Using hand puppets in a storytelling activity (which can resemble human or animal forms) as a learning medium has many beneficial. This study aims to determine the role of the hand puppet storytelling method in early childhood language development. This research uses a library research type, Systematic Literature Review (SLR), namely the study of various scientific studies relevant to research to obtain inferences in the form of new findings that can later be replicated. The data source used is secondary data, which has been previously published in the form of books, journals, and previous studies. The data collection technique in this research is documentation. The data analysis technique uses content analysis, a research technique for making inferences that can be replicated. The results showed that storytelling using hand puppet media played a role in developing children’s language. The role of the storytelling method using hand puppet media in early childhood language development, namely (1) encouraging children to be more skilled at speaking; (2) make children more interested and more active in listening; (3) increasing children’s self-confidence; (4) improve children’s listening skills; (5) developing receptive language skills of children; (6) developing children’s early literacy; (7) enabling children to retell stories that they’ve been heard; (8) add word recognition and vocabulary to children’s language; and (9) developing children’s oral language skills. This research has implications for learning, especially for teachers to use various media and appropriate learning methods according to the child’s learning type. Children become interested and more enthusiastic in participating in the learning process.

This study reported the development and initial validation of the Survey of Parent/Provider Expectations and Knowledge (SPEAK), a self-administered questionnaire assessing expectations and knowledge about early childhood cognitive and language development. Development of the SPEAK was guided by the theory emphasizing the role of language input quality in young children’s language development. Items were refined through cognitive interviews ( N = 29), expert consultations, and the first field test ( N = 131). Rasch analysis following the second field test ( N = 346) resulted in a 17-item SPEAK (α = .84); expert review confirmed its content validity. A third field test with low-income caregivers ( N = 103) showed that higher SPEAK scores were correlated with higher education, receptive language ability, stronger endorsement of incremental mindset, and more language stimulation available to the child at home, supporting its concurrent validity. Findings provided preliminary evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the SPEAK to assess expectations and knowledge of early childhood cognitive and language development.

Language games for stimulation early childhood receptive language. Receptive language is ability for listen and read. Receptive language development for children needs to be developed so that children can absorb information properly. For this reason, stimulation is needed so that the children’s receptive language can develop. One that can be do is playing language games. Language games can be done because basically playing is the main need for children. This research uses a literature study method where the data retrieval system in this research comes from books or journals that are analyzed based on existing problems. Language games that can be done to stimulate children's receptive language skills include repeating words, listening to them, guessing, whispering in chains and telling stories with indirect props. Stimulation with this method will make it easier for early childhood to develop their receptive language skills.

Purpose Language is a multidimensional construct from prior to the beginning of formal schooling to near the end of elementary school. The primary goals of this study were to identify the dimensionality of language and to determine whether this dimensionality was consistent in children with typical language development from preschool through 5th grade. Method In a large sample of 1,895 children, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with 19–20 measures of language intended to represent 6 factors, including domains of vocabulary and syntax/grammar across modalities of expressive and receptive language, listening comprehension, and vocabulary depth. Results A 2-factor model with separate, highly correlated vocabulary and syntax factors provided the best fit to the data, and this model of language dimensionality was consistent from preschool through 5th grade. Conclusion This study found that there are fewer dimensions than are often suggested or represented by the myriad subtests in commonly used standardized tests of language. The identified 2-dimensional (vocabulary and syntax) model of language has significant implications for the conceptualization and measurement of the language skills of children in the age range from preschool to 5th grade, including the study of typical and atypical language development, the study of the developmental and educational influences of language, and classification and intervention in clinical practice.

This study examined relationships between oral language and literacy in a two-year, multivariate design. Through empirical cluster analysis of a sample of 88 kindergarten children, four oral language subtypes were identified based on measures of semantics, syntax, metalinguistics, and oral narration. Validation efforts included (a) concurrent and predictive analyses of subtype differences on reading, spelling, and listening comprehension measures based on a priori hypotheses and (b) a comparison of the teacher classification of the children with the empirical classification. The subtypes represented high average, low average, high narrative, and low overall patterns of oral language skill. The high average subtype received the most consistent evidence for validation. The pattern of validation results indicates that the relationship between oral language and literacy is not uniform and suggests a modification of the assumption that oral language skills have a direct role in reading acquisition.

