ABSTRACT
Early childhood education plays an important role in shaping children’s character and creativity through meaningful learning experiences. Educational play-based learning is an approach that aligns with children’s developmental characteristics; however, its implementation still faces challenges, including limited learning media, teacher readiness, and insufficient school management support. Studies examining the role of school principal management in developing creativity through educational play-based learning in Indonesian early childhood education contexts remain limited. This study aims to analyze school principal management in improving creativity in educational play-based learning and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its implementation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach conducted at TK Negeri Pembina Banjarmasin Tengah 3, involving school principals and teachers selected purposively. Data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that school principal management through planning, implementation, supervision, and evaluation contributed to creating creative and meaningful play-based learning. Supporting factors included school principal commitment, teacher competence, learning media availability, a supportive school environment, and parental involvement, while inhibiting factors included limited learning media, time constraints, and insufficient stimulation from families. This study concludes that effective school principal management plays an important role in supporting the development of children’s creativity and character through educational play-based learning.
ABSTRAK
Pendidikan anak usia dini berperan penting dalam membentuk karakter dan kreativitas anak melalui pengalaman belajar yang bermakna. Pembelajaran berbasis bermain edukatif menjadi pendekatan yang sesuai dengan karakteristik perkembangan anak, namun implementasinya masih menghadapi kendala berupa keterbatasan media, kesiapan guru, dan belum optimalnya dukungan manajemen sekolah. Kajian mengenai peran manajemen kepala sekolah dalam mengembangkan kreativitas pembelajaran berbasis bermain edukatif pada konteks PAUD di Indonesia masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis manajemen kepala sekolah dalam meningkatkan kreativitas pembelajaran berbasis bermain edukatif serta mengidentifikasi faktor pendukung dan penghambatnya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif di TK Negeri Pembina Banjarmasin Tengah 3 dengan partisipan kepala sekolah dan guru yang dipilih secara purposive. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara semi-terstruktur, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña melalui kondensasi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manajemen kepala sekolah melalui perencanaan, pelaksanaan, supervisi, dan evaluasi berkontribusi dalam menciptakan pembelajaran berbasis bermain yang kreatif dan bermakna. Dukungan kepala sekolah, kompetensi guru, media pembelajaran, lingkungan sekolah, dan keterlibatan orang tua menjadi faktor pendukung, sedangkan keterbatasan media, waktu, serta stimulasi keluarga menjadi faktor penghambat. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa manajemen kepala sekolah yang efektif berperan penting dalam mendukung pengembangan kreativitas dan karakter anak usia dini melalui pembelajaran berbasis bermain edukatif.
