Early childhood education Teacher effectiveness, teacher certification, teacher performance, KindergartenAbstract
This study aims to explore the teaching experiences and methods employed by kindergarten teachers at Nur Ichsany Lepo-Lepo Kendari, as well as the dynamics of early childhood education professional development and training. Utilizing a qualitative approach with five informants, data was collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using content analysis. The findings indicate that, despite diverse educational backgrounds and teaching experiences, all teachers emphasize the importance of understanding the needs and emotions of young children and utilizing enjoyable teaching methods. Participation in Professional Teacher Education (PTE) and early childhood training has a positive impact on teaching experiences, enhancing competencies and readiness to face learning challenges. Teacher certification elicits varied perspectives, but the majority believe it improves the quality of teaching. The need for teacher professionalism development is acknowledged, and the integration of theory and research supports the foundation of effective teaching strategies. This research provides insights into early childhood education, focusing on teacher experiences and the dynamics of professional education.References
