Pengembangan Kreativitas Sebagai Pembentukan Karakter Anak Usia Dini

Mayesty (1990) states that creativity is a way of thinking and acting or creating something original and valuable/useful for that person and others. Creativity according to Santrock (2002) is the ability to think about things in new and unusual ways and give birth to a unique solution to the problems encountered. In line with what was stated by Gallagher (in Munandar, 1999) revealed that creativity is related to the ability to create, organize, find a new form and or to produce something through imaginative skills, this means that creativity is related to the experience of expressing and actualizing individual identity in the form of integrated in relationship with oneself, with nature and with others. Creativity is a product of ideas or solutions that are new and useful. According to Munandar (2002) one of the benefits of creativity is that it can improve the quality of life and solve problems from various points of view, therefore creativity is important to be honed from an early age, so that it becomes an inherent character in children. In relation to the formation of the character of early childhood, we can see together that the character of the Indonesian nation has deviated a lot from norms, both legal norms, social norms, and even religious norms. People today are experiencing a crisis that has such a great impact on civilization, namely the crisis of character. Seeing this fact, the initial foundation for the realization of a character that fits the profile of Pancasila must be developed from an early age. Through the development of creativity, it is hoped that the formation of character in children can be done from an early age. Character education was chosen as an effort to realize the character formation of students or the nation's generation of noble character. This study uses a qualitative research type with reference to descriptive analysis from various relevant sources as well as a study of research results that raise the theme of the relationship between creativity development in developing the character of early childhood. The type of study used is literature study by collecting information from books, journals, discussion of articles and others. From the results of this study, it is known that the development of creativity in early childhood has a very good impact on the character development process.

A Critical Evaluation of Procedural Content Generation Approaches for Digital Twins

Procedural content generation (PCG) of terrains is one of the main building blocks for creating an automated and real-time virtual world. This study provides and in-depth review of the different tools, algorithms, and engines used for the PCG of terrains for the PCG of digital worlds; we focus especially on terrain generation but address also the main issues related to build structures and characters. It is important to know that the PCG of terrains can be implemented in a multidisciplinary scenario, for instance, modeling of games, simulating industrial maps, urban and rural planning of developments, government, and nongovernmental agency improvement plans. Many problems in current approaches were identified from the literature, where most of the researches studied were merely throwaway prototyping based, i.e., proof of concept-based systems, and were not tested in the real environment. Also, genetic algorithm-based PCG of terrains lack multiple features such as roads and buildings. The virtual cities generated through different engines were lacking a realistic look and feel. Terrain generation through multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) is investigated, and it is deemed the usage was restricted to the gaming domain and not extended to other fields. Findings suggest that the correctness of generated terrain is a big issue in the automatic generation of terrains. Thus, a focus on the automated correctness check is required. Other important content generation in video games such as structure generation and character generation has been extensively studied, and the techniques are analysed in the further sections of this research work.

Chinese Calligraphy Generation Based on Involution

The calligraphic works of particular calligraphers often contain only a limited number of characters, rather than the full set of Chinese characters required for typography, which does not meet practical needs. There is therefore a need to develop a complete set of calligraphic characters for calligraphers. Most of the recently popular methods for generating calligraphic characters are based on deep learning, using an end-to-end approach to generate the target image. Deep learning-based methods usually suffer from unsuccessful conversion of stroke structures when the printed font differs significantly from the target font structure. In this paper, we propose an involution-based calligraphic character generation model, which can realize the conversion from printed fonts to target calligraphic fonts. We improve the Pix2Pix model by using a new neural operator, involution, which focuses more on spatial feature processing and can better handle the relationship between strokes than the models using only convolution, so that the generated calligraphic characters have an accurate stroke structure. A self-attentive module and a residual block are also added to increase the depth of the network to improve the feature processing capability of the model. We evaluated our method and some baseline methods using the same dataset, and the experimental results demonstrate that our model is superior in both visual and quantitative evaluation.

