Abstract

Self-confidence is a positive attitude that individuals need to possess to meet various needs in their environment or situations, allowing them to believe in their own abilities for their happiness. This study aims to examine the effect of giving rewards on increasing the selfconfidence of children aged 5-6 years at PAUD Lenterahati Islamic Boarding School Lombok Barat in the 2023/2024 academic year. The research used a quantitative quasi-experimental design, specifically a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample was selected using non-probability sampling, involving 24 children aged 5-6 years at PAUD Lenterahati Islamic Boarding School Lombok Barat, consisting of 14 boys and 10 girls. Data analysis was conducted using the Independent Sample T-test. The results showed that the t-value was greater than the t-table value (19.707 > 1.717), indicating that the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that giving rewards significantly influences the increase in children's self-confidence, as the experimental group's post-treatment confidence scores were higher than their pre-treatment scores. Educators are encouraged to provide rewards to help children with low self-confidence feel more comfortable both at school and outside of school.
