This article reviews the use of Fuzzy Delphi in determining the elements of a preschool English listening skill teaching strategy. The choice of these elements can be seen as a process of decision making by experts from early childhood education and English curriculum specialists. This study aims to provide a systematic approach to element selection and element sequencing, in which there are two phases of the procedure. The first stage uses the Fuzzy Delphi Method to obtain expert consensus on the elements and second, to identify the sequences of each element. The results showed that five elements were accepted for the English listening skills teaching strategy with 15 experts as a sample. It meets the threshold value of less than 0.2, and the percentage of expert groups is over 75%. This finding indicates that all of the elements are necessary to develop a preschool listening teaching strategy based on expert consensus.
This article discusses the use of Fuzzy Delphi in defining key components in Self-Defense Training for preschool children. Because the scale of key components has been chosen to provide martial arts training to preschool children, the selection of these components can be seen as a process of decision making by several experts in the fields of early childhood education, martial arts, medicine-pediatrics, and counseling. This study aims to provide a systematic approach to component selection and key component sequencing, in which there are two phases of the procedure. The first stage uses the Delphi Fuzzy Method to obtain expert consensus on the components of martial arts training. In the second stage, the process is used to determine the importance of each of these criteria as a key title that can be measured from the positioning of the component. The results show that all the elements (items) for the main components of Self-Defense Training meet the threshold value (less than 0.2), and the approval rate of expert groups is over 75%. The main components of Self-Defense Training include family relationship activities, relationships with outsiders, emotional and social health management activities, physical & reproductive health, and safety activities. These findings indicate that all of the key components are necessary to establish a martial arts education based on Self-Defense for preschoolers based on expert consensus.

Meanwhile, 99 participants (99%) agreed that teaching skills are important in developing children's listening and speaking skills. A total of 99 participants (99%) agreed that teachers' English competency was important to produce children who could listen well.

The purpose of this study is to examine the issue of sexuality education in the areas of the home and school safety and to identify the types of sexuality education skills that preschool children need to learn from the perspective of teachers and parents. This study uses a quantitative approach to analyzing the questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 126 preschool teachers and parents. The findings of the study show that respondents agree that the root cause of the problem of sexual crime is the lack of exposure to sexuality education at home and at school. While the skills that are most important are the skills of taking care of yourself and others. Therefore, those involved in Preschool Education should take the initiative to provide a special sex education module for pre-schoolers to safeguard themselves.
