THE EFFECT OF STORY METHODS WITH OBJECTS AROUND TO THE INDEPENDENCE OF CHILDRENLL

Abstract

Children's independence can be seen from the ability of children to think and do for themselves so that children are not dependent on others. Building children's independence is easier to do early on and done in a fun way such as telling a story that is recognized by the child for example by using things around. The purpose of this research is to prove the effect of story methods with objects around to the independence of children. This research design uses pra eksperimen design with one group pre-post test design. The population of this research is all 80 children of RA Mu'awanah Al- Hasyimiyah Jombang. The sample of this study were all children of RA Mu'awanah Al-Hasyimiyah Jombang with 80 respondents taken by total sampling. The measuring instrument used was a questionnaire to assess the independence of children which consists of 5 negative statements and 5 positive statements with 100% valid and reliable test results with ρ= 0.982. Research time September 2019. Statistik test using the Wilcoxon Sign Rank test with table= 0.05. The results showed that respondents who had positive independence from 38 (47.5%) respondents increased to 71 (88.75%) of respondents after being given a story on the topic of using things around such as shoes, sandals, clothes, toys, stationery. Wilcoxon Sign Test results Rank ρcount= 0,000 and table= 0.05. This means that there is an influence of the story method with objects around to the independence of children. Stories with things around that are already known and are familiar with the child even every day used by the child can reflect independent behavior so that the child can do something without help from others, able to make choices and take responsibility for his choices.
