| Summary: | Disruptive behaviours negatively impact the involvement of children in classroom learning
activities and social interaction with their peers. This negative impact is even greater if a
child does not get receive prompt and appropriate treatment. Behavioral treatment has
been proven effective for cases of disruptive behaviour in children, therefor, this study
involved behavioral treatment to treating children's disruptive behaviour in first year class
(Kelompok A) of Kindergarten. This treatment called the �Kereta Anak Tertib ' programme,
is a strategy combining a correct approach to giving instructions to children as known as
�precision request� and �token economy�. The program is applied each day during the core
learning activities in the classroom. This single case experimental study applied repeated
measurements (ABAB) in first year class (Kelompok A) and follow-up was conducted in
the second year class (Kelompok B). Quantitative data were analyzed visually (visual
inspection) and with a Friedman test, also qualitative data were presented in narrative
form. The results showed that the 'Kereta Anak Tertib' programme can reduce children�s
disruptive behaviour.
