Abstract

Early childhood literacy development is a fundamental aspect of education because the ability to recognize alphabet letters forms the basis for reading and writing skills. However, many kindergarten children still experience difficulties in identifying and pronouncing letters due to limited engagement and monotonous teaching methods. This study aimed to improve children’s learning outcomes in recognizing alphabet letters through the implementation of Student Active Learning (SAL) in Group B students at ABA Sei Besar Kindergarten. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart model conducted in two cycles involving 12 children aged 5–6 years. Data were collected through observation, learning outcome assessments, field notes, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively using percentage techniques. The findings revealed a significant improvement in children’s alphabet recognition skills after the application of SAL. Learning mastery increased from 42% in the pre-action stage to 79.1% in Cycle I and reached 95.1% in Cycle II. Children became more active, motivated, confident, and collaborative during learning activities involving games, group discussions, and hands-on letter recognition tasks. The study concludes that SAL is an effective and engaging approach for improving early childhood literacy outcomes, particularly alphabet recognition. This research contributes to the development of active learning strategies in early childhood education by emphasizing participatory and child-centered literacy instruction.

Abstract

Vocabulary learning of Arabic for early childhood at TK Handayani Awang Bangkal Barat is an important effort to equip the younger generation with foreign language skills and global insights. This study aims to identify the strategies, approaches, and teaching media applied by teachers in introducing Arabic vocabulary as well as analyzing supporting factors and obstacles encountered during the teaching and learning process. The research method used is qualitative, employing observation and interviews with teachers and students. The findings indicate that teachers use interactive approaches such as educational games, singing, and visual media like flashcards and videos to enhance children’s interest and understanding of the Arabic language. Internal factors such as student motivation and teacher competence, along with external factors like the availability of learning media, play a significant role in the success of vocabulary acquisition. This study recommends the development of enjoyable, adaptive, and age-appropriate teaching methods to improve the effectiveness of Arabic language learning at TK Handayani and other early childhood education institutions.
