Penerapan Metode Belajar Kelompok Untuk Meningkatkan Semangat Belajar Anak Usia Dini di RA Al Islamiyah

Abstract

This article aims to determine how the application of group learning methods can increase the enthusiasm for learning in early childhood at Ra Al Islamiyah. The enthusiasm for learning is very important in the learning process because it can influence the activeness, attention, and involvement of children during learning activities. In this case, teachers and parents have a crucial role in fostering enthusiasm for learning in children from an early age. Therefore, learning methods are needed that are interesting and directly involve children, one of which is through group learning activities. To achieve this goal, the author conducted research at one of the early childhood education institutions, RA Al Islamiyah. This research was also supplemented by a literature review by studying various scientific sources such as books and journals related to early childhood learning. The results of the study at Ra Al Islamiyah showed that the group learning method can increase children's enthusiasm for learning. Children appear more active, more enthusiastic, and more interested in participating in learning activities when they study with their friends in small groups. In addition, group learning activities also help children learn to work together, communicate, and dare to express their opinions.
