Menanamkan Aspek Sosial Emosional Melalui Metode Metode Bermain Peran Pada Anak Kelompok B TK Tunas Bangsa Desa Tatah Alayung Kecamatan Mandastana Kabupaten Barito Kuala

Abstract

Social-emotional development is an important aspect of early childhood development because it supports children’s ability to interact, communicate, develop self-confidence, and follow rules in their social environment. However, children may experience difficulties in expressing themselves, interacting with peers, and demonstrating discipline during learning activities. This study aimed to improve children’s social-emotional development through the role-playing method in Group B of TK Tunas Bangsa, Tatah Alayung Village, Mandastana District, Barito Kuala Regency. The study employed Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles, consisting of two meetings in Cycle I and one meeting in Cycle II. The participants were 15 children in Group B. Data were collected through observation and documentation, focusing on children’s activities and social-emotional development, particularly confidence and discipline. The results showed that the implementation of role-playing activities increased children’s participation and social-emotional development. In the first meeting of Cycle I, 40% of children achieved the expected level of development, increasing to 66.67% in the second meeting. In Cycle II, the achievement reached 100%, with 40% of children categorized as Developing as Expected and 60% as Developing Very Well. These findings indicate that the role-playing method can effectively support the development of children’s social-emotional abilities through active, interactive, and enjoyable learning experiences.
