Abstract

This study aims to formulate an Early Childhood Education (PAUD) curriculum design based on the integration-interconnection model, incorporating the instilling of  Tawhid values through basic science learning. The study is motivated by the persistent dichotomy between science instruction and religious education in early childhood settings, which prevents children from interpreting natural phenomena as signs of the greatness of Allah SWT. A descriptive qualitative approach utilizing a literature review method was employed. Data were gathered from 26 sources including journals, books, and relevant educational documents published between 2020 and 2025and analyzed through processes of identification, classification, interpretation, and synthesis. The study's primary contribution lies in the formulation of an applicable curriculum framework that concretely bridges hands-on empirical science activities with abstract spiritual understanding for young children an operational approach largely unexplored in previous research, which has generally focused on theoretical integration at a macro level. The findings demonstrate that the integration-interconnection concept can holistically link basic science with Islamic values through methods of observation, exploration, and simple experimentation. Consequently, this curriculum offers an effective solution for balancing intellectual intelligence, spiritual growth, and Islamic character development from an early age.

Abstract

Early Childhood Education (ECE) represents a strategic golden age period for fostering children's character and spirituality based on Qur'anic values. The rapid advancement of information technology has created both opportunities and challenges for character education among Generation Alpha. This study aims to analyze the utilization of information technology in optimizing Qur'an-based educational methods, namely exemplary behavior (uswah), storytelling (qashash), and habituation (‘adah) in early childhood education. This study employed a qualitative approach using library research and content analysis of reputable scientific articles indexed in Scopus and Google Scholar published within the last five years. The findings reveal that interactive digital media strengthen the exemplary method by presenting positive role models and moral decision-making simulations. Digital storytelling enhances children's emotional engagement and long-term retention of Qur'anic values without compromising the authenticity of the teachings. In addition, gamification-based applications support the habituation method through digital reward systems that encourage consistent positive behavior. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the pedagogically appropriate integration of information technology grounded in Qur'anic values effectively optimizes the implementation of exemplary behavior, storytelling, and habituation methods in early childhood education. This integration contributes significantly to strengthening children's character, spirituality, and readiness to navigate the challenges of the digital era.
