Pemanasan Global menjadi perhatian masyarakat dunia saat ini. Pemanasan Global kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh meningkatnya konsentrasi gasgas rumah kaca akibat aktivitas manusia. Indonesia masuk dalam peringkat ke empat top dunia sebagai penghasil emisi gas rumah kaca untuk tahun 2005 (MNP, 2007) sebanyak 6% dari presentasi seluruh dunia. Masyarakat Indonesia masih banyak yang tidak peduli dengan lingkungan seperti membuang sampah sembarangan, meningkatnya pemakai kendaraan motor tiap tahun, pembakaran hutan untuk dijadikan lahan, dll, sehingga Indonesia sudah bisa merasakan akibat pemansan global ini seperti perubahan cuaca yang ekstrim, banjir, krisis air bersih, penyakit dimana-mana. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, perlu ditanamkan sikap peduli lingkungan sejak dini. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah metode bermain peran dapat meningkatkan sikap peduli lingkungan pada anak usia dini. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 29 anak yang bersekolah di TK. Subjek dibagi menjadi kelompok kontrol (15 anak) dan kelompok eksperimen (14 anak). Hipotesis yang diajukan adalah ada perbedaan perubahan peningkatan sikap peduli lingkungan anak usia dini (TK) yang mendapatkan perlakuan bermain peran “ Aku Sayang Bumiku” (kelompok eksperimen) dengan yang tidak mendapatkan perlakuan (kelompok kontrol). Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah non - randomized pretest - posttest control only group design. Hasil uji statistic Paired Sample t-test menunjukkan perbedaan yang sangat signifikan pada kelompok eksperimen antara sebelum dan sesudah pemberian metode bermain peran “ Aku Sayang Bumiku” (t= 11,168, p= 0,000). Hasil uji statistik Independent sample ttest dengan gain skor (t = 9,350, p= 0,000) menunjukkan adanya perbedaan sikap peduli lingkungan yang sangat signifikan antara kelompok eksperimen dengan kelompok kontrol (t = 9,350, p= 0,000).

Now global warming becomes the attention of all over the world. Global warming is probably caused by the increasing of the concentration of the greenhouse effects which is due to human activities. Indonesia became the fourth of the world that produced greenhouse gas emission in 2005 (MNP, 2007), as much as 6% of the presentation of the world. There are a lot of Indonesia people who do not care about their environment, such as throwing away the rubbish badly, increasing the motorcycle riders every year, burning the forest to be made for land crop, and etc. Therefore, Indonesia has to be aware of global warming such as the changing of the extreme weather, flood, clean water crisis, disease. Related to those problems, it needs to be appreciated the attitude of care for the environment since early. The objective of this research is to know whether the method of role playing is able to increase the attitude of care for the environment at the early stage of children. This research involved 29 preschool students. They were divided into 2 groups, control group (15 students) and experiment group (14 students). The hypothesis was that there was the different attitude between two groups. The students (experiment group) who play the role play “I love my earth” increased their attitude of care for the environment better than the other students (control group) who did not play it. The method which was used in this research was non – randomized pretest – posttest control only group design. From the statistical analysis using Paired Sample t – test shows that there is significantly difference for the experiment group before and after the conduct of role playing method “ I Love my Earth” (t=11,168, p=0,000). Statistical analysis using Independent sample t-test with score gain (t = 9,350, p= 0,000) shows that there is significantly different attitude of care for the environment between the experiment group and the control group ( t = 9,350, p = 0,000).
