Abstrak

This research aims to enhance the ability of children aged 3–4 years at KB Assyuhada’ Pamekasan to memorize daily prayers through the use of song as a learning medium. The study is motivated by the low memorization skills observed in children when using traditional teaching methods that tend to be monotonous and unengaging. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, carried out in two cycles consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection phases. The participants were 20 children aged 3–4 years. Data collection methods included observation, documentation, and teacher's daily notes, which were then analyzed descriptively. The findings reveal that integrating songs into the learning process significantly enhances children's memorization abilities. The selected songs were tailored to daily prayer texts and composed with melodies that are easy for young learners to follow. Beyond improving memory, this method also creates a more enjoyable learning atmosphere, promotes active involvement, and fosters social interaction. In conclusion, the use of songs proves to be an effective and innovative alternative for teaching prayers in a way that aligns with early childhood developmental stages.
