Abstract

Empathy is one of the most important components that must be present in the developmental process. Empathy can also help children become sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. In this regard, the researcher designed a game that can assist in the development of empathy in children through role-playing as doctors. The objective of this research is to determine the effect of the role-playing activity as doctors on the development of empathy in group B children at TK Kartika IV-73 Jember. This researcher use a quasi-experimental design with a non equivalent control group design. The results obtained from the independent samples t-test show a t-value of 3,924, with a t-table of 1,697 at a significance level of 5%, given the degrees of freedom (Df) of 30. The significance criterion indicates that t values > t-table, thus we can write 3,924>1,697. Additionally, the significance column (2-tailed) shows a value of 0,01, where the result is 0,05, or written as (0,01<0,05), indicating a significant effect between the two groups. From the hypothesis test, it is stated that there is an effect of the role-playing activity as doctors on the development of empathy in group B children at TK Kartika IV-73 Jember.