Urgensi Pendidikan Prenatal dalam Prespektif Islam

Parents are the most important and first educators for a child, because children receive the first education from children. Mothers and fathers play an important and very influential role in the development of children. The mother stayed with him because the child remained in the womb until delivery. Therefore, he imitates the temperament of the mother, and the child usually loves the mother more. As we know, mothers are the first madrasa or school for their children. Likewise, the father's influence is immense, and he is a major helper and a character greatly admired for his toughness and wisdom in dealing with the subject. Fathers have an important role in the development of children. Islam goes very well like family education and its main goal is to create a generation of noble character. To achieve this, the family, especially parents, is the first foundation of a child's basic education. Basic education is the education that a mother receives during pregnancy (before giving birth). This study aims to explain the importance of prenatal education from an Islamic perspective. This search is a qualitative descriptive literature search. The data collection technique in this case is to identify discourses from books, articles, magazines, the Web (Internet) or other information. The data analysis method used is content analysis. The results of this study indicate that Islam is very concerned about prenatal education and instilling good values so that it becomes the basic capital for the development of subsequent life. Islam commands all parents to pay attention to every movement of their behavior during pregnancy. Both in the way children are raised and the material given to children as the first environment that children receive.

THE ROLE OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TEACHERS IN SHAPING THE PROFILE OF PANCASILA STUDENTS

Teachers are the spearhead of student outcomes; by optimizing their functions and roles, they can form a nation with Pancasila character. This study aims to describe and analyze the role of Islamic Religious Educationeachers in shaping Pancasila students profile.The research location is MI Ma'arif Pranggong Indramayu. This is a qualitative study, and the data is presented in a descriptive format. Teachers and students participated in this study. Observation, interviews, and documentation were used to collect data. According to the findings of the research the role of PAI teachers as educators, role models, motivators, mentors, facilitators, and evaluators played a role in shaping Pancasila Students who had faith, noble character, liked to work together, were independent, and creative.

Toni Morrison’sTheir Eyes Were Watching God

AbstractI argue that Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby (1981) is a deliberate rewriting of Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937) and was, at the time of its publication, a critical intervention into heated scholarly debates over Janie Crawford’s suitability as a representative of what Jennifer Jordan terms “modern black feminism.” Morrison recasts the early twentieth-century Janie Crawford as the contemporary Jadine Childs and, availing herself of the descriptive and explanatory resources of her post-civil rights moment, renders Jadine’s capacity for self-determination undeniable, thus calling into question contemporaneous critiques of Janie as Hurston’s failed attempt to write, in Hortense J. Spillers’s words, “new” and self-determined “female being.” The novels, read together, reject the foundational paradigm of Black women’s literary succession—built as it has been around models of accretive, intergenerational possibility, wherein each successive generation of Black women characters attains new heights of self-determination—which posits Hurston and her characters as the necessary precursors of but regressive foils to Morrison and her characters’ political and literary self-actualization. Given Janie’s and Jadine’s shared experiences, reactions, and choices across drastically differing sociohistorical contexts, this polarization, Tar Baby suggests, is more a consequence of critics’ entrenched presuppositions than any tangible failings on Janie’s part. As a pair, Tar Baby and Their Eyes Were Watching God exhort readers to forgo the quest for what Jordan calls an “ideologically correct literature” on narrowly contemporary terms and, instead, to pursue recognition of Black women’s agency and truth-telling on malleable terms, even (and especially) amid the historical constraints placed upon these characters’ voices and upon representations thereof.

Dual Discriminator GAN: Restoring Ancient Yi Characters

In China, the damage of ancient Yi books are serious. Due to the lack of ancient Yi experts, the repairation of ancient Yi books is progressing very slowly. The artificial intelligence is successful in the field of image and text, so it is feasible for the automatic restoration of ancient books. In this article, a generative adversarial networks with dual discriminator (DDGAN) is designed to restore incomplete characters in the ancient Yi literature. The DDGAN integrates the deep convolution generative adversarial network with an ancient Yi comparison discriminator. Through two training stages, it could iteratively optimizes the ancient Yi character generation networks to obtain the text generator According to the loss of comparison discriminator, DDGAN mode could be optimized. The DDGAN model can generate characters to restore the missing stroke in the ancient Yi. The experiment shows that the proposed method achieves a restoration rate of 77.3% when no more than one third of the characters are missing. This work is effective for the protection of Yi ancient books.

If the implementation of the role of parents as natural educators can be carried out well, then the process of forming a nation's generation of character will be more easily realized.

