Analisis Kompetensi Profesional Guru PAUD Yang Belum Bersertifikasi PPG

Alya Lathifa — 2025-10-31

Abstract: This study aims to identify the obstacles faced by Early Childhood Education (PAUD) teachers at Pembina 2 Pekanbaru State Kindergarten in participating in the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) certification program and to analyze its impact on the development of teachers' professional competencies. The competencies examined include learning practice skills, assessment, classroom management, and the use of learning media. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data collection techniques were carried out through structured observations and in-depth interviews selected purposively with PAUD teachers, school principals, and education supervisors. Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis through theme identification and cross-source triangulation. The results of the study indicate variations in the level of readiness and competency between certified and non-certified teachers. These differences are influenced by factors such as access to training, time constraints, costs, and institutional policies. The implications of the study emphasize the importance of expanding access to training, professional mentoring programs, and more inclusive portfolio development guidelines. The conclusions of this study emphasize the need to strengthen professional development pathways for non-certified PAUD teachers to support the improvement of the quality of early childhood education services in public schools.

Creation of a Mini Library to Improve Children's Literacy Skills at SB At-Tanzil Kg Lindungan Malaysia

Nurlaili Dina Hafni — 2025-11-04

This study aims to improve the literacy skills of Indonesian migrant workers' children at SB At-Tanzil Kg Lindungan, Malaysia, through the creation and utilization of a mini library as a contextual learning medium. This study uses a classroom action research (CAR) method implemented in two cycles, with stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 20 elementary school students at SB At-Tanzil. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, literacy skills tests, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and qualitatively by comparing the results between cycles. The research results showed a significant improvement in children's literacy skills after the implementation of the mini library. In cycle I, most students were just beginning to get used to reading and writing simple summaries. However, in cycle II, students showed improvements in reading comprehension, better structured writing, and increased interest in and habit of reading daily. The mini library successfully created a conducive, enjoyable, and accessible literacy environment for migrant children. This improvement in literacy skills aligns with constructivist theory (Piaget, 1972; Vygotsky, 1978), which emphasizes the importance of interaction with the learning environment, and emergent literacy theory (Clay, 1991), which explains that literacy develops through meaningful reading experiences. The research results also support the concept of Contextual Teaching and Learning (Johnson, 2007), where learning linked to children's real lives fosters learning motivation and active engagement. Overall, this study concludes that creating a mini library is an effective strategy for improving the literacy skills of migrant workers' children. This program can be used as a model for inclusive and sustainable community-based literacy learning in educational environments for Indonesian children abroad.
