Integrasi Nilai-Nilai Hikmah Ramadhan pada Kegiatan Pembelajaran Anak Usia Dini

Integrating the Lessons of Ramadan into Early Childhood Learning Activities

Abstract

Instilling religious values and character from an early ageis a crucial aspect in shaping a generation of noble character. The month of Ramadan offers various lessons that can serve as a means of character educationfor young children, such as religious values, discipline, honesty, patience and social awareness. However, the implementation of these values in learning activities within early childhood education institutions still requires further in-depth study. This study aims to describe the integration of the values of Ramadan into learning activities for young children, as well as their impact on the development of religious, moral, social, and character values among children at AM Jepara Nursery School. The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. The research subjects comprised 15 children from Group B and one class teacher. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and triangulation, and were subsequently analysed using data reduction, data presentation, and the drawing of conclusions and verification. The research findings indicate that the values of Ramadan’s wisdom are integrated through activities such as congregational Dhuha prayer, reciting prayers and short surahs, an introduction to fasting, charity, sharing with others, and Ramadan-themed arts and crafts. These activities have a positive impact on children’s development, as evidenced by an increase in religious understanding, honesty, empathy, social awareness, patience, discipline, and the ability to distinguish between good and bad behaviour

Penanaman nilai-nilai agama dan karakter sejak usia dini merupakan aspek penting dalam membentuk generasi yang berakhlak mulia. Bulan Ramadhan memiliki berbagai hikmah yang dapat dijadikan sarana pendidikan karakter bagi anak usia dini, seperti nilai religius, disiplin, kejujuran, kesabaran, dan kepedulian sosial. Namun, implementasi nilai-nilai tersebut dalam kegiatan pembelajaran di lembaga pendidikan anak usia dini masih perlu dikaji secara mendalam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan integrasi nilai-nilai hikmah Ramadhan dalam kegiatan pembelajaran anak usia dini serta dampaknya terhadap perkembangan nilai agama, moral, sosial, dan karakter anak di TK AM Jepara. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 15 anak kelompok B dan seorang guru kelas. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi, dan triangulasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan dan verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai hikmah Ramadhan diintegrasikan melalui kegiatan salat dhuha berjamaah, membaca doa dan surat pendek, pengenalan puasa, sedekah, berbagi dengan sesama, serta kegiatan seni bertema Ramadhan. Kegiatan tersebut memberikan dampak positif terhadap perkembangan anak, ditandai dengan meningkatnya pemahaman keagamaan, sikap jujur, empati, kepedulian sosial, kesabaran, disiplin, serta kemampuan membedakan perilaku baik dan buruk.