The Concept of Character Learning: A Comparative Study of Al-Ghazali and Thomas Lickona’s Perspectives

The main goal in character education is to achieve noble character to create a harmonious human life, helping each other, being fair, and having a balanced relationship in social life. Because of that, instilling character in students is fundamental so that when they grow up, they can become the next generation of solid character. This study uses library research that compares the concept of learning the character of al-Ghazali and Thomas Lickona. The research method carried out in this study was carried out with several steps, such as collecting qualitative data based on reputable data sources and analyzing data to obtain final results. The study results show that Al-Ghazali's educational method is a traditional nuanced method of "lecture and uswah hasanah". Furthermore, Al-Ghazali's educational materials are all forms of teachings contained in the Islamic religion. More clearly and concretely, the concept of education initiated by Al-Ghazali contains two elements: transcendence (rububiyyah: divine) and humanization. Meanwhile, the concept of character learning initiated by Thomas Lickona formulates character learning that involves all components in the education process, both family, school, and community. In addition, the character learning process, according to Thomas Lickona is an effort that involves three aspects of intelligence, including cognitive through moral knowing, affective through moral feeling, and psychomotor through moral acting as follows: The purpose of character learning is to help students become intelligent and good in manners.

RALF: an adaptive reinforcement learning framework for teaching dyslexic students.

Dyslexia is a learning disorder in which individuals have significant reading difficulties. Previous studies found that using machine learning techniques in content supplements is vital in adapting the course concepts to the learners' educational level. However, to the best of our knowledge, no research objectively applied machine learning methods to adaptive content generation. This study introduces an adaptive reinforcement learning framework known as RALF through Cellular Learning Automata (CLA) to generate content automatically for students with dyslexia. At first, RALF generates online alphabet models as a simplified font. CLA structure learns each rule of character generation through the reinforcement learning cycle asynchronously. Second, Persian words are generated algorithmically. This process also considers each character's state to decide the alphabet cursiveness and the cells' response to the environment. Finally, RALF can generate long texts and sentences using the embedded word-formation algorithm. The spaces between words are proceeds through the CLA neighboring states. Besides, RALF provides word pronunciation and several exams and games to improve the learning performance of people with dyslexia. The proposed reinforcement learning tool enhances students' learning rate with dyslexia by almost 27% compared to the face-to-face approach. The findings of this research show the applicability of this approach in dyslexia treatment during Lockdown of COVID-19.

Role of Teachers and Parents in Realizing Character Education in the Digital Era

The digital era in fact still gives teachers and parents worries with various content that leads to "negative" changes in student attitude. In addition, teachers and parents still throw responsibilities at each other when students' attitudes deviate from character values. This study aims to explore the role of teachers and parents in realizing a character generation in the midst of digital development. This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach with the library research method. Data is collected from primary and secondary sources such as research reports in international and national journals, proceedings articles, and books. The data analysis technique uses descriptive content analysis by selecting, processing, and describing the data findings into research results. The results of this study indicate that parents and teachers have the same role and have a great influence in implementing character education in the digital era, through programs developed in schools and monitoring, mentoring, and learning activities from parents to children at home. The findings of this study describe that teachers and parents are special creatures that Allah sent to mediate the realization a generation of characters according to Islamic guidance.

Domestic Production Process of Early Korean Broadcast CG Equipment

The development process of domestic CG (Computer Graphics) needs to be studied by classifying the technical part and the design part. This paper analyzes how early domestic broadcast equipment evolved and focused on what went through the development process. Domestic broadcasting companies have introduced and used overseas equipment and have begun to develop their own technology. The development process of the early domestic production technology of broadcasting stations was classified into Character Generator, On-line Real-Time Graphic and Sport Coder. It was found that the orientation of broadcasting technology was conclusively focused on visualization, with socio-cultural factors acting along with the evolution of hardware and software. This research is meaningful in reorganizing the history of the development process of domestic CG technology in the early days through previous research (primary verification), newspaper articles and news coverage (secondary verification). This paper looks at what is missing by regaining the past of CG, and argues that with the advent of new technologies today, we must develop through appropriate division of roles and collaboration between engineers and designers.

Membentuk Karakter Anak Usia Dini Melalui Permainan Tradisional

This article aims to determine the benefits of traditional children's games in the formation of early childhood character. This is motivated by the phenomenon of changes in children's playing activities today, which more often play modern games that are synonymous with the use of technology such as video games and online games. As a result, traditional children's games began to be forgotten and became foreign to children. In addition, the level of addiction to modern games in children is also high so that it has a bad effect on children's habits and behavior. This paper describes the impact that occurs in children when addicted to playing games which results in the character that will be awakened in early childhood. In addition, it also compares the influence of modern games with traditional games on the formation of early childhood character. Restoring traditional children's games as children's games today can be an alternative to create a generation of superior characters.

