In an effort to realize the quality of early childhood education and
parenting, International Women's University, SEAMEO CECCEP, and CIMB NIAGA are
again conducting training for early childhood education teachers. Training
Participants in this batch 3 consisted of early childhood education teachers
from Central Java, East Java, and Yogyakarta. A total of 83 teachers were
enthusiastic about training in the BBPMP, West Java.
SEAMEO CECCEP, International women's University, and CIMB NIAGA are
committed to realizing quality education, cooperation, and good work of all
stakeholders required. Early childhood education will be of high quality if the
human resources (HR) also have quality competencies.
The role of the teacher is crucial in education. The teacher has to
become a facilitator, mentor, motivator, and evaluator when implementing
learning in the classroom. ECCE teachers must develop their abilities, including
personal, social, professional, and educational competencies. Early childhood teachers
not only have qualified teaching competencies but are also able to inspire, are
spiritually oriented, have character, and have communication skills, as well as
literacy intelligence, and can build effective communication in various
conditions.
Training participants received various materials, including implementing
holistic, integrative early childhood development (HI-ECD) and parenting loving
care (Pengasuhan Penuh Kesadaran dan Kasih Sayang-P2K2S). Ana Musdalifah, M.Pd
as the resource person in this training, said that HI-ECD is an early childhood
development effort conducted to meet children's diverse and interrelated
essential needs simultaneously, systematically, and integrated. The HI-ECD aims
to provide services for early childhood achieved in an integrated and aligned
manner between service institutions through the commitment of all relevant
elements.
The training participants also received
the task of conducting an Institutional evaluation of the five essential
services in their school. Early childhood education services have five
essential services: education services, health services, nutrition and care,
parenting services, protection services, and welfare services.
Furthermore, participants
will present the results of the analysis HI-ECD. Moreover, participants'
presentations will enable them to learn from each other about their respective
school experiences. This Institutional Analysis becomes input and suggestions
for Institutions that are in the process of improving the quality of Educational
services provided.
The following day, the
participants also received parenting and loving care material. In this
material, participants practice how to do mindful parenting. Participants also
learn about managing emotions and parenting stress. Parenting stress is a tension
that arises in the parenting process due to the demands of parenting. Parenting
stress involves behavioral, cognitive, and affective components related to
one's assessment of one's role as a parent.
Participants also
practice mindful breathing. Mindful breathing is a way of directing focus and
attention to the breathing process by being aware, accepting thoughts and
emotions that arise without judging feelings, and returning the focus to the
breathing process.
In the last session,
International Women's University and CIMB NIAGA distributed learning media as
gadgets for all participants. The provision of learning media aids to help
teachers in the learning process in their respective schools.
