<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the extent to which the use of hand puppet media influences the listening skills of children aged 5–6 years at TK Islam Az-Zahrah Palembang. The research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of the one-group pretest–posttest type. The study sample consisted of 15 children, including 11 boys and 4 girls. Data were collected through observation using a checklist sheet and tests in the form of question items. The analysis results showed that the normality test yielded a significance value of 0.088 (p < 0.05) for the pretest and 0.464 (p> 0.05) for the posttest, indicating that the data were normally distributed. Meanwhile, the results of the Paired Sample t-test revealed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. Therefore, H₀ was rejected, and Hₐ was accepted, meaning that the use of hand puppet media had a positive effect on the listening skills of children aged 5–6 years at TK Islam Az-Zahrah Palembang.]]>