The purpose of this study was to compare the phonological awareness abilities of 2 groups of 4-year-old children: one with normally developing speech and language skills and the other with moderately or severely delayed expressive phonological skills but age-appropriate receptive vocabulary skills. Each group received tests of articulation, receptive vocabulary, phonemic perception, early literacy, and phonological awareness skills. The groups were matched for receptive language skills, age, socioeconomic status, and emergent literacy knowledge. The children with expressive phonological delays demonstrated significantly poorer phonemic perception and phonological awareness skills than their normally developing peers. The results suggest that preschool children with delayed expressive phonological abilities should be screened for their phonological awareness skills even when their language skills are otherwise normally developing.

Background: Infection is one of the top ten diseases in Indonesia, so that antibiotic therapy is quite high. The increasing use of antibiotics may lead to an increase in the use of irrational antibiotics. Drug Related Problems (DRPs) are events that are not expected from the patient's experience or are suspected to be due to drug therapy so that they have the potential to interfere with the desired healing success. Objective: This study aims to determine the number of occurrences of DRPs which include dosage inaccuracy, namely under and over dose, indication without drug, drug without indication, potential interactions and inaccuracy of drug selection in inpatient pneumonia treatment for children at the Deli Serdang Regional public hospital. In 2019 Method: This study is retrospective in which data is obtained through secondary data in the form of patient medical records for the period January-December 2019 with a cross-sectional study design. The data collection technique was in the form of total sampling, obtained 50 samples that fit the inclusion criteria. Results: Drung Related Problems (DRPs) research that occurred in the under-dose category of drugs (4.0%), and excessive drug doses (2.0%) and no DRPs (94.0%). This shows that the role of pharmacists is important in monitoring patient drug therapy to minimize the occurrence of DRPs.

<p>Language is a developmental aspect which is important to be stimulated from an early age. Language development in children has a dynamic rhythm. There is numerous speech that seems common and consistent in the language of children. Fortunately, this phenomenon does not automatically close the gaps of diversity in the children’s classes. Thus, the method of developing language skills especially English in children must be based on awareness of their own level of development. In developing language skills, the mastery of vocabulary by children determines the dominant ability to communicate, so this should be given special attention by educators. Answering the challenge of mastering the English vocabulary in early childhood, this paper explores in depth about the Talking Stick Learning Model which tends to be reserved for children at a relatively early age. Their first interaction with English will in some way affect their wishes ahead to learn more about this International language. Talking Stick Learning Model projects teachers not to dominate the learning process. This method of learning requires the help of a stick and for the child holding the stick, in turn, must answer the questions of the teacher that have thoroughly studied a discussion. In addition to training children to speak, this model will create a fun atmosphere for learning and train students to participate actively and creatively.<br /> <br />Keywords: Talking Stick Learning Model, English Vocabulary, Early Childhood<br />Abstrak<br />Bahasa adalah aspek perkembangan yang penting untuk distimulus sejak usia dini. Perkembangan bahasa pada anak memiliki irama yang dinamis. Terdapat ujaran yang terkesan umum dan konsisten pada bahasa anak-anak. Untungnya, fenomena ini tidak secara otomatis menutup celah-celah munculnya keberagaman pada kelas-kelas anak. Dengan demikian, metode dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berbahasa, terlebih bahasa Inggris, pada anak mesti didasarkan atas kesadaran mengenai tingkat perkembangan mereka masing-masing. Dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berbahasa, penguasaan kosakata oleh anak menentukan secara dominan kemampuannya dalam berkomunikasi, sehingga hal ini sebaiknya diberikan atensi khusus oleh pendidik. Menjawab tantangan penguasaan kosakata bahasa Inggris pada anak usia dini, tulisan ini mengupas secara mendalam tentang Model Pembelajaran Talking Stick yang cenderung diperuntukkan bagi anak-anak pada usia relatif dini. Interaksi pertama mereka dengan bahasa Inggris akan sedikit banyak mempengaruhi keinginan mereka ke depan mempelajari lebih jauh bahasa Internasional ini. Model Pembelajaran Talking Stick memproyeksikan guru untuk tidak mendominasi proses pembelajaran. Bantuan tongkat diperlukan dalam metode pembelajaran ini dan bagi anak yang memegang tongkat pada gilirannya mesti menjawab pertanyaan dari guru setelah tuntas mempelajari suatu bahasan. Di samping melatih anak berbicara, model ini akan menciptakan suasana menyenangkan dalam pembelajaran serta melatih siswa untuk berpartisipasi aktif serta kreatif.</p><p>Kata Kunci: Model Pembelajaran Talking Stick, English Vocabulary, Anak Usia Dini</p>

