Abstrak

The purpose of this study was to improve the listening skills of children aged 5–6 years through the storytelling method at Yan-An Kindergarten. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages: planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 15 children in Group B of Yan-An Kindergarten, aged 5–6 years. Data were collected through observation and field notes. The children’s listening skills were assessed based on eight indicators: focusing attention, listening to stories/information, understanding the content of stories/information, remembering information, following the sequence of the story, retelling the story, responding to questions, and understanding the message of the story. The results showed an improvement in the children’s listening skills after the storytelling method was implemented. In the pre-cycle, out of 15 children, 2 children (13.33%) were categorized as Developing as Expected (BSH), 11 children (73.33%) were categorized as Beginning to Develop (MB), and 2 children (13.33%) were categorized as Not Yet Developing (BB). In Cycle I, 4 children were categorized as Very Well Developed (BSB), 4 children as Developing as Expected (BSH), and 7 children as Beginning to Develop (MB). In Cycle II, 13 children (86.67%).
