Increasing Children's Learning Concentration Through the Application of the Picture Story Method in Group B at RA Nurul Amanah

Abstract

This study aims to improve children's learning concentration through the application of the pictorial story method in group B RA Nurul Amanah. The subjects of this study are five students who have a category of lack of focus in learning, namely Abdul Fattah Ar-Raudoh, Azril Muhammad Faiz, Muhammad Kiandra Afkari, Revan Maulana Rafasya, and Reza Aldiansyah. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (PTK) with the Kemmis & McTaggart model which consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection is carried out through observation and documentation. The results of the study show that the application of the picture story method can increase students' learning concentration. This can be seen from the increase in observation scores in each cycle which shows that children are more focused on participating in learning. Thus, the pictorial story method can be an alternative learning strategy to improve early childhood concentration. Keywords: Study concentration, picture story method, early childhood, PTK
