Application of Singing Method to Instill Character in Students of Group B RA Muslimat Tanwirut Thullab Geger Magersari Plumpang Tuban

Abstract

Character cultivation from an early age is an important aspect in shaping a child's personality. One of the methods that can be used in this process is the singing method. This study aims to analyze the application of the singing method in instilling the character of group B students at RA Muslimat Tanwirut Thullab, Geger Magersari, Plumpang, Tuban. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the singing method plays an effective role in instilling character values, such as discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and religious attitudes. The songs used in learning have lyrics that are full of moral messages, making it easier for children to understand and internalize these values. In addition, this method creates a fun, interactive learning atmosphere and increases student engagement in the learning process. The advantage of the singing method is its ability to improve children's memory, so that the character values taught are easier to understand and apply in daily life. Thus, the singing method can be used as an effective strategy in early childhood character education, especially in the RA or kindergarten environment
