Evektivitas metode pembelajaran berbasis kisah nabi dalam membentuk karakter anak usia dini di tk alfatah batam

Abstract

Character education in early childhood faces serious challenges due to modern
environmental influences and the decline of moral value internalization in children’s daily lives.
This study aims to examine the role of storytelling methods based on prophetic stories in shaping
moral and religious character in early childhood education at TK Al-Fatah Batu Aji. This research
employs a qualitative descriptive approach through a thematic analysis of prophetic narratives in
the Qur’an, particularly the stories of Prophet Musa, Prophet Ibrahim, Prophet Muhammad, and
Prophet Yunus. The findings reveal that prophetic stories contain strong character education
values, including monotheism, religiosity, honesty, patience, responsibility, self-reflection, and
compassion. Storytelling is proven to be effective because it delivers moral values in an engaging,
contextual, and developmentally appropriate manner, enabling children to better understand and
emulate positive behaviors. Therefore, storytelling based on prophetic narratives can be
implemented as an effective learning strategy to strengthen character education in early childhood
within an Islamic educational framework.
