Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi pedagogis guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini dalam menerapkan storytelling berbasis cerita rakyat sebagai media pembelajaran dan sarana penguatan karakter anak. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di PAUD Permata Bunda Sungai Indarung, Nagari Lolo, Kabupaten Solok, dengan sasaran utama tiga orang guru serta melibatkan tiga orang tua dan dua puluh satu orang siswa pada tahap implementasi. Permasalahan mitra meliputi keterbatasan kemampuan mendongeng, penguasaan teknik vokal, intonasi, ekspresi, gestur, kontak mata, dan pemanfaatan media pendukung, serta belum optimalnya penggunaan cerita rakyat lokal dalam pembelajaran. Kegiatan menggunakan pendekatan partisipatif melalui identifikasi kebutuhan, pelatihan, demonstrasi, diskusi, praktik peer teaching, pendampingan, serta monitoring dan evaluasi. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata pemahaman konseptual guru dari skor 55,00 menjadi 85,00. Keterampilan praktik storytelling mencapai skor rata-rata 3,25 pada skala 1–4 dengan kategori baik. Pada implementasi pembelajaran, siswa menunjukkan perhatian dan partisipasi yang lebih aktif serta mampu mengidentifikasi tokoh, membedakan perilaku baik dan buruk, dan menyebutkan nilai moral cerita. Luaran kegiatan berupa peningkatan kompetensi guru, modul pelatihan, contoh cerita rakyat, dokumentasi, video pembelajaran, laporan kegiatan, dan artikel ilmiah. Kegiatan ini memberikan nilai tambah melalui integrasi kearifan lokal sebagai media pendidikan karakter sekaligus pelestarian budaya daerah.
