Abstract

Gross motor development is an important aspect in early childhood growth because it plays a role in training balance, coordination, agility, and muscle strength that supports daily activities, so that targeted stimulation through fun play activities is needed. One relevant game is hopscotch, which requires children to jump, maintain balance, and coordinate body movements so that it can stimulate gross motor skills optimally. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) design model of Kemmis and McTaggart with the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection, and combines qualitative analysis through reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions, and quantitative analysis by calculating the percentage of children's development in the categories of Not Yet Developing (BB), Starting to Develop (MB), Developing According to Expectations (BSH), and Developing Very Well (BSB). The results of the study showed a significant increase in children's gross motor skills from pre-cycle to cycle II in the aspects of balance, coordination, agility, and muscle strength, so it can be concluded that hopscotch games are effective as an active, fun, and contextual learning strategy in supporting the optimal development of early childhood gross motor skills.

Abstract

Early childhood is known as a golden period of child development that requires appropriate stimulation so that all aspects of development, especially fine motor skills, can develop optimally. In reality, the development of fine motor skills in children is not optimal due to teachers' limitations in the use of media and innovative learning methods. The purpose of this study was to develop children's fine motor skills through stringing activities that utilize natural materials, namely banana leaves. This study applied the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with two cycles, which included the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. As research subjects, 20 children from group A were selected, consisting of 8 boys and 12 girls. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed qualitatively through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed a significant increase in children's fine motor skills, especially in aspects of speed, flexibility, and finger strength. Stringing activities with banana leaves were proven to be able to provide a fun and meaningful learning experience, as well as train children's focus and perseverance. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of natural materials in creative activities is effective as a learning strategy in early childhood education. The contribution of this research lies in strengthening empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of nature-based media as an innovative alternative that is environmentally friendly while also supporting the development of fine motor skills in early childhood.
