The data collection technique through nonparticipant observation and documentation. The empathy behavior score of the child at pretest was recorded equal to Lcalculation 0.9778> Ltable 0.234 and score at posttest time equal to Lcalculation 0.9015> Ltable 0.234. So Ha is rejected and the data is not normally distributed. The result of calculation by using Wilcoxon marked level test was obtained value Lcalculation is 0 smaller than Ltable that is 17. So, the result of decision making of H0 (null hypothesis) was rejected and Ha (Alternatife hypothesis) was accepted because Lcalculation < Ltable (0 <17).
