The Effect Of Constructive Play With Block Media On Mathematical Logic Ability in Kindergarten

Abstract

Abstract. The problem in this study is how does the description of children's mathematical logic abilities before and after stimulating constructive play activities using blocks media, does constructive play with block media affect children's mathematical logic abilities? The purpose of this study was to describe the mathematical logic skills of children before and after being given constructive play with block media, and to determine the effectiveness of constructive play with block media in early childhood education children. The type of research used in this study is a Quasi Experimental Design research type. The population in this study were all children in group B, totaling 96 children in PAUD Terpadu Teratai. Determination of the sample using nonprobability sampling technique with purposive sampling so that the selected sample is group B1, amounting to 20 students as the experimental class and the sample for the control class is group B2 totaling 20 students. Data collection techniques through test and documentation techniques. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistical analysis and nonparametric statistical analysis. The results showed that the mathematical logic skills of children before being given treatment were in the category of starting to develop and after being given the treatment they were in the developing category as expected, it can be concluded that there was an effect of constructive play with block media on the mathematical logic skills of children in group B PAUD Terpadu Teratai, Makassar.
