Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of fine motor development in early childhood, especially 5-6 years old, because this ability plays an important role in supporting children's learning activities. However, the fine motor skills of children at Rohman Nur Islamic Kindergarten, Natar District, have not yet developed optimally, as seen from several children who have difficulty in buttoning clothes, cutting, folding paper, and holding colored pencils properly. Therefore, it is necessary to use interesting learning media that are appropriate to the characteristics of children, one of which is sawdust which has a light texture, is easy to shape, and is easily found in the surrounding environment. This study aims to determine the efforts of teachers in developing fine motor skills in children aged 5-6 years through sawdust media. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive type, with 21 subjects consisting of 6 children who have not developed, 9 children who are starting to develop, and 6 children who are developing as expected. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through the stages of data collection, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that teachers' efforts through careful planning, the use of appropriate learning methods and media, guidance, and ongoing evaluation can significantly improve children's fine motor development, reaching the expected development category. Therefore, the use of sawdust can be an effective alternative learning medium to support the fine motor development of early childhood.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of internalizing the value of patriotism (love for the homeland) in early childhood through batik-making activities at TK Kartini Biru Karang Anyar, Jati Agung District, South Lampung Regency, Academic Year 2024/2025. The background of this study is based on the importance of instilling national values from an early age through culture-based learning approaches. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of teachers and children aged 5–6 years. The results show that the internalization process of patriotism values is carried out through stages of understanding, direct experience, habituation, and value reinforcement in batik-making activities. Teachers utilize batik as a learning medium to introduce traditional Indonesian batik motifs, explain their symbolic meanings, and instill awareness of preserving national cultural heritage. The learning process is systematically designed through planning, implementation, and evaluation stages while considering children's developmental characteristics. Children are actively involved in the process, from creating simple patterns, coloring motifs, to understanding the meaning behind batik designs. This activity not only improves fine motor skills but also fosters a sense of pride in national culture. The evaluation results indicate improvements in cultural knowledge, appreciation of national culture, and children's interest in cultural activities. Therefore, batik-making activities are proven to be an effective strategy for internalizing patriotism values in early childhood education.
