Pengaruh Media Pembelajaran Islami dan Kemandirian Anak Terhadap Minat Belajar Anak Usia Dini di PAUD Al-Quran

Abstract

Learning interest is a crucial aspect in early childhood development that needs to be supported through appropriate learning strategies and the stimulation of independence from an early age. This study aims to examine the effect of Islamic learning media and children's independence on early childhood learning interest at PIAUD Al-Quran Ananda. The research employed a quantitative approach with an associative survey method. The population consisted of all parents of students enrolled at PIAUD Al-Quran Ananda in the 2024/2025 academic year, totaling 54 individuals, all of whom were selected as samples using total sampling technique. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring parents' perceptions of the three research variables. Data analysis used multiple linear regression with SPSS 21.0. The results showed that Islamic learning media and children's independence simultaneously had a significant effect on early childhood learning interest (F=44.468; sig. 0.000) with a contribution of 63.6%. Partially, children's independence (t=5.001; sig. 0.000) and Islamic learning media (t=2.735; sig. 0.009) each had a positive and significant effect on learning interest. These findings confirm that the integrated strengthening of children's independence and the utilization of Islamic learning media is an effective strategy in fostering children's learning interest from an early age.
