The Influence of The Traditional Game “Congklak Lidi” on the Development of Moral Emotions in Pre-School Age Children

Moral emotions are developments related to how individuals judge right and wrong behavior, then this behavior will motivate our brains to think and how individuals show the behavior that will be issued. However, as the years go by and the era of globalization develops, individuals increasingly lose their sense of empathy, tolerance and moral behavior. One of the media that can help the development of moral emotions is the traditional game congklak lidi. Congklak Lidi is a game that has the highest level of problem-solving. This research aims to see how much influence the traditional game congklak lidi has on the development of moral emotions. This research uses a quasi-experiment type of research with a between-subjects research design with a pre-test and post-test control group design model. The subjects in this study were 20 students with subject characteristics, namely 4-6 years old, male and female and did not have mental or physical disorders. The data analysis method used the Wilcoxon non-parametric analysis test and compared the pre-test and post-test values for the two groups using the Mann-Whitney analysis test. Based on the results of the Wilcoxon test, the results showed that there was a significant effect on the experimental group and the control group showed that there was no significant effect. This research implies that it is hoped that traditional games can be preserved by educators and parents so that traditional games are not forgotten and will continue to be typical of Indonesian culture.
