Pembentukan Karakter Anak Melalui Pengenalan Karya Sastra Puisi Di Tpa Al-Ikhlas Pondok Aren

Teknologi yang berkembang di era transformasi industri 4.0 memberi dampak positif sekaligus negatif di segala aspek kehidupan manusia. Salah satu dampak negatif yang ditimbulkan jika masyarakat hanya berfokus cara menghadapi revolusi, tanpa mengindahkan pembentukan karakter anak yang dapat menyebabkan merosotnya nilai moral bangsa. Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an (TPA) Al-Ikhlas yang berlokasi di Pondok Aren merupakan salah satu lembaga pendidikan agama yang dipercaya mampu memberikan pendidikan karakter anak. Di TPA tersebut mengalami beberapa kendala dalam proses pendidikan karakter anak, yaitu minimnya pemahaman orang tua tentang pentingnya pendidikan karakter anak, kurangnya peran lingkungan dalam pembentukan karakter anak usia dini, rendahnya minat baca anak-anak, dan metode pembelajaran yang monoton. Oleh sebab itu, TPA Al-Ikhlas dijadikan tempat pelaksanaan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat berupa pengajaran pendidikan karakter menggunakan karya sastra puisi berbahasa Inggris guna meningkatkan motivasi belajar para peserta didik. Metode yang digunakan adalah Total Phisycal Response mengingat peserta didik adalah anak usia dini. Para pendidik berperan secara aktif memberi contoh membacakan puisi, mempraktekkan dengan gerak tubuh dan intonasi yang tepat, menjelaskan isi kandungan puisi, dan di akhir kegiatan peserta didik akan dibimbing untuk membacakan puisi secara bergantian, membuat gambar ilustrasi, dan juga membuat puisi. Sehingga, pesan moral yang disampaikan melalui metode yang interaktif diharapkan mampu memberikan pendidikan karakter pada peserta didik secara maksimal. Terlebih lagi, para peserta didik dapat belajar bahasa Inggris bersama-sama dengan lebih menyenangkan. Kegiatan PkM dengan puisi ini mampu membentuk karakter anak, memberikan pesan moral dan nasehat, menghibur, serta memotivasi anak untuk berbahasa Inggris
