Developing Batik Learning Model in Early Childhood: Video Learning and Guide Book

Batik learning model is important to support learning and culture process. It helps teacher and children to know batik process from first to end using plastic canting and malam dingin liquid. This study aimed to find out what media is needed and how it gave significant progress in batik learning process. This type of research is the Research and Development (R & D). This developmental research adapted the model of Borg & Gall which was simplified to 7 development stages and it's divided into three main parts: (1) Preliminary study, (2) Product Development Stage, and (3) Product Testing Stage. The subjects for small scale test were 10 children, 30 children for field tests, and 42 children for effectiveness tests. Data were collected using interview, observation sheet, and validation sheet. Data analysis technique for the effectiveness test was Paired Sample Test with significance 0.05. The research of the research was a model of batik learning in the form of a video learning and a guide book that consisted of learning steps of the batik namely an introduction, main activities, and evaluation. The main activities were batik techniques namely nyungging, njaplak, nglowong, ngiseni, nyolet, ngelir, mopok, and nglorod. Experts and practitioners validation result could be concluded that the developed model was in the category "very good". The result was effective because of t-test was sig (p) <0.05 which meant that there was a significant change between the ability of the children before and after being treated.
