Abstract


This research is motivated from the observation that researchers did to students of class VII SMP PGRI 01 Wagir, which showed that 7 students still have a low level of emotional exploration. A low level of exploration of emotions can hinder the development of the students expressing their feelings and can lead to miscommunication when interacting with people around. Therefore, an increase in the level of students' exploration of emotion is indispensable for students of SMP PGRI 01 Wagir. The method used in this research was to design experimental method Quasi Experiment, using the pattern of pre-test and post-test group. The subjects used in this study are 7 students of class VII SMP PGRI 01 Wagir. Instrument used in this research is the exploration of the emotional scale that has been expert tested. Data were analyzed using test Wilcoxon the calculations using SPSS 16.0 for Windows. Based on the results of the study showed that there is difference between the pre-test and post-test.
