Abstract

This study aims to determine the improvement of religious and moral values through daily prayer habituation in children aged 4-5 years at TK Aisyiyah 93 Tanjung Duren, West Jakarta. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The study was conducted in two cycles with each cycle consisting of 5 meetings involving 10 children (5 boys and 5 girls). Data collection instruments included observation and documentation. The results showed a significant improvement in children's religious and moral values from the pre-cycle stage (30%) to Cycle I (55%), and further increased to 80% in Cycle II. This improvement covered six indicators: children acknowledging mistakes, children apologizing, children returning items that do not belong to them, children memorizing prayer for learning, children memorizing prayer for eating, and children memorizing prayer for sleeping. Daily prayer habituation proved effective because it was conducted consistently and repeatedly in children's daily lives, in line with the characteristics of early childhood learning that requires repetition and role modeling. This study recommends daily prayer habituation as an effective method for developing religious and moral values in early childhood.
