chool is a medium to solve the waste problem through clean lifestyle
psychoeducation. Wayang kancil folktale uses animal characters as an alternative method to
teach early age children to reduce littering behavior. This approach is applied because the
animal world is close to the children's world. In addition, an interaction between children and
the storyteller through folktale occurs during wayang kancil show. This study is action
research which involves 14 second-year nursery student from a pre-school institution in
Yogyakarta. The A-B-A experiment design puts the hypotheses of wayang kancil folktale to
stimulate littering behavior at an early age to the test. Baseline, intervention, and reversal
measurement was conducted consecutively for nine days which was recorded in observation
sheets. Comprehension test was carried out before and after the intervention. The
observation result was analyzed using visual analysis. Meanwhile, a comprehension score is
rated by implemented paired sample t-test. The coefficient of reliability test of inter-rater
was 0.971. Pre and post-intervention comprehension score increased rapidly (p = 0.000; <
0.01). The result proves that wayang kancil folktale was able to reduce children’s littering
behavior.