Improvement of Grain Quality Traits in Bread Wheat Genotypes Through Mutation Breeding Using Gamma Irradiation

This study was conducted to determine changes for some quality characters in M2, M3 and M4 mutated populations of three bread wheat genotypes irradiated by different gamma rays. The results showed that the genotypes significantly and variably differed in their response for various traits at different gamma rays doses in M2, M3, and M4 populations. The shifts per see from the controls for examined quality characters such as thousand-grain weight (TGW), test weight (TW), wet gluten content (GC), gluten index (GI), Zeleny sedimentation value (ZSV), and protein content (PC) in mutant populations were significant according to t-test analysis. The results showed that desired variations could be obtained for quality traits in M2, M3, and M4 generations with different doses of gamma irradiation depending on bread wheat genotypes. Although the shifts per see from the controls for ZSV, GC, and PC were significant, TGW, GI, and TW showed an unchanged or slightly negative response in the M2, M3, and M4 generations. It can be generally said that it may be more appropriate to perform selection after M4 generation for seed quality traits in mutant populations. Although the effect of mutagen doses varies depending on the character, genotype, and mutagenesis generation examined, it can be said that the most appropriategamma-rayy doses are 300 and 200 Gy doses because of causing significant shifts per see from the controls.

AbstractThe nation's agenda towards Indonesia Gold in 2045 becomes a severe challenge for the world of education in Indonesia, because education as the main motor is required to improve itself to prepare the nation's generation that is resilient, critical, adaptive and competitive in accordance with the demands and needs of the times in its time. School as the main home of the education process must compete in printing a generation of achievers and characters. This research aims to discuss a) Implementation of HOTS based character education at Nurul Jadid High School and b) The concept of HOTS in the Formation of Character Education in Nurul Jadid High School. The research method used in this research is Case Study Research with a qualitative approach. The method of data analysis in this study is narrative analysis. The results of this study found that the application of HOTS at Nurul Jadid High School uses four learning models, namely problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning, discovery learning and project-based learning to foster character in students. The use of transformative learning education model in Islamic boarding school is also one of the goals to create a dialogueal, humanist, and communicative teaching-learning activity in developing the psychiatric intelligence of students (Intellectual Quotation, Emotional Quotation, and Spiritual Quotation).

AI-generated characters for supporting personalized learning and well-being

Advancements in machine learning have recently enabled the hyper-realistic synthesis of prose, images, audio and video data, in what is referred to as artificial intelligence (AI)-generated media. These techniques offer novel opportunities for creating interactions with digital portrayals of individuals that can inspire and intrigue us. AI-generated portrayals of characters can feature synthesized faces, bodies and voices of anyone, from a fictional character to a historical figure, or even a deceased family member. Although negative use cases of this technology have dominated the conversation so far, in this Perspective we highlight emerging positive use cases of AI-generated characters, specifically in supporting learning and well-being. We demonstrate an easy-to-use AI character generation pipeline to enable such outcomes and discuss ethical implications as well as the need for including traceability to help maintain trust in the generated media. As we look towards the future, we foresee generative media as a crucial part of the ever growing landscape of human–AI interaction. Digitally recreating the likeness of a person used to be a costly and complex process. Through the use of generative models, AI-generated characters can now be made with relative ease. Pataranutaporn et al. discuss in this Perspective how this technology can be used for positive applications in education and well-being.

Science Learning Based on The Sasak Tribe Tradition to Develop Student Entrepreneurial Attitudes

Entrepreneurial attitude needs to be developed as early as possible so that students have the provision of life skills in the future. Students are expected to become job creators or entrepreneurs when they graduate from school so that students can quickly respond to changes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the science learning based on the Sasak tradition to develop students' entrepreneurial attitudes. The research method used is literature review derived from articles in national and international scientific journals. The results of the literature review show that entrepreneurial attitudes that can be developed include: achievement motivation, taking advantage of opportunities, being creative, innovating, committed, responsible, and independent. One of the science learning models that can facilitate the development of students' entrepreneurial attitudes is the 6E learning cycle model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Exhibit, Evaluate). This model can be related to the traditions of the Sasak tribe, such as weaving typical Lombok cloths that utilize the concept of substances and their characteristics, and making traditional snacks using conventional biotechnology concepts. An entrepreneurial attitude can be developed at each stage, especially at the Exhibit stage, students can exhibit products that have a selling value, such as Sukarara woven cloth and jajan poteng reket. Thus, science learning based on the Sasak tradition is expected to be a strong foundation for further education and to shape the entrepreneurial spirit of students so that they become a generation of superior and character.
