Hubungan Kegiatan Hafalan Juz Amma terhadap Perkembangan Akademik Anak Usia Dini di TK Al-Anshor Tembung

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Juz Amma memorization program, its impact on the academic development of early childhood students, the correlation between these two variables, and the success factors at TK Al-Anshor Tembung. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved the school principal, two educators, and 25 six-year-old students from Group B as the primary subjects. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. For data analysis, the researchers applied the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which comprises data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with data validity ensured through source and method triangulation. The findings reveal that the memorization program is conducted systematically using the talaqqi method, habituation, muraja'ah, individual checks, and routine evaluations. Furthermore, participation in the program significantly enhances children's cognitive and behavioral growth, as evidenced by improved letter recognition, early literacy, memory capacity, attention span, compliance with teacher instructions, and classroom confidence. The study concludes that the program is strongly linked to enhanced academic progress, driven by the students' internal motivation, parental involvement, a supportive religious school climate, and structural consistency. Consequently, the Juz Amma program serves as both a spiritual activity and an effective catalyst for early childhood academic growth.
