Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah untuk membentuk sikap positif ibu-ibu wali murid PAUD RW II Kelurahan Tambak Wedi Surabaya terhadap pembelajaran di PAUD. Permasalahan selama ini ibuibu menganggap pembelajaran di PAUD kurang ada manfaatnya karena hanya diajari bernyanyi, berjalan-jalan dan bermain saja. Sedangkan orang tua menghendaki ketika anak dimasukkan PAUD akan diajari menulis, berhitung dan membaca. Akibatnya orang tua terkadang tidak akan mengantarkan anaknya ketika sibuk atau punya aktifitas lain dan bahkan akan menghentikan anaknya ditengah tahun pelajaran. Anak tidak sampai tuntas mengikuti pembelajaran di PAUD sampai akhir tahun pelajaran. Dalam upaya meningkatkan sikap positif orang tua (ibu) pada pentingnya belajar di PAUD, maka diperlukan pemahaman terhadap orang tua melalui Focus Group Discussion tentang belajar anak PAUD, Belajar Bersama Anak melalui aktifitas ibu-anak. Untukmeningkatkan sikap positif ibu terhadap PAUD diperlukan pemahaman tentang perkembangan anak Usia Dini, Model belajar anak usia dini, pemilihan stimulant yang cocok untuk anak usia dini. Diharapkan dengan pemahaman yang tepat tentang Pendidikan anak usia dini orang tua akan memiliki sikap positif terhadap PAUD, sehingga orang tua akan berpartisipasi aktif dalam pembelajaran anak. Hasil Ibu-Ibu lebih memahami Pendidikan PAUD mengembangkan aspek fisik, panca indera, emosi, social, pengetahuan, agama pada anak melalui metode bermain. Sehingga ketika bunda PAUD mengajak anak-anak melompat-lompat, berlari atau berjalan-jalan, sebenarnya didalamnya terdapat pengetahuan berbaris, sabar menunggu aba-aba, mengerti teman di kanan kirinya, melatih kepekaan anak dalam mendengar perintah. Ibu-ibu juga memiliki pemahaman terkait bagaimana harus menghadapi anak-anak usia dini dan perilaku khasnya seperti senang berlarian, coret-coret dan ibu-ibu juga memiliki pandangan bagaimana mengelola emosi dengan lebih baik saat menghadapi anak. Ibu-ibu memperoleh gambaran stimulasi anak usia dini yang dapat dilakukan ibu dan anak di rumah dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan yang sederhana namun bertujuan untuk melatih kemampuan sensorik anak, yaitu kegiatan meremas kertas, dan menempel benda-benda kecil di kertas (misalnya biji-bijian (jagung, kedelai, beras, kacang-kacangan).ABSTRACTThe purpose of this community service activity is to establish a positive attitude towards the guardians of PAUD RW II students in Tambak Wedi Surabaya Village towards learning in PAUD. The problem so far has been that mothers consider learning in PAUD to be of no use because they are only taught to sing, walk and play. Whereas parents want PAUD when children are included, they will be taught to write, count and read. As a result parents sometimes will not deliver their children when they are busy or have other activities and will even stop their children in the middle of the school year. Children do not complete learning in PAUD until the end of the school year. In an effort to improve the positive attitude of parents (mothers) on the importance of learning in PAUD, it is necessary to understand parents through Focus Group Discussion on PAUD children’s learning, Learning With Children through mother-child activities. To improve the mother’s positive attitudetowards PAUD, an understanding of Early Childhood development, early childhood learning model, selection of stimulants suitable for early childhood is needed. It is expected that with proper understanding of early childhood education parents will have a positive attitude towards PAUD, so parents will actively participate in children’s learning. Results Mothers better understand PAUD education develops physical aspects, senses, emotions, social, knowledge, religion in children through playing methods. So when the mother of PAUD invites children to jump around, run or walk, in fact there is a lined up knowledge, patiently waiting for the cue, understanding the friend on her left and training the child in listening to commands. Mothers also have an understanding of how to deal with early childhood and their typical behaviors such as running around, scribbling and mothers also have a view on how to manage emotions better when facing children. Mothers get a picture of early childhood stimulation that can be done by mothers and children at home by using simpleingredients but aims to train children’s sensory abilities, namely the activity of squeezing paper, and sticking small objects on paper (for example, grains (corn, soybeans, rice, nuts).

This chapter discusses the findings of an ethnographic case study investigating the implementation of mobile learning at an early childhood centre in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. The study describes how mobile technology is being used to support children's learning and communication. The findings show that the devices are an integral part of the learning culture of the centre. The devices are being used to actively engage children in the learning environment and support teaching inquiry. As one of the early studies to investigate how mobile technology is being used in early childhood education, the current study provides pedagogically sound examples and insight on how mobile technology can be embedded into early childhood. The study is seen as a starting place for more in-depth investigations into the impact of mobile learning on young children's learning.

