Perkembangan sosial anak sangat penting untuk dikembangkan dalam melakukan hubungan sosial di lingkungan sekitarnya, tetapi pada kenyataannya perkembangan sosial anak masih rendah dengan rata-rata 42,50%. Hal ini disebabkan minimnya penggunaan permainan konstruktif yang belum efektif, sehingga kualitas proses pembelajaran kurang optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh permainan konstruktif terhadap perkembangan sosial anak. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi eksperimen, dengan desain penelitian Non equivalent Control Group Design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh anak kelompok B pada gugus VI Kecamatan Buleleng yang berjumlah 387 anak. Pengambilan sampel dengan teknik random sampling dan yang terpilih sekolah TK Negeri Pembina sebagai kelompok eksperimen serta TK Aisyiyah sebagai kelompok kontrol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kelompok eksperimen memperoleh rata-rata sebesar 32.23 sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol memperoleh sebesar 24.75. Data perkembangan sosial anak kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol berdistribusikan normal dan homogen. Kemudian data dianalisis menggunakan uji-t, maka diperoleh hasil t_hitungdari kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol memperoleh hasil sebesar 12,26 dengan taraf signifikan 5% dan derajat kebebasan dk =57 adalah 2.002, sehingga t_hitung lebih besar dari t_tabel maka H_0 ditolak dan H_1 diterima yang berarti terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara kelompok yang mendapatkan perlakuan permainan konstruktif dengan kelompok yang tidak mendapatkan perlakuan.Kata Kunci : perkembangan sosial, permainan konstruktif. Social development of children is very important to be developed in social relationships in the surrounding environment. But in fact, the social development of children is still low with an average of as 42,50%. This is due to the lack of use of contructive games that have not been effective.so, the quality of learning process is less than optimal.
