Abstract

Social-emotional development is a fundamental aspect of early childhood that influences future academic success and mental well-being. This study aimed to improve the social-emotional skills of Group B children at PAUD Sejahtera Mandiri through guided role-playing. This Classroom Action Research (PTK) was conducted in two cycles using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, involving 15 children (8 boys and 7 girls) aged 5-6 years. Data were collected through observation, field notes, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative descriptive and quantitative percentage techniques. The results showed that before the intervention, only 20% of children achieved the expected developmental milestones. In Cycle I, guided role-playing with the theme "Visiting a Sick Friend" increased the completeness to 53.3%. After reflection and improvement in Cycle II with the theme "Working Together to Build a City", the completeness reached 86.7%. The study concludes that guided role-playing effectively enhances children's empathy, emotional regulation, and cooperation. Teachers are recommended to act as active facilitators who provide emotional scaffolding during play.
