Efektivitas Penggunaan Media Animasi Diva terhadap Pengenalan Huruf Hijaiyah Anak Usia Dini di Kober Assyafi’iyah

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine how effectively the Diva animated media helps young children understand hijaiyah letters. Student learning difficulties often arise due to conventional teaching methods and the lack of engaging learning media. This research employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a nonequivalent control group design. At Kober Assyafi’iyah, twenty children aged four to five years were divided into experimental and control groups. A pretest and posttest were administered before the data were analyzed using a t-test. The results revealed that the use of Diva animated media significantly improved the ability to recognize hijaiyah letters, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The Diva animation successfully captured children’s attention, enhanced their motivation to learn, and created an enjoyable and engaging learning environment. This medium proved effective in making the learning process more enjoyable and interactive while aligning with the developmental characteristics of early childhood. The study contributes to the development of innovative and engaging learning media, making it easier for early childhood teachers to teach hijaiyah letter recognition more effectively and enjoyably. Thus, the use of animated media not only serves as a creative alternative to conventional methods but also has the potential to enhance learning interest, active engagement, and children’s understanding of hijaiyah letters more deeply.
