IMPLEMENTASI VIDEO PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS ANIMASI DALAM MENUMBUHKAN MINAT BELAJAR ANAK DI TK IT KOBARKA

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of animation-based learning videos in fostering children’s learning interest at TK IT Kobarka. The research questions cover: how animation videos are implemented in learning, how children’s learning interest changes before and after the use of the media, and what factors support or hinder its implementation. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study method. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews with the principal, teachers, and students, as well as documentation. Data analysis used the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that animation videos are used as an apperception tool with a duration of 5–7 minutes and are integrated with play-based learning, storytelling, and question-and-answer activities. After using animation videos, children demonstrated increased enthusiasm, focus, and willingness to answer questions. Supporting factors include institutional support, facility availability, and the engaging nature of animated media. Constraints include limited devices, technical disruptions, and the need for age-appropriate content selection. This study concludes that animation-based learning videos can effectively foster early childhood learning interest when used appropriately and supported by teacher readiness and adequate facilities.
