Abstract

This descriptive quantitative research aimed to investigate the readiness of grade 1 elementary school students to enter primary education in the Jabon sub-district. A sample of 102 students out of a total population of 110 was selected using non-probability accidental sampling. Data analysis, employing the SPSS 17.0 for Windows program, involved descriptive statistics to assess school readiness based on measures such as mode, mean, median, standard deviation, and variance range. The findings revealed that among grade 1 students at SD Jabon Sidoarjo District, 85.3% (87 students) exhibited high readiness, 8.8% (9 students) demonstrated sufficient readiness, and 5.9% (6 students) displayed less readiness to enter elementary school. These results shed light on the preparedness of children for formal education and have implications for educational stakeholders in fostering optimal learning environments and supporting students' smooth transition to elementary school.
