Sopiaranti — 2026-03-30

Instilling religious values during the “Golden Age” faces significant challenges, such as low worship discipline due to formalistic and rigid teaching methods. PAUD Darul Uchwah Bogor addresses this by implementing a unique strategy that integrates multiple senses into the learning process. This study aims to describe the congregational prayer habituation strategy and analyze its impact on the formation of disciplined and independent character in children. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with educators, and documentation of supporting facilities. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, encompassing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings indicate that PAUD Darul Uchwah implements a “Multi-Sensory Habituation” strategy that combines: (1) Routine practice every Friday for kinesthetic reinforcement; (2) The use of prayer recitation memorization cards as a visual stimulant and cognitive control tool; and (3) The “Prayer Pillars” song method to lower children's affective filter (emotional barriers). Despite challenges such as limited attention spans and inconsistency in the home environment, this strategy has proven significant in shaping children's discipline and independence. The integration of creative media and routine habituation successfully transforms worship into a joyful learning activity while strengthening the foundation of children's religiosity from an early age.
