Strategi Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh Berbasis Media Daring dalam Mengembangkan Nilai Agama dan Moral Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

Pendidikan anak usia dini memegang peranan fundamental dalam meletakkan dasar pengembangan potensi, karakter, serta pembentukan nilai agama dan moral sejak dini, di mana pemanfaatan Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh (PJJ) berbasis media daring menjadi alternatif penting di tengah keterbatasan ruang dan waktu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis studi kasus untuk mengeksplorasi strategi PJJ dalam mengembangkan nilai agama dan moral anak usia dini melalui pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara mendalam dengan kepala sekolah, guru, dan orang tua, serta dokumentasi yang dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif dengan uji keabsahan data melalui triangulasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan PJJ di lembaga anak usia dini diimplementasikan secara terprogram menggunakan kombinasi media daring interaktif, video pembelajaran, serta dukungan pendampingan orang tua di rumah. Dengan demikian, strategi PJJ terbukti efektif dalam menstimulasi aspek perkembangan nilai agama dan moral anak, seperti pembiasaan doa harian, pengenalan ibadah sederhana, dan pembentukan perilaku baik melalui pengalaman belajar digital yang fleksibel.

Early childhood education plays a fundamental role in laying the foundation for the development of potential, character, and the formation of religious and moral values from an early age, where the use of online media-based Distance Learning (PJJ) serves as an important alternative amidst space and time limitations. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study type to explore PJJ strategies in developing early childhood religious and moral values through data collection methods including observation, in-depth interviews with principals, teachers, and parents, as well as documentation, which were analyzed descriptively through qualitative data validity testing via triangulation. The results indicate that the implementation of PJJ in early childhood institutions is carried out programmatically using a combination of interactive online media, learning videos, and intensive parental support at home. Consequently, the PJJ strategy has proven effective in stimulating aspects of children's religious and moral development, such as the habituation of daily prayers, the introduction of simple worship, and the formation of good behavior through flexible digital learning experiences.
