Implementasi Media Pembelajaran Membaca Huruf Hijaiyah Dengan Media Upcycling Di Paud Al Hikmah Wanayasa, Beber, Cirebon

Abstract

The ability to read the Hijaiyah letters is a fundamental aspect of Islamic religious education, especially for early childhood. However, many preschool-aged children face difficulties in recognizing and memorizing the Hijaiyah letters due to the limited methods and learning media used. This community service activity aims to implement interactive and enjoyable learning media at PAUD Al Hikmah, Wanayasa Village, Beber District, Cirebon Regency. The methods used include media development, teacher training, media implementation in the classroom, and evaluation of children's learning outcomes. The evaluation showed a significant improvement in the children's ability to recognize the Hijaiyah letters, with the percentage of children able to recognize at least 28 letters increasing from 30% to 70%. Additionally, teachers responded positively to the use of varied and contextual media, which helped increase the children's motivation to learn. This activity has the potential to become a sustainable learning model in other PAUDs, particularly because it meets the needs and characteristics of early childhood and supports more enjoyable and effective learning.