Abstract Development of Early Childhood Education (PAUD) learning includes the field of developing behavioral formation and the field of developing basic skills. The field of developing behavioral formation includes religious and moral and social emotional values. While the development of basic abilities includes language, cognitive, and physical or motoric abilities. One area of basic development that needs to be developed  is language development. Language skills are important because speaking with children will express their desires and can communicate with others around them. Language is an expression of mind and knowledge when children will interact with others. Children who are growing and developing communicate the needs of their thoughts and feelings through language, The objectives of this research are: (1) Describe the planning strategy to improve the development of early childhood language through the role playing method in the macro play center. (2) Describe the implementation of strategies to improve the development of early childhood language through the role playing method in the macro play center. (3) Describe the evaluation of strategies to improve the development of early childhood language through the role playing method in the macro play center. (4) Describe the results of strategies to improve the development of early childhood language through role playing methods in the macro play center. Learning methods that can be used to help improve children's language development are through the role playing method in the macro play center. With the role playing method in the macro play center, it is hoped that the development of children's language will be improved.Keywords: Language Development, Early Childhood, Macro Play Center

<p>The focus of this research is teacher professionalism in New Zealand and the possible role of the ‘Standards for the Teaching Profession’ that were released in 2017, in strengthening the quality of teaching. Evidence suggests that the quality of teachers’ work is an important factor in students’ success. So, a challenge for education policy-makers is to create a system that encourages and enables teachers to be high quality and motivated to keep improving. The literature suggests a strategy to enable this is to encourage a mature profession, where teachers take collective responsibility for improvement. Standards for teachers can be a positive influence on improving teacher practice when their use is balanced between regulatory and development functions, so that they are a catalyst for professional development. This research involved 45 teachers in English Medium settings participating in sector specific focus groups for early childhood, primary school and secondary school teachers, a review of policy documents and secondary data from Education Council workshops. The analysis suggests that aspects of organisational professionalism influence the environment, although most teachers did not consciously align themselves to this discourse. There appeared to be some differences between sectors, with those in early childhood aligning more closely to their organisation than other teachers and feeling like they were not accepted as a legitimate part of the teaching profession. Although teachers were generally positive about the new standards, few teachers considered using them for reflection or professional conversations outside of formal appraisal. The aspiration presented in literature of a mature profession that works collaboratively with a mix of stakeholders to combine expertise, ask tough questions to create solutions and grows professional knowledge was not apparent, however teachers identified opportunities to shift the profession towards this discourse.</p>

But the difference is seen in their roles tasked with developing a variety of children's basic abilities to explore children's potential from an early age. The basic ability of foreign languages ​​at this age starts from the basic introduction of English through simple vocabulary. The purpose of this study is to: 1) determine the introduction of basic English and 2) the roles of early childhood teachers in the introduction of English in this level. By using the type of field research and the qualitative descriptive approach, the researcher determines that the primary data source is the head of the RA, curriculum courses, and guardians of students. While secondary data sources are relevant references to the introduction of English, the role of teachers, and PAUD. Then the data obtained through participatory observation techniques semi-structured interviews and documentation of data validity test using the test of credibility, transferability and confirmability through reduction, display data and conclusion drawing.The results obtained are the introduction of basic English in RA done every day together with the learning of themes and sub themes in the curriculum content in the form of daily vocabulary and the greeting of the role of early childhood teachers in the introduction of basic English varies greatly. The teacher has multiple roles at one time. These roles are as educator, mediator, observer, facilitator, motivator, administrator, and composer.   Keywords: the role of PAUD teachers, introduction to English, early childhood education
