Edukasi Pembentukan Akhlak Islami Anak MDA melalui Kegiatan Bercerita Kisah Nabi dan Rasul di Jorong Lubuk Gadang, Nagari Ampek Koto Palembayan

Abstract

Moral education is an important foundation in shaping the personality of Muslim children. However, the results of initial observations at Madrasah Diniyah Awaliyah (MDA) Jorong Lubuk Gadang, Ampek Koto Palembayan Village, Agam Regency, showed that children's understanding of the stories of the Prophets and Apostles was still limited to memorization and had not been fully linked to daily behavior. This community service activity aims to improve the understanding of Islamic moral values ​​through the method of telling stories of the Prophets and Apostles, forming noble moral behavior, improving teachers' abilities in implementing interactive storytelling, and strengthening the role of parents and the community. The approach used was Participatory Action Research (PAR), combined with storytelling practice training and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The activity was carried out on June 5, 2026 in Ampek Koto Palembayan Village, Palembayan District, Agam Regency, involving 30 participants consisting of MDA children, MDA administrators, teachers, and parents. The implementation of the activity included the delivery of material, interactive storytelling demonstrations, storytelling practice, reflection, and evaluation through observation and questionnaires. The results of the activity showed an increase in children's average understanding from 45% before the training to 82% after. Furthermore, participants were able to apply interactive storytelling techniques, and a commitment was formed among parents and MDA administrators to support the implementation of moral values ​​at home and in the madrasah. Thus, interactive and participatory storytelling is effective in increasing understanding and supporting the formation of Islamic morals.
