“…Pernyataan ini memberikan gambaran bahwa guru di TK Laboratorium Kampus UPI di Cibiru telah memiliki informasi terkait dengan spatial awareness. Senada dengan hal tersebut, spatial awareness dapat diartikan sebagai kemampuan anak dalam memahami dunia spasial dan pembelajaran matematika dasar seperti kegiatan membandingkan bentuk, menentukan arah, dan posisi dalam ruang (Nguyen et al, 2016;Platas, 2017;Rich & Brendefur, 2018;Watts et al, 2018). Hal ini dapat membantu anak untuk memperoleh pemahaman dan kosakata yang dapat digunakan dalam pengukuran, meningkatkan kemampuan matematika, memahami dunia spasial, meningkatkan kemampuan membaca, dan mendorong anak memiliki kemampuan pada bidang STEM.…”

“…Senada dengam hal tersebut, dapat dipahami bahwa spatial awareness berkaitan erat dengan pemahaman anak terhadap berbagai konsep yang dibutuhkan pada pendidikan selanjutnya, seperti konsep berhitung, korespondensi, dan hubungan antara suatu objek dengan objek lain disekitarnya (Davis, 2015). Spatial awareness juga sangat berkaitan erat dengan kemampuan anak dalam memahami dunia spasial dan pembelajaran matematika, khususnya untuk menjembatani anak dalam menggunakan bahasa spasial, pemikiran aljabar, konsep geometri, dan pemahaman konseptual (Platas, 2017;Rich & Brendefur, 2018;Watts et al, 2018). Maka dari itu spatial awareness penting dikembangkan pada anak sejak dini.…”

Spatial awareness merupakan kemampuan seseorang untuk memahami kesadaran tubuh dan mengklasifikasikan lingkungan fisik atau dunia sekitar. Spatial awareness ini seringkali terdengar seperti kemampuan yang sangat dasar dan bisa didapatkan secara otomatis oleh anak dalam aktivitas sehari-hari. Namun, kemampuan ini perlu distimulasi dengan baik karena dapat menjadi modal awal dalam memahami tentang dunia spasial dan konsep matematika. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan strategi guru dalam mengembangkan spatial awareness anak di PAUD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa Focus Group Discussion (FGD), wawancara, dan observasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, menujukkan bahwa guru menggunakan beberapa strategi untuk mengembangkan spatial awareness pada anak, diantaranya yaitu melalui bermain bebas, games, kegiatan senam, berbaris, dan bermain dengan media loose parts. Selain itu, para guru juga menggunakan musik serta gerak dan lagu sebagai strategi untuk mengembangkan spatial awareness anak. Pemilihan strategi yang dilakukan disesuaikan dengan karakteristik anak dan kegiatan pembelajaran yang dilakukan.

“…The authors deemed such a surprisingly positive finding worth exploring. Also contributing to the interest in this finding is the fact that historically and politically, service provisioning in the South African ECCE sector has been deeply unequal, 2 compounded by racial prejudices under apartheid. '[D]ifference' was construed in 'hierarchical terms and colour-coded within a carefully crafted, politically legitimated pigmentocracy'.…”

Parent perceptions: How disparate early childhood care and education centres in South Africa foster belongingness and well-being in children

This article explores parents’ perceptions of their children’s belongingness in early childhood care and education (ECCE) centres. It stems from the unexpected findings of a transformative ECCE pedagogy research project, which was characterised by multicultural, multiracial and varied economic conditions. As such, the authors expected controversial parental perceptions of the quality of the care and education their children experienced in these centres. However, this was not the case. Drawing on the theory of salutogenesis and its key concept, namely a sense of coherence, parents’ responses about their children’s early learning and well-being across diverse ECCE contexts were overwhelmingly positive. This prompted the question: what was it in these centres that allowed parents to experience a strong sense of belonging and such positive sentiments concerning their children’s sense of well-being? This phenomenological study was informed by the narratives of 19 parents, collected through the transformative pedagogy project, set in rural and urban situations, and at well-resourced and under-resourced centres. Findings reflected four identifiable themes. Firstly, parents favoured the diversity of influences at the centres, viewing these as rich opportunities for their children’s development and learning. Secondly, parents felt a strong conviction that the ECCE teachers were genuinely concerned about and sensitive towards their children. Thirdly, parents believed that their children were learning playfully in safe, loving spaces, and fourthly, parents were confident that their children were happy in the centres. These findings are particularly welcomed in the ECCE space, which is often demoralised and marginalised within the broader schooling system.Transdisciplinarity Contribution: The article shows that quality early childhood learning and teaching can take place across disparate contexts, be they urban or rural, well-resourced or under-resourced. This study identified factors that led to parents perceiving that their children experienced happiness and a sense of belonging in different centres.
