Abstract

Storytelling is a form of learning activity used to stimulate young children’s resilience in earthquake disasters. This research aims to develop aspects of children’s resilience in facing earthquake disasters. This study begins with an assessment of the need for children’s resilience to face disasters, even though the Indonesian region has a high potential for experiencing earthquake disasters because it is located at the junction of three active plates. Early childhood children need to be provided with learning about earthquake disaster mitigation through storytelling activities so that children become resilient in facing earthquake disasters. The research method uses a quantitative experimental approach with a pretest-posttest design involving kindergarten children in the Yogyakarta area. The sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique. The sample criteria are (1) kindergarten children who attend school in the red zone are vulnerable to tectonic and volcanic earthquakes; (2) Kindergarten children are accompanied by a class teacher who is a certified educator; and (3) kindergarten children whose school accreditation is superior. The samples obtained were 205 kindergarten children in the Pakem District. The quantitative data obtained was in the form of resilience development achievement values which were analyzed using the T-Test. The research results showed a significant increase in the average score of the posttest resilience aspect (21.12) compared to the pretest (17.23), with a t-value of -91.714 and a significance of 0.000. These findings confirm that the effectiveness of storytelling activities can develop children’s resilience in facing earthquake disasters. This study has significant implications for early childhood education practice and suggestions for integrating the development of children’s resilience in facing earthquake disasters into the curriculum. This highlights the need for repeated practice so that children are resilient in earthquake disasters.
