THE INFLUENCE OF TRAVO MEDIA (VOCAL TRAY) ON THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE VOCAL LETTERS IN CHILDREN AGED 4-5 YEARS

Abstract

This research is motivated by the lack of ability to recognize children's vowel letters, as well as the lack of media that is less interactive and innovative causing children to be less interested in learning. This study aims to analyze whether or not there is influence of the Travo media (vocal tray) for children aged 4-5 years. The research method used is quantitative and the design used is quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group design. Data collection techniques using observation techniques. The sample in this study was the children of group A at Sultan Agung Islamic Kindergarten, Lamongan Regency, totaling 24 children. The collected data were analyzed using the Independent Sample t-test. The first test was carried out to compare the posttest results of the experiment and the control group. The basis for making decisions on the Independent Sample t-Test is to compare the Sig. (2-tailed) < 0.05 then Ha is accepted Ho is rejected. Vice versa, if the value of Sig. (2-tailed) > 0.05 then Ha is rejected Ho is accepted. Based on the data obtained from the results of the Independent Sample t-Test, it can be concluded that the significance value (2-tailed) is 0.001 <0.05, so Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected. This means that there is an influence of Travo media (vocal tray) on the ability to recognize vowels of children aged 4-5 years. The interesting thing about introducing vowels through Travo media (vocal tray) is that children are very enthusiastic and media materials are rarely used to make media.
