THE DEVELOPMENT OF PLAY THERAPY MODEL "REMANG" FOR CHILDREN SURVIVAL OF SINABUNG MOUNTAIN ERUPTION

This study aims to develop a play therapy model in the form of instructional games with title “remang” for children in Karo
Regency due to the eruption of Mount Sinabung. The approach in this study used a qualitative approach during preliminary study, design and model formulation. Quantitative approaches used when testing and validating the model. The model is developed using modifications of 4D model: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The implementation of this research is divided into three main stages which carried out for 2 years: (1) preliminary studies, empirical studies and policy studies; (2) model development; and (3) evaluation model through of pre-test and post-test. Based on the data analysis, the average value in the experimental class was 4.19 and
there was a control class of 2.745. So, it can be concluded that the students’ motivation of the experimental class children is better than the control class. The results of hypothesis testing obtained t_ (count)> t_ (table) which is 20.64> 1.462 at the real level α = 0.05. Thus, the model “remang” dimly influences significantly on the motivation of children in Simacem Bekerah Elementary School No 047175after the Sinabung eruption.
