Abstract

Leadership is part of children's social development that requires early stimulation to become an independent child and have principles when they are adults. It is still found that the learning process of educators often directs children, produces the same work, and lacks in expressing ideas/concepts according to their opinions so that children tend to follow what has been designed in learning but minimal in the results of their own decisions. The purpose of the study was to determine how the learning process with the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) learning model stimulates children's leadership abilities and to determine the increase in children's leadership abilities through the use of the STAD learning model. The researcher used Classroom Action Research. The subjects in this study were 15 children. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that the learning process of children using the STAD learning model opens up opportunities for children to make their own decisions. Children are stimulated to actively express ideas/concepts according to their opinions and work together with their friends. The learning process in cycle I reached 50%, cycle II 70%, and cycle III 90%. Children's leadership abilities in cycle I reached 30%, cycle II 60%, and cycle III 90%. This can be seen from the significant increase in two indicators, namely being able to make decisions on their own and being able to work together with friends.
