Abstract

This study aims to examine the application of the Ralph W. Tyler Curriculum Model in instilling Islamic values through the storytelling method for children aged 4-5 years at the Early Childhood Education (ECE) level. This study focuses on how learning objectives, learning experiences, material organization, and evaluation can be integrated in storytelling activities to support the formation of children's moral and religious character. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation at ECE institutions. The results show that the storytelling method is effective in conveying Islamic values such as honesty, discipline, empathy, and respect, in accordance with the stage of children's development. Teachers who design learning based on Tyler's curriculum principles are able to systematically formulate learning objectives and evaluate children's behavioural development in a more directed manner. The conclusion of this research is that the integration of the Tyler curriculum model with the storytelling method contributes to the internalization of Islamic values in early childhood education.
