THE EFFECT OF COUNTING BOX LEARNING MEDIA ON THE COUNTING ABILITY OF I GRADE AT MIN 1 CENTRAL LOMBOK IN THE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC YEAR

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of counting box learning media on the counting skills of grade I at MIN 1 Central Lombok in the 2024/2025 academic year. This study used a quantitative approach of quasi-experiment type with a research design of Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sampling technique used Probability Sampling type cluster random sampling. The samples in this study were two classes, namely class I B amounted to 36 students as the experimental class and class I E amounted to 34 students as the control class. Data collection techniques using tests, observation and documentation. Data analysis techniques used normality test (Kolmogorov Smirnov), and homogeneity test (F test) and hypothesis testing (Independent t-test) using the polled variance formula. The  results of this study indicate that the counting box learning media has a significant effect on students' counting skills. This is evidenced by data analysis using t-test obtained sig value. 0.002 <0.05, so Ho is rejected which means Ha in this study is accepted. Thus, there is an effect of counting box learning media on the counting ability of I grade students at MIN 1 Central Lombok in the 2024/2025 academic year.
