Decrease in Disruption Behavior in Early Childhood: The Effect of Token Economy Use

One of the problems that often disrupts the learning situation is the emergence of disruptive behavior. Disruptive behavior in students is inappropriate behavior that students do during the learning process, making the class less conducive. The purpose of this study is an effort to change disruptive behavior by using token economy media. This research is a quantitative study with an experimental method. The research design used in this study is One Group Pretest Posttest Design with a research sample of all children in group A, totaling 11 children with 10 meetings. The results obtained are that there is a difference in the representation of the average presentation of the pretest (59.8) and posttest (89.3) in children after treatment using token economy. The large influence with a Sig. value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05 indicates a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. The regression results obtained Y = 61.702 + 0.463X so it can be said that the direction of the variable's influence is positive, with the use of token economy increasing, disruptive behavior decreases. This research is expected to help teachers in handling disruptive behavior in students during classroom learning.
