Penggunaan Media Papan Magnetik Cerita (Magnetic Storyboard) untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Menyimak Anak pada Kisah Nabi RA Baiturrahman Tasikmalaya

Abstract

This study explores the use of Magnetic Storyboard media to enhance children's listening skills in learning the stories of the Prophets at RA Baiturrahman Tasikmalaya. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a classroom action research (CAR) design. The intervention involves using a magnetic storyboard, where children can interactively follow the stories of the Prophets through visual images and magnetic pieces that represent characters and scenes. Data were collected through observations, student reflections, and teacher interviews. The findings indicate that the use of Magnetic Storyboard significantly improved children's listening skills, as they were more engaged and focused during the storytelling process. The visual and interactive nature of the medium helped children understand the stories better and retain information more effectively. Additionally, the study shows that using Magnetic Storyboard in teaching the stories of the Prophets is an innovative and effective way to make religious education more engaging for young children. The results suggest that this method can be used as a valuable tool to improve both listening comprehension and emotional connection to the stories of the Prophets in early childhood education.
