MOTIVASI SISWA DALAM MENGENAL DAN MEMBACA HURUF HIJAIYAH MELALUI MEDIA ANIMASI DI RAUDHATUL ATHFAL AL-MUHAJIRIN TANGERANG

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of animated media on students' motivation to recognize and read hijaiyah letters at Raudhatul Athfal (RA) Al-Muhajirin. The research is grounded in the issue of low student interest and motivation when using conventional teaching methods. By utilizing interactive and visually engaging animation media with audio-visual elements, this study evaluates how such an approach can enhance children's attention, interest, and active participation in the learning process. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and simple questionnaires. The research subjects included one principal, three teachers, and six students. The findings reveal that the use of animation media positively influences students’ learning motivation. Children showed greater enthusiasm, focus, and interest during lessons. Furthermore, animation media was found to assist teachers in delivering material more effectively and creating an enjoyable learning atmosphere. However, several challenges were noted, such as limited technological facilities and the need for intensive guidance. Overall, animation media serves as an effective strategy to enhance student motivation in learning hijaiyah letters at an early age.
