The research was carried out in 2 cycles consisting of cycle 1 on 20 and 22 August 2021. then cycle 2 will be held on 27 and 29 August 2021. Each cycle consists of several stages, namely: planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The data collected is analyzed at each stage of the cycle with quantitative descriptive analysis.
