ABSTRACT
Children are one of the vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters, due to their inability to act independently in the event of a disaster. So it takes effort to improve the preparedness of children to face natural disasters. The aim of the study was to analyse the impact of education with simulation methods and picture books on the knowledge and attitudes of elementary school students on the preparedness of earthquake disasters. The research method used a quasi-experiment with Non-Randomized Pre-Test Post-Test Control Group Design. Sample count of 70 samples. Sample withdrawal was done by Simple Random Sampling. Data analysis was done using Wilcoxon statistical tests and paired t test. The results showed that the p value for knowledge was 0.000 whereas for the attitudes showed a p value of 0.000. Both show that the p value < 0.005 which means that there was an effect on the simulation methods and picture book media on the knowledge and attitudes of elementary school students related to earthquake disaster preparedness. For further researchers, it was advisable to develop action variables to measure the educational influence of students ' actions in the preparedness of the earthquake.
