Abstract

This study aimed to determine the improvement of vocabulary ability in children aged 4–5 years through the singing method at TK Al-Hasby, Muncang District, Lebak Regency. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which consisted of two cycles, with each cycle comprising four meetings. The study applied both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and field notes. The research instruments included observation sheets for children's vocabulary ability and teacher activity observation sheets. The results showed that the implementation of the singing method improved the children's vocabulary ability in each learning cycle. In the pre-action stage, the percentage of children's vocabulary ability was 39.17%, which increased to 56.66% in Cycle I, and further increased to 83.75% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that the singing method effectively helps children recognize, understand, remember, and pronounce new vocabulary through enjoyable, active, and developmentally appropriate learning activities. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of the singing method effectively improves the vocabulary ability of children aged 4–5 years at TK Al-Hasby, Muncang District, Lebak Regency.
