Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Flipbook Berbasis Etnopedagogi Budaya Minangkabau dalam Penanaman Nilai Moral Dan Agama Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

This study addresses the limited use of innovative learning media for fostering moral and religious values in early childhood education and the insufficient integration of Minangkabau cultural values into classroom learning. These challenges often result in less engaging learning experiences, reducing children's interest and limiting the internalization of positive moral and religious behaviours. The study aimed to develop an ethnopedagogy-based flipbook learning media incorporating Minangkabau culture that is valid, practical, and effective for strengthening moral and religious values among young children. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The study was conducted at RA Adz Dzikra Isyhaarul Jannah and involved expert validators, teachers, and 13 early childhood learners. Research instruments included material, media, and language validation sheets, teacher response questionnaires, and children's learning outcome assessment sheets. Quantitative descriptive analysis was used to determine the levels of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The findings revealed that the developed flipbook achieved an overall validity score of 89.33% (very valid), comprising language validity of 92%, media validity of 84%, and material validity of 92%. The practicality test based on teacher responses reached 86%, indicating that the media was very practical for classroom implementation. Furthermore, the effectiveness test showed a success rate of 92.30%, classified as Very Well Developed, demonstrating that the flipbook effectively enhanced children's moral and religious values through culturally meaningful learning experiences. These findings suggest that integrating ethnopedagogical principles and local cultural wisdom into digital learning media can enrich early childhood education by promoting meaningful character development. It is recommended that early childhood educators adopt culturally responsive digital learning resources and further explore similar media based on other local cultural traditions to support holistic child development.
