Mood Box: As a Form of Recognizing the Mental Emotions of Kedung Padaringan 2 Elementary School Students as the First Step Towards a Healthy and Comfortable School

Abstract

Basic education is an important aspect in a country's development. The comfort of children's learning in
elementary schools (SD) has a crucial role in determining the quality of their education. Children's
emotions can affect their learning comfort, and managing children's moods from an early age is very
necessary. One effort to increase children's learning comfort at Kedung Elementary School, Kepanjen,
Malang Regency is through the implementation of the Mood Box Work Program (Proker). This program
aims to create positive learning conditions, stimulate learning motivation, and reduce the impact of stress
due to changes in learning patterns. In this journal, we will describe the Mood Box Program and the
results of its evaluation of children's learning comfort at Kedung Elementary School. We will explore
the methods, approaches and changes produced by this program in an effort to improve the quality of
learning at this school. A deeper understanding of the impact of this program can provide a better view
of the importance of a positive and comfortable learning environment for children in these challenging
times. Through analysis and reflection on the Mood Box Program, we hope to make a positive
contribution in efforts to improve the quality of basic education at Kedung Elementary School, as well
as provide insight for policy makers, educators and researchers in understanding the importance of
creating a learning environment that is conducive to the development of children in future.
