Improving Understanding Of Good Character Through The Habits Method In Class B Of Al-Khuzamy Kindergarten In The 2025/2026 Academic Year

Abstract

This research was structuralized by the low level of understanding regarding noble character (akhlakul karimah) among group B children at TK Al-Khuzamy Bentek, which was indicated by a lack of discipline in greeting, implementing a queuing culture, behaving respectfully towards educators, and orderliness in praying before and after conducting learning routines. The central objective of this action research is to describe the improvement of early childhood moral and character understanding through systematic implementation of the daily habituation method. The methodology adopted was Classroom Action Research (CAR) executed across two interconnected cycles, where each cycle comprised planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages. The research subjects consisted of 14 students within Group B at TK Al-Khuzamy Bentek. Data compilation techniques were administered through operational observation checklists, structured interviews, portfolio documentation, and child performance tasks. The empirical outcomes manifested a progressive improvement in children's moral indicators. In the Pre-Cycle phase, classical mastery achievement only reached 28.26% with an average performance score of 51. Following interventions in Cycle I, the completion threshold expanded to 50% with an average classroom score of 67. The peak of action success was fully established during Cycle II, where classical mastery advanced to 85.57% with a mean score of 77, successfully outperforming the institutional target criteria of 75%. Based on these explicit milestones, it is concluded that the utilization of daily habituation methods is profoundly effective to optimize noble character development.
