Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Flashcard terhadap Kemampuan Bercerita Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun Di RA Amanah Padangsidimpuan Hutaimbaru

Abstract

This research was motivated by group B children at RA Amanah Padangsidimpuan Hutaimbaru, it was known that the children were not yet able to tell stories. This was proven by conducting an interview with one of the teaching staff who confirmed that the storytelling activities carried out still revolved around using storybooks. Telling stories for children during class activities is not interesting, because what happens during learning activities is that media is not used that can stimulate children to tell stories. Apart from that, when storytelling activities do not involve children, children are asked to listen and listen to the stories told by the teacher. This makes children enjoy playing alone and don't want to listen to the teacher when telling stories, the media used is only story books. The formulation of the problem in this research is whether there is an influence of the use of flashcard media on the storytelling ability of children aged 5-6 years at RA Amanah Padangsidimpuan Hutaimbaru. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of flashcard media on the storytelling ability of children aged 5-6 years at RA Amanah Padangsidimpuan Hutaimbaru.
