E. PREFACE, IJECES VOL. 4 NO. 1 YEAR 2015

All the papers in this issue seem to hold the same message: what is good for children—even
though each of them takes different point of departure. Some of the articles approach this issue
from the family life perspective, others from the practices at the center level. Sugiana‟s article
conveys this message through a more specific angle: teachers efficacy in the context of character
development. Given the complexities and diversities of the life of children, „good practice‟ is of
course a problematic idea. Therefore, it is critical to admit the relativity of such an idea.

In the first paper, by Anita Chandra Dewi Sagala and Ismatul Khasanah, good practice is
conveyed by reechoing the call for integrative early childhood program. It has been noted for long
that early childhood service is an arena that at least include children needs for education and care
as a single package. It is undeniable fact, however, that in many cases early childhood programs
prioritize one and leave the other. With the increasing rate of child abuses, early childhood sector
should also pay attention to the issue of child protection. This means that the very phrase “for the
best interest of children” should be seen as dynamics. The changing contexts of children live
means the changes in the risk our children have to deal with, and therefore the adaptive response
in our preschool centers.

In their paper, Arri Handayani and Muniroh Munawar assert the importance of quality parenting
to foster children development. Parents, especially mothers, need to consider the balance between
the length of time they spend for work and for their young children.

Based on a study in an Islamic preschool, Wahidin‟s article describes what considered as good
early childhood education practice through a spiritual lens. This paper argues that for spiritual
development is as important as the rest of developmental domains—physical, cognitive,
emotional, and social. While the Indonesian preschool system puts much emphasis on this
domain, the practice in the field tends to rely on a seemingly conservative approach. Spiritual
stimulation mostly relies on habituation and ritual performance.

Sri Kurnianingsih article discusses the importance of social support in ECE post volunteers
effectiveness and satisfaction. For volunteers are the very backbone of ECE post, the positive
social supports they received predictably will bring positive impacts to the participating children. If
this is the case, it is important to carefully map and measure the local social support before a new
center is initiated.

Prasetya and Kristanto paper discusses the potentials of local wisdom as preschool curriculum
contents. As local wisdoms are both spatially and conceptually closer to children daily life,
bringing them into classroom will drive children higher thinking activities.

Sumantri paper portrays the use of long-jump activity to stimulate children motor skills
acquisition for early grade primary school children. To bring this activity into practice, the study
asked the students to perform eight types of play. At the end of the study, it was found that these
eight brought a significance impact on children learning motivation as well as mastery of the
learning tasks. A lesson learned from this study is the importance to break the complex learning
goals into a series of the simple ones.

The next two articles discuss the preschool cognitive development, each with emphasis on the
basic science concept acquisition and linguistic development respectively. In their article, Rahayu
and Waluyo report their findings on the use of bubble game to facilitate children acquisition of
science concepts. Juwita and Tasu‟ah report their finding on the use of bead letter board to
facilitate children‟s early reading.

The next article concentrates its discussion on teachers‟ sense of efficacy of character
development. For teachers are considered as the agent in character development, so this article
argues, it is important to take into account their sense of efficacy. This study found that years of
experience and level of education did not contribute to the high level of efficacy. This opens up
opportunity for teachers professional development specifically targeted for improving character
development capacity.

This issue is concluded by Mukminin and Arso‟s findings on the provision of preschool-based
health service. Both authors argue that for sake of children‟s maximum development, health
service is a necessity. Unfortunately, they found that not many preschool took this innitative
seriously.
