IMPLEMENTATION OF CHROMOTHERAPY PROGRAM USING ORGANIC SCHOOL GARDENS IN IMPROVING EARLY CHILDREN'S LEARNING CONCENTRATION ABILITY

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Chromotherapy program in improving early childhood children's concentration ability applied in an organic school garden environment. The method used is qualitative with purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the Chromotherapy program is effective in improving children's concentration, creativity, and learning ability. Children who participated in the program showed increased focus on tasks, interest in exploration, and problem-solving abilities. The implications of these findings suggest that the Chromotherapy program can be an innovative approach in early childhood education that can also introduce environment-based schools. Support from teachers, parents, and educational institutions is essential for the success of the program. This study suggests the need for teacher training and ongoing support to ensure effective implementation. Further research is needed to develop a nature-based school environment for implementing learning activities and measuring the long-term impact of this program on child development
