Given the role of the father as an important figure in the psychosocial development of a child, his absence can significantly influence the formation of the child's character, particularly in the context of moral, ethical, and social values. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study method to deeply explore the experiences, perceptions, and impacts of the absence of a father on young children in this community. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with mothers, caregivers, early childhood educators, as well as direct observations of children experiencing fatherlessness. The data were analyzed thematically to identify behavioral patterns and the effects resulting from the absence of a father. The findings of this study indicate that children growing up without a father figure tend to struggle with internalizing values such as discipline, responsibility, and self-control. Additionally, the absence of a father also affects children's self-esteem and their ability to engage in social interactions. This study recommends the importance of social support and the active role of mothers and the community in assisting the character development of children experiencing fatherlessness, to ensure the development of healthy and positive character traits.</em></p> <p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis dampak fatherless terhadap pembentukan karakter anak usia dini di Gampong Tanjung Deah. Mengingat peran ayah sebagai salah satu figur penting dalam perkembangan psikososial anak, ketidakhadirannya dapat memberikan pengaruh signifikan terhadap pembentukan karakter anak, khususnya dalam konteks nilai-nilai moral, etika, dan sosial. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus untuk menggali secara mendalam pengalaman, persepsi, dan dampak dari ketidakhadiran ayah terhadap anak-anak usia dini di komunitas ini. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dengan ibu, serta observasi langsung pada anak-anak yang mengalami kondisi fatherless. Analisis data dilakukan secara tematik untuk mengidentifikasi pola-pola perilaku dan dampak yang muncul dari ketidakhadiran ayah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak yang tumbuh tanpa figur ayah cenderung mengalami kesulitan dalam menginternalisasi nilai-nilai disiplin, tanggung jawab, dan pengendalian diri. Selain itu, ketidakhadiran ayah juga berdampak pada rendahnya rasa percaya diri dan kemampuan anak dalam berinteraksi sosial. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan pentingnya dukungan sosial dan peran aktif ibu serta komunitas dalam membantu pembentukan karakter anak-anak yang mengalami kondisi fatherless, guna memastikan perkembangan karakter yang sehat dan positif.</p> Irhamna, Faizatul Faridy Copyright (c) 2024 Irhamna, Faizatul Faridy https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://e-jurnal.staimuttaqien.ac.id/index.php/kiddie/article/view/2135 Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Hijaiyyah Learning Transformation: Effectiveness of the Digital Iqra Application at Bungong Seulanga Kindergarten Pidie Jaya https://e-jurnal.staimuttaqien.ac.id/index.php/kiddie/article/view/2130 <p><em>As science and technology develop, there is an urge to utilize technology in the learning process. Teachers are required to use existing tools in accordance with current developments. One of them is the Iqra Digital application such as Marbel Mengaji to introduce hijaiyyah letters to children. Based on initial observations at the Bungong Seulanga Pidie Jaya State Kindergarten, some children cannot read the hijaiyyah letters properly and correctly, and their understanding is still weak. This research uses quantitative methods with a one group pretest-posttest design. The research sample was total sampling, involving all children in class A (16 children). Data collection was carried out through observation sheets and documentation. The research results show a significant increase in the recognition of hijaiyyah letters through the application of the Iqra Digital (Marbel Mengaji) application. The t-test results show tcount of 14,679 and ttable of 2,131 with degrees of freedom (df) 15 at the significance level α = 0.05. These results indicate that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected, which means that the application of the Iqra Digital application is effective in improving children's ability to recognize hijaiyyah letters.</em></p> <p>Seiring berkembangnya ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, maka muncul dorongan untuk memanfaatkan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran. Guru dituntut untuk menggunakan alat-alat yang ada sesuai dengan perkembangan zaman. Salah satunya adalah aplikasi Iqra Digital seperti Marbel Mengaji untuk mengenalkan huruf hijaiyyah kepada anak. Berdasarkan observasi awal di TK Negeri Bungong Seulanga Pidie Jaya, sebagian anak belum bisa membaca huruf hijaiyyah dengan baik dan benar, serta pemahaman mereka masih lemah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain one group pretest-posttest. Sampel penelitian adalah total sampling, melibatkan seluruh anak di kelas A (16 anak). Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui lembar observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan secara signifikan dalam pengenalan huruf hijaiyyah melalui penerapan aplikasi Iqra Digital (Marbel Mengaji). Hasil uji-t menunjukkan thitung sebesar 14.679 dan ttabel sebesar 2.131 dengan derajat kebebasan (df) 15 pada taraf signifikan α = 0,05. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa Ha diterima Ho ditolak, yang berarti bahwa penerapan aplikasi Iqra Digital efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan anak mengenal huruf hijaiyyah.</p> Jamaliah Hasballah, siti Rahmah Rahmah Copyright (c) 2024 Jamaliah Hasballah, siti Rahmah Rahmah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://e-jurnal.staimuttaqien.ac.id/index.php/kiddie/article/view/2130 Sat, 31 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0700 Building Inclusive Education: Contribution of Teachers at Kindergarten Aisyiyah 85 for Children with Special Needs https://e-jurnal.staimuttaqien.ac.id/index.php/kiddie/article/view/2142 <p><em>This study is entitled The Role of Teachers in Implementing the AUDBK Curriculum at Aisyiyah 85 Trensains Kindergarten using descriptive qualitative research.
