Abstract
Makalah ini membincangkan dapatan kajian tentang pembelajaran kanak-kanak tahun akhir dalam program empat tahun pendidikan Islam hujung minggu. Dalam program ini, kanak-kanak berusia 5-8 tahun menghafal ayat-ayat al-Quran dan mempelajari kaitan nilai dan amalan Islam dalam kehidupan harian mereka melalui aktiviti yang bersesuaian dengan umur. Pembelajaran dalam program ini boleh dianggap holistik kerana ia mampu merangsang pemikiran (kognitif), perasaan (afektif) dan refleksi (spiritual) – tiga dimensi yang saling melengkapi dalam proses pembelajaran agama kanak-kanak ini. Perkongsian mereka tentang apa yang mereka pelajari menunjukkan wujudnya interaksi antara dimensi-dimensi pembelajaran ini. Interaksi sedemikian, seperti yang dihujahkan dalam makalah ini, boleh membawa kepada pengalaman pembelajaran yang transformatif sedang program ini bertumpu pada pemerolehan worldview Islam terhadap kehidupan.
This paper discusses the findings of a study on children’s learning in the final-year of a four-year weekend Islamic education program. In this program, children aged 5-8 years memorize the verses of the Quran and learn the relevance of Islamic values and practices in their daily lives through age-appropriate activities. Learning in this program can be considered holistic because it is able to stimulate thinking (cognitive), feelings (affective) and reflection (spiritual) – three complementary dimensions in the process of learning the religion. The children’s sharing of what they learn indicates the existence of interactions between these dimensions of learning. Such interactions, as argued in this paper, can lead to transformative learning experiences as the program focuses on the acquisition of an Islamic worldview of life.
