Abstract

This research is motivated by the less-than-optimal symbolic thinking ability of children aged 5-6 years, which is caused by the minimal use of learning media. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the use of animated videos on the symbolic thinking ability of children aged 5-6 years at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Kindergarten Sumbergede. The method used in this study was quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent group design type. The research sample consisted of 30 children, where 15 children were placed in the experimental group and 15 children in the control group. The results of the hypothesis test using the Independent Sample t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 <0.05, which indicated the effect of the use of animated videos on the symbolic thinking ability of children aged 5-6 years at Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal Kindergarten Sumbergede. The findings of this study indicate that the use of animated video media has a positive effect on the symbolic thinking ability of children aged 5-6 years, when compared to conventional methods that only rely on worksheets.
