Local Wisdom PAUD to Grow Student’s Soft Skills (Study Cash: Development RKH On Science Learning)
Abstract: There are various
local potentials such as garden, playground, pool, and field. They can be used
as laborotories and sources of contextual learning. This research aims to
implement RKH (Rencana Kegiatan Harian/ Plan Daily Activities) based on local
potentials developed to improve the result of teaching and learning process and
students’ soft skill as well. This reseach and development is adapted from Borg
and Gall (2003) combined with Sugiyono (2010). Product validation stage results
RKH which deserves to be implemented. Date gathering uses tes, questionnaire,
soft skill performance, observing the communicatoin skill, teaching and
learning process, and interview. This research makes some results. RKH based on
local potentials gives information about pontentials in local area. In
addition, it can be developed to be creative idea in order to improve the
students’ capability in asking questions. Approximately 81% of the students
give good respons. They are interested in RKH water and air, flood, and volcano
eruption, so they understand the science easily and they are motivated to know
more about science. The students’ soft skill is getting improvement. The result
of learning is 0.36 better. Meanwhile, coefficient t test hypothesis related
varians with thit> ttabel (t1=2,07>1,99; t2=4,17>1,99; t3=2,34>1,99;
t4=5,34>1,99;) shows that RKH science based on local potentials for PAUD is
well-developed effectivelly to improve the result of learning and soft skill.
