Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using recycled-material Educational Play Tools (APE) in improving early childhood fine motor skills. The background of this study is the low ability of children in activities such as cutting, pasting, and threading, as well as the suboptimal use of creative learning media. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a One Group Pretest-Posttest model involving 12 children aged 3–4 years. Data were collected through observation, performance assessment, and documentation, and then analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques. The results showed a significant improvement, indicated by an increase in percentage from 25% to 83.3%. Improvements were observed in cutting, pasting, threading, and hand-eye coordination skills. These findings indicate that recycled-material APE is effective, innovative, and environmentally friendly, and can serve as an alternative learning medium to optimally support children’s fine motor development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the ATIK Model (Observe, Imitate, Do) in improving gross motor skills of early childhood learners at Mutiara Hati Playgroup, Sukoharjo. This research employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design without a control group. The participants consisted of 12 children aged 3–4 years selected through total sampling. Data were collected using an observation sheet measuring gross motor skills, including balance, coordination, agility, and strength. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The results showed that the mean pretest score was 47.8, which increased to 74.9 in the posttest, with an improvement of 27.1 points. The t-test results indicated a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that the ATIK Model had a significant effect on improving children’s gross motor skills. These findings suggest that learning through observation, imitation, and direct practice effectively stimulates motor development in early childhood. Therefore, the ATIK Model is effective in enhancing gross motor development through active, enjoyable, and developmentally appropriate learning activities
