Abstrak

This study aims to reveal the strategies used by class teachers in instilling a sense of love for Allah and the Messenger of Allah in early childhood through the storytelling method at RA Alfalah Nagari Pilubang, and to identify the obstacles faced in its implementation. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with the research location at RA Alfalah Nagari Pilubang. Informants in this study included the principal, Mrs. Suryati, S.Pd, and several class teachers, namely Mrs. Yulfanida, S.Pd, Mrs. Weni Usman, S.Pd, and Mrs. Nilam Sari, S.Pd. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that teachers used various strategies such as reading story books with Islamic values, using illustrations, flannel boards, and digital media such as cellphones and laptops. However, a number of challenges emerged, including children easily getting bored if the story was not accompanied by pictures or videos, limited interesting picture books, minimal supporting facilities, and difficulty maintaining children's concentration. To overcome this, teachers take the initiative to use various additional media, create simple and touching stories, involve children in the storytelling process, connect the contents of the story with everyday life, and create a comfortable and interesting learning atmosphere.
