Abstract

The ability to recognize letters should ideally begin to appear when the child is 3-5 years old. But what if there are children who cannot recognize letters at that age? What causes the obstacles to recognizing letters? The purpose of this study is to identify variables that contribute to the problem of letter recognition in children aged 5-6 years. This research combines case study methodology with a qualitative approach. Two students in class B at TKIT Nidaul Hikmah Salatiga who had difficulty learning to distinguish letters were the subjects of this study. Data collection techniques through observation and interviews were supported by documentation and anecdotal records. Teachers, parents, and children were the sources of data. The Miles and Huberman model was used in data analysis procedures such as data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study found barriers stemming from internal and external factors. Internal factors found include children's lack of interest, children's tendencies, and the absence of enthusiasm to be able and master new things in children. Meanwhile, one of the external and non-social variables that contribute to children's difficulties in identifying letters is the absence of media during learning sessions at home, as well as children's tendency to play gadgets.

 

ABSTRAK

Kemampuan mengenal huruf idealnya mulai terlihat sejak anak berusia 3-5 tahun. Namun bagaimana jika ada anak yang belum bisa megenal huruf di usia tersebut? Apakah yang menyebabkan hambatan mengenal huruf? Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi variabel-variabel yang berkontribusi terhadap permasalahan pengenalan huruf pada anak usia 5–6 tahun. Penelitian ini memadukan metodologi studi kasus dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Dua orang siswa kelas B TKIT Nidaul Hikmah Salatiga yang mengalami kesulitan belajar membedakan huruf menjadi subjek penelitian ini. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi dan wawancara didukung dengan dokumentasi dan catatan anekdot. Guru, orang tua, dan anak adalah sumber datanya. Model Miles dan Huberman digunakan dalam prosedur analisis data seperti pengumpulan data, reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Penelitian ini menemukan hambatan berasal dari faktor internal dan eksternal. Faktor internal yang ditemukan meliputi kurangnya minat anak, kecenderungan anak, dan tidak adanya semangat untuk bisa dan mengusai hal yang baru pada diri anak. Sedangkan salah satu variabel eksternal dan non-sosial yang berkontribusi terhadap kesulitan anak dalam mengidentifikasi huruf adalah tidak adanya media pada saat sesi belajar di rumah, serta kecenderungan anak bermain gadget.
