Experiences of Working Mothers and Non-Working Mothers in Shaping Child Development
type: item
description: This study indicates that a mother's employment status (working or not working) has a distinct impact on child development. Children of working mothers tend to exhibit better cognitive development, particularly in problem-solving and critical thinking skills, likely due to more structured stimulation and utilization of external resources. On the other hand, children of non-working mothers tend to have stronger emotional bonds with their mothers, better social adaptability, and higher self-confidence, resulting from more intensive maternal presence at home. Although there are no significant differences in overall behavior, children of working mothers tend to be more independent and responsible, while children of non-working mothers tend to be more compliant.

Optimizing Anecdotal Assessment for Authentic Evaluation of Early Childhood Development
type: item
description: This study aims to optimize anecdotal assessment as a form of authentic evaluation in early childhood education. Anecdotal assessment plays a significant role in documenting children's behavior in a real, contextual, and continuous manner. This qualitative research employed a case study approach conducted at TK An-Nizam Medan, involving early childhood teachers and children aged 5–6 years. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of teachers’ anecdotal notes. The findings indicate that teachers have implemented anecdotal assessment consistently to evaluate children’s development, yet several challenges remain, such as limited time, lack of standardized recording formats, and insufficient training in objective observation. Optimization strategies include developing a standardized format, providing continuous professional development for teachers, and utilizing simple digital tools to improve efficiency and data accuracy. The results show that anecdotal assessment strengthens the role of authentic assessment, helps teachers understand children’s individual needs, and enhances the overall quality of learning in early childhood education.

The Effect of Reflex Integration Program Intervention on Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Literature Review
type: item
description: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social communication and interaction, and it is frequently associated with the persistence of Retained Primitive Reflexes (RPR). Unintegrated RPR can serve as an early marker for ASD, driving the necessity for effective interventions. This study aimed to determine the impact of implementing the Reflex Integration Program (RIP) on children and adolescents with ASD. The methodology employed was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing eight relevant journals, where most studies utilized a pre-test and post-test experimental design and focused on the Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI) intervention. The research findings indicate that RIP exerts a significant positive influence on various developmental aspects of children with ASD, encompassing improvements in social interaction, communication, emotional regulation, motor skills, sleep quality, and behavioral flexibility, alongside reductions in hyperactivity and aggression. It is concluded that RIP holds potential as a valuable therapeutic option for enhancing the development of children with ASD, particularly in addressing socio-communicative deficits, and can be effectively combined with other interventions.

The media was also deemed highly practical based on student responses from small groups (3.35) and large groups (3.52), as well as student activities with scores of 3.45 and 3.75. The effectiveness of the media was proven through a paired t-test with a significance level of 0.026 < 0.05 and an N-Gain Score in the “moderate” category. Thus, the digital learning media based on Smart Apps Creator has been proven to be valid, practical, and effective in enhancing elementary school students' understanding of IPAS concepts.
