[ABSTRAK
Salah satu karakteristik anak usia prasekolah ialah adanya perkembangan yang sangat pesat pada kemampuan regulasi diri. Studi-studi terbaru menunjukkan kemampuan ini penting dimiliki anak usia prasekolah sebagai pembelajaran dasar yang dapat memudahkan anak saat transisi menuju ke pendidikan yang lebih formal. Kemampuan ini dapat berkembang atau tidak secara optimal bergantung pada pemberian stimulus yang diberikan oleh lingkungan sekitar khususnya melalui pendidikan anak usia dini karena anak di masa ini mulai bersekolah dengan harapan meraka mulai dapat menyenangi kegiatan belajar. Pengembangan kemampuan regulasi diri di sekolah usia dini sangat melibatkan peran guru melalui kegiatan-kegiatan harian yang dirancangnya. Bagaimana praktik yang guru terapkan dalam keseharian ini sangat dipengaruhi oleh teachers? beliefs yang dimiliki guru terhadap kemampuan regulasi diri anak. Hal ini dikarenakan untuk memahami cara seseorang mengajar dan berinteraksi, kita harus menyadari terlebih dahulu beliefs yang mendasari perilakunya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mendapatkan gambaran kemampuan regulasi diri dan teachers? beliefs terhadap regulasi diri anak pada usia prasekolah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif. Regulasi diri pada anak usia prasekolah diukur menggunakan challenge task, sedangkan teachers? beliefs terhadap regulasi diri anak diukur menggunakan alat ukur yang dibuat oleh peneliti dengan berdasarkan pengertian dari teachers? beliefs dan komponen regulasi diri.Responden penelitian ini berjumlah 39 orang anak prasekolah yang berasal dari sekolah yang berbeda-beda di Depok, Jawa Barat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, didapatkan bahwa teachers? beliefs yang dimiliki guru terhadap kemampuan regulasi diri anak usia prasekolah berperan dalam pembentukan kemampuan regulasi diri anak. Guru dengan teachers? beliefs terhadap kemampuan regulasi diri anak usia prasekolah yang tinggi akan membentuk anak didik yang memiliki kemampuan regulasi diri yang baik.ABSTRACT
