Review

The article "Penguatan Karakter Empati melalui Program Jum’at Berkah dan Kegiatan “Cooking Class” di PAUD Ash Shibiyan Cipatujah Tasikmalaya" addresses a highly pertinent area of early childhood education: the development of empathy. The study's objective, as outlined in the abstract, is to explore the impact of the "Jumat Berkah" program, specifically through "Cooking Class" activities, on the empathy character of early childhood learners at PAUD Ash Shibiyan. The selection of this particular institution, lauded for its dynamic human resource management and commitment to educational quality, provides a specific and interesting context for examining such initiatives in a regional setting within Tasikmalaya Regency. This focus on practical, integrated approaches to character building in young children is commendable and aligns with contemporary pedagogical trends. Methodologically, the abstract states a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative research and library research with content analysis. This blend suggests an attempt to triangulate findings, although the abstract does not elaborate on the specific instruments or data sources for the quantitative component or the nature of the "content analysis" applied to the library research. Nonetheless, the core finding is clear: both the Jumat Berkah program and the Cooking Class activities significantly contributed to fostering a high level of empathetic character in the participating children. This finding is further contextualized by the assertion that these activities help shape children's personalities in accordance with Islamic values, promoting love for Allah and His Messenger, ultimately benefiting individuals, families, and society. The abstract underscores the importance of effective management of such programs for improving basic education quality. While the abstract presents compelling initial findings, a more detailed elaboration on the methodology in the full paper would significantly strengthen its claims. Specifically, the abstract would benefit from outlining how "high empathy" was quantitatively measured and what specific data were analyzed through content analysis. The study's strength lies in its practical application and the demonstration of how culturally and spiritually rooted programs can be effectively integrated into early childhood education to achieve specific character outcomes. Future research could explore the long-term sustainability of these empathetic traits, conduct comparative studies with other PAUDs, or delve deeper into the specific mechanisms through which cooking classes, combined with broader spiritual programs, cultivate empathy. Overall, this article offers valuable insights into an innovative approach to character education, highlighting the potential of locally tailored programs to enrich children's development.
