Keywords:
KAWA, early childhood education, Javanese culture, character educationAbstract
The Javanese Insight Children's Curriculum (KAWA) is an early childhood education innovation that integrates Javanese cultural values in the learning process. This study aims to describe the implementation of KAWA and its influence on early childhood development on motor, social-emotional, language, cognitive, and cultural aspects. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach supported by quantitative data. The subjects of the study included 50 PAUD children aged 4–6 years in Yogyakarta, six teachers, and 30 parents. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed with the percentage of child developmental achievements. The results of the study showed that the application of KAWA was able to improve children's development holistically: motor (82%), social-emotional (85%), language (78%), cognitive (80%), and culture and character (88%). These findings show that KAWA not only supports academic learning, but also strengthens children's cultural identity and character from an early age. Therefore, KAWA can be used as a curriculum model based on local wisdom that is relevant to be applied in various regions in Indonesia.
