EKSPLORASI MASA TRANSISI PAUD KE SD PADA ASPEK KONDISI PSIKOLOGIS SERTA PERILAKU PESERTA DIDIK DI MI PSM NGALE DAN SD MUHAMMADIYAH 1 NGAWI

An Exploration of the Transition Period from Preschool to Elementary School in Terms of Psychological Conditions and Student Behavior at MI PSM Ngale and SD Muhammadiyah 1 Ngawi

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pelaksanaan masa transisi dari PAUD ke SD serta menganalisis kondisi psikologis dan perilaku peserta didik kelas 1 dalam proses adaptasi awal mereka. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi multisitus, data diperoleh melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi di dua sekolah dasar. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan program transisi di kedua sekolah sudah berupaya ramah anak, namun masih terdapat perbedaan dalam strategi pendampingan psikologis dan pembentukan perilaku. Peserta didik yang mendapatkan dukungan emosional konsisten dari guru serta pembiasaan perilaku sejak awal menunjukkan adaptasi yang lebih positif, percaya diri, dan stabil secara emosional. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa keberhasilan transisi sangat dipengaruhi oleh sinergi antara sekolah, guru, dan orang tua dalam membangun kesiapan psikologis dan perilaku anak.

This study aims to describe the implementation of the transition period from Early Childhood Education (PAUD) to Elementary School (SD) and to analyze the psychological condition and behavior of first-grade students during their initial adaptation process. A qualitative approach with a multisite study design was employed, collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation at two elementary schools. The results indicate that the transition programs in both schools have been child friendly, although differences exist in psychological support strategies and behavior development. Students who received consistent emotional support from teachers and early behavior habituation demonstrated more positive adaptation, greater self confidence, and emotional stability. The findings emphasize that successful transitions are strongly influenced by the synergy among schools, teachers, and parents in fostering students’ psychological readiness and behavioral development.