In this review of research, we offer a meta-analysis of young children’s learning and development within and across psychology, education, and linguistics. Engaging with Soja’s concept of Thirdspace, we mapped young children’s learning and development transdisciplinarily, seeking to (re)conceptualize early childhood teaching in ways that are answerable to intersectionally minoritized children, families, and communities of color—those whose voices, values, perspectives, and knowledges have been historically and continue to be contemporarily marginalized. To do so, we identified seven principles with the potential to transform early childhood teaching practice. We posit that together these principles can shift the architecture of early childhood teaching, offering promising possibilities for fostering equity by allowing us to move toward emancipatory praxis and negotiate practical solutions to education’s long history of inequities and oppressions.

Children's Learning

COVID-19 has an impact on all levels of education in Indonesia and has a major impact on early childhood, where the teaching and learning process needs to be done face-to-face, but due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the government's policy of face-to-face learning and online learning is carried out. Researchers conducting this research are interested in the learning strategies used by educators during the COVID-19 pandemic so that they can become a reference for parents in guiding children to learn online. The effect of learning for early childhood is difficulty in understanding explanations from educators, lack of socialization in children's lives because schools are held online, children's development and growth has decreased, children's achievement indicators will decrease. Online learning for children aged during this pandemic is not optimal because it has obstacles, namely COVID-19, which is the reason children experience the impact of learning at home. The research method used qualitative research to describe the findings in the field and then processed the data. The data collection techniques in the research that have been carried out are observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this research are so that parents can guide, supervise and become a place for children's education in the family. Parents have a very big responsibility in educating and guiding children's learning online, the success of children's learning will be determined by parents if parents provide stimulation or guide when learning online.

It takes an intensive understanding of the corona virus and how to deal with it so that the spread rate does not increase. Especially early childhood, including those who are vulnerable to the Covid-19 virus because they do not understand how fast this virus spreads and still have an immune system that is vulnerable to the virus. With the Covid-19 virus, it has resulted in children being unable to study at school, so learning activities must also be supported by parents at home and teachers are also responsible for monitoring children's learning activities. This Covid-19 virus also brings fear and worry to children, this is because children do not understand how they understand the virus and how to prevent it. Therefore, it is very important to carry out socialization or education about the prevention of Covid-19 for children -child. Covid-19 prevention education contains the introduction of the Covid-19 virus, how to deal with worry, and how to prevent the Covid-19 virus through short animated videos that are interesting and easy for children to understand, so that children's worries can be reduced and parents will also understand how to teach children to prevent the virus.

<p>Electronic portfolios (ePortfolios) are a new phenomenon in early childhood education (ECE) and there is minimal existing research available on their use and effectiveness as a learning and communication tool in ECE.  This thesis presents an exploratory case study of an ECE centre, positioned within a constructive-interpretivist paradigm, which investigated communication between teachers and families via ePortfolios. Data used in the study were drawn from online surveys, document analysis of ePortfolios, individual interviews, and focus group interviews with parents and teachers. Thematic analysis identified three main themes; the benefits and drawbacks of communicating via the ePortfolio, the online tools that supported or constrained communication, and the types of communication that were evident.  Several implications for teachers’ practice arise from this study. First, the ePortfolio enabled communication to easily flow between settings, and provided another avenue for teachers and parents to communicate. Second, the different levels of communication parents and teachers engaged in via the ePortfolio had potential to influence their on-going communication, relationships, and children’s learning. To extend on-going learning and positive learning outcomes for children, online communication could be scaffolded so that a focus on relationships moves toward to a greater focus on children’s learning. Finally, levels of trust between teachers and parents were apparent, though more complex elements of trust such as competence and openness were less evident. Teachers could consider ways to develop these with parents to further enhance trust and communication.</p>

We discuss early childhood educators’ perceptions of what constitutes play, the contributions of play to children’s learning, tensions arising from and principles guiding their use of play in their teaching contexts. Participants, who are primary teachers, early childhood educators, administrators and consultants working in northern communities in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan, voiced their views in interviews. Their views are discussed in terms of curriculum expectations relating to play in curriculum documents and the theories and findings within the play research literature.

Portfolios are widely used in New Zealand for documenting children’s learning; there is now an increasing move to online ePortfolios. This article presents findings from a doctoral study which investigated the impact of the introduction of ePortfolios in an early childhood education setting where traditional paper-based portfolios were previously used as the formative assessment tool for children’s learning. The findings demonstrate that a significant benefit of the ePortfolio system used in this study was the ways in which they could support children to revisit their learning and become involved in their own formative assessment. This is described as recalling, reconnecting and restarting. Through participating in these processes, children become active contributors to their own learning journeys which is a significant factor of formative assessment.
