IMPLEMENTASI METODE GERAK DAN LAGU UNTUK MENINGKATKAN DAYA INGAT SISWA PADA PEMBELAJARAN FIQIH KELAS 1 MI
Abstract
Ubudiyah education plays a crucial role in shaping students’ understanding and correct practice of worship from an early age. However, the low level of proper worship practices at the secondary education level indicates that theoretical learning approaches are less effective in developing strong memory and understanding. Therefore, teachers at the elementary level are required to innovate in delivering learning materials that emphasize concrete and meaningful experiences. Based on a hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that encourages learning through seeing, hearing, and practicing, this study examines the implementation of the movement and song method in Fiqh learning for first-grade students at MI Darul Huda Bence, Blitar Regency. This study aims to describe the implementation and implications of the movement and song method in improving students’ memory retention. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, with data validity ensured through triangulation. The results indicate that the movement and song method was implemented interactively, beginning with a brief lecture followed by immediate practice of movements and songs, which successfully increased students’ enthusiasm. Although challenges were found in the form of variations in students’ early literacy abilities, these were addressed through intensive oral repetition. The implications of this method were highly significant in enhancing students’ retention and accuracy of memory regarding Fiqh materials, particularly wudu and tayammum, facilitating long-term memory retention, transforming learning behavior into a more proactive form, increasing students’ self-confidence, and creating an enjoyable learning environment. Therefore, the movement and song method is highly recommended as an effective learning strategy to improve memory retention and learning motivation at the elementary education level.
