Abstract

This study aims to enhance spatial-visual intelligence using puzzle games to group A students of Aisyiyah Kindergarten Pabelan Kartasura Sukoharjo in 2016/2017. This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) in two stages: cycle I and cycle II. The subjects of this study are 13 students. The data collection uses naturalistic observation and documentation. The student's data analysis is comparative and one-way ANOVA analysis. The teacher data analysis is interactive. The percentage of the pre-cycle reaches 48%. After cyclical action I, the result gets 65.2% and reaches 87.7% in cyclical action II. The product of one-way ANOVA is F-count 36,051 and F-table 5.18 using the confidence level of 99%. Thus, F-count > F-table, which means Ha is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the puzzle game can enhance the spatial visual intelligence of group A students of Aisyiyah Kindergarten Pabelan Kartasura Sukoharjo in the academic year of 2016/2017.
