Teachers' Perceptions of The Use of Hand Puppets As a Learning Media in Overcoming Disruptive Behavior in Indonesian Language Learning an First Grade at ABC Elementary School
Abstract
Disruptive behavior of first-grade elementary school students in Indonesian language learning poses a serious challenge in classroom management, mainly due to monotonous teaching methods without engaging media. This study examines teachers' perceptions of the use of hand puppets as a learning medium to address disruptive behavior at ABC Elementary School. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved three first-grade teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation, analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model and thematic analysis. The results showed that hand puppets were effective in increasing students' focus, participation, and emotional engagement while reducing disruptive behavior. Teachers reported improvements in classroom dynamics and intended to continue using this medium. The study concluded that hand puppets are a practical and cost-effective solution for classroom management and interactive learning in early elementary education.
