang membantu anak ketika menulis baik dari bentuk hurufnya maupunbacaan dan gambarnya. Adapun kekeliruan yang sering juga terjadi kebanyakan orangtua berharap penuh kepada sekolah megenai kemampuan membaca dan menulis pada anak padahal waktu anak lebih banyak ketika bersama orangtua atau dirumah seharusnya, dalam hal ini orantua juga harus berkontribusi bagi kegiatan dan kemapuan membaca dan menulis anak. Menulis dan membaca anak sangatlah berbeda dengan tigkatan pendidikan lainnya. Karena banyak tahapan yang harus dilakukan anak. Maka dalam hal ini penulis tertarik untuk mengetahui tahapan membaca dan menulis seperti apa yang digunakan TKIT NURUL ILMI ini untuk membuat kegiatan membaca dan menulis pada anak meningkat.

Abstract The implementation of BDR activities significantly changes the learning process. Significant changes can be seen from the implementation that was initially carried out in the classroom with the teacher changing to the implementation of learning at home with parental assistance. In the implementation of learning, teachers and parents are required to design interesting, memorable and meaningful lessons so that the implementation is fun and not boring. In choosing learning activities, you must also pay attention to the learning objectives so that children can still achieve their learning outcomes. Some schools choose to create meaningful activities by doing daily activities that are fun with parents and do not lose the essence of meaningful learning. This is because children can learn through direct experience and activities. During BDR activities, children spend time with their parents at home to learn and do activities together. This is the right opportunity to teach a variety of things not only academically but also life skills that need to be trained.

Early Childhood Education (ECE) plays a vital role in shaping children's character and personality. In Islam, the integration of Islamic values into early childhood education is a strategic step to develop a generation with noble character from an early age. This article aims to analyze the approach to integrating Islamic values in early childhood education based on the perspective of hadith. The study employs a library research method with content analysis on various literatures, scholarly journal articles, and relevant research reports. The primary data are derived from hadiths focusing on children's education, such as faith values, morals, and the development of Islamic character. The findings reveal that hadith contains fundamental principles for educating children, such as fostering proper manners, compassion, and habituating acts of worship. These principles align with the concept of early childhood education, which emphasizes value-based parenting. The integration of Islamic values can be implemented through thematic and interactive approaches, such as storytelling, educational games, and experiential learning. The main challenges in implementation include limited understanding of Islamic values among teachers and the lack of relevant teaching materials. Source triangulation is used to test data validity and ensure consistency among findings from various literatures. This article concludes that integrating Islamic values in early childhood education based on hadith can establish a strong foundation for Islamic character. Teacher training and the development of value-based curricula are essential to support effective implementation in early childhood education institutions.
