PENGARUH BERMAIN PROYEK DENGAN MEDIA BAHAN ALAM TERHADAP KREATIVITAS ANAK DI TK WAHYU

Abstract

The major goal of this study is to examine how Project Play affects young children's creativity. This was accomplished using a quasi-experimental design and a quantitative research methodology. A total of 30 kids were enrolled in the study, and a sample size of 24 was split into two groups: 12 were in the experimental group and 12 were in the control group. The experimental group's data analysis included descriptive statistical techniques and a non-parametric assessment of the children's creative abilities. A test statistic of -3.063 and a two-tailed p-value of 0.002—both less than the significance level of 0.05—showed a significant difference in originality between the groups. These findings imply that children exposed to Project Play activities that used natural materials as a medium demonstrated greater creativity than the control group. In conclusion, engaging in project play activities with natural materials has a significant impact on the creativity of children at Wahyu Kindergarten.
