Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the influence of mother's education level and employment status on children's readiness for elementary school. Employing a quantitative comparison method, data from 194 children were collected through the NST test and a parental questionnaire. The school readiness, mother's education level, and employment status were assessed. Statistical analysis using SPSS 16.0 and the Anova and t-test techniques revealed that neither the mother's education level (F = 1.139, Sig. = 0.340 > 0.05) nor the employment status (t score = -0.763, Sig. = 0.446 > 0.05) significantly influenced the school readiness of the children. These results suggest that other intervening variables such as parenting styles, socioeconomic status, and child's motivation may be more crucial determinants of a child's preparedness for school. This study offers a novel perspective to parents, educators, and developmental psychologists by challenging conventional assumptions about mother's influence on children's school readiness. Highlights: A mother's education level doesn't significantly influence a child's readiness for elementary school. A mother's employment status (working or non-working) also doesn't significantly affect a child's school readiness. Other factors like parenting styles, socioeconomic status, and child's motivation could be more influential on a child's preparedness for school. Keywords : School Readiness, Mother's Education Level, Working Mother, Not Working Mother

Abstract

This study addresses the underutilization of multilingual capabilities in Indonesia's educational system by introducing a translingual literacy movement, with literature serving as a principal tool. We utilized a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, scrutinizing relevant publications from 2012-2022. The investigation drew from 15 sorted articles from international journals focusing on 'sastra', 'literasi', and 'translingual'. With Indonesia's rich cultural diversity, the potential for multilingual learning is significant, yet educational institutions have inadequately integrated language skills, often creating separate barriers for different languages. The translingual approach, rooted in progressivism, was explored to leverage language diversity as a resource rather than an obstacle, enabling students to better communicate and acquire useful knowledge for their self-development. Literature's role in facilitating this multilingual proficiency was emphasized, promoting imaginative and creative learning against traditional and conservative approaches. The implementation of this translingual literacy movement is expected to empower students to effectively use their multilingual abilities, fostering competitiveness in a global context. The study advocates for a reformed language learning approach, highlighting the need for proper literary resources and a conducive ecosystem to realize students' multilingual potential.Highlights: The importance of the translingual literacy movement in leveraging language diversity and optimizing multilingual abilities in Indonesia. The critical role of literature in fostering imaginative and creative learning, thus facilitating the translingual approach rooted in progressivism. The potential global competitiveness of students enhanced by effective utilization of their multilingual skills via the proposed translingual literacy movement. Keywords: Translingual Literacy, Literature, Multilingualism, Progressive Education, Language Diversity.
