The Southeast Asian Ministers of
Education Organization - Regional Centre for Early Childhood Care Education and
Parenting (SEAMEO CECCEP) successfully held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD)
titled "Update of Anaking Application and Content Development" from
May 6th to 8th, 2024. This activity is part of a series of studies and
developments aimed at improving the quality of services for children and
parents.
In this FGD, all SEAMEO CECCEP
staff actively participated. The three-day discussion covered various aspects
related to the update of the Anaking application, which is a crucial innovation
in supporting the development of young children.
The Research and Development team
of SEAMEO CECCEP led discussions on proposed new features for the development
of the Anaking application. One of the main features focused on adding pages
about child growth, development, and stimulation, as well as developing the
"Parent's Corner" as a platform for parents to share experiences and
knowledge in educating children.
Additionally, technical aspects
such as image file uploads, data migration, and the need for administrative and
IT personnel were also serious considerations in the discussion.
The discussion was not only
focused on technical aspects but also discussed the role of ethnoparenting in
the context of child rearing. In the "Parent's Corner" theme,
information about ethnoparenting will be added as a form of appreciation for
cultural and gender diversity in educating children.
"We hope that with the
improvement of the Anaking application, it can provide greater benefits for
parents in supporting the development of their children. This application is
expected to be an effective tool in early detection and providing appropriate
stimulation for child development," said one representative from SEAMEO
CECCEP.
With a spirit of collaboration
and innovation, SEAMEO CECCEP continues to strive to improve the quality of
early childhood education services in the Southeast Asian region.
