PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN VALUE MORAL CARD (VMC) DALAM PENANAMAN KARAKTER ISLAMI ANAK USIA 4-5 TAHUN DI RA MUSLIMAT NU 17 MALANG

Abstract

Instilling Islamic character in early childhood is crucial for building moral behavior and positive habits. However, utilizing verbal lectures often leaves children aged 4–5 unmotivated and struggling to comprehend abstract moral values. This study aimed to develop the Value Moral Card (VMC) learning media and evaluate its feasibility and practicality at RA Muslimat NU 17 Malang. Using the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, the product was designed as a set of 25 illustrated cards themed around animals mentioned in the Qur'an, integrated with a companion guidebook. Data were gathered through expert validation sheets, teacher response questionnaires, and child activity observation rubrics. The validation results showed that the VMC media is highly valid, achieving scores of 80% from the material expert and 91% from the media expert. The practicality assessment reached an overall average of 91.55% (92.65% from teacher responses, 95.2% from the small-scale trial, and 86.8% from the medium-scale trial), placing it in the highly practical category. Consequently, the VMC learning media is declared highly feasible and practical for internalizing Islamic character values in group A children.
