Tk Kartika XV-6

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the environmental introduction program for Group A children (ages 4-5) at TK Kartika XV-6. The research is conducted at TK Kartika XV-6. Based on previous research on naturalistic and spiritual environmental introductions, the program helps children recognize various components of their natural surroundings, such as flora and fauna, as well as spiritual environments through visits to places of worship. This program also aims to foster a sense of love and care for the environment. Observations made by the researcher indicate that the environmental introduction program is highly effective in developing children's social skills, enabling them to learn about biodiversity, language skills, communication, and personal responsibility. The results of this study show that the program is very effective based on observations and assessments conducted by the researcher. The research method used is qualitative. According to the results of the Taxonomy Analysis, the implementation of naturalistic and spiritual environmental introductions through activities such as visiting natural environments and places of worship has proven effective for children in understanding and preserving their surrounding environment.
