Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of natural material collage activities on the fine motor skills of children in group B at Pembina Melati Tondo State Kindergarten. The background of this study stems from the importance of early childhood education in optimizing all aspects of development, including fine motor skills. Collage activities using natural materials were chosen as a learning medium because they are believed to stimulate eye-hand coordination, finger strength, flexibility, and accuracy through activities such as sticking, arranging, and manipulating natural materials. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design of the one-group pretest-posttest type. There were 14 children in the study. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive analysis and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test non-parametric test. The results of the study showed an increase in fine motor skills after conducting natural material collage activities. The average score for children's abilities increased from 2.10 in the pretest to 3.14 in the posttest. The increase occurred in all aspects, namely strength, finger flexibility, and accuracy. The Wilcoxon test results showed a significance value of 0.005 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the children's abilities before and after the treatment. Thus, collage activities using natural materials have been proven to have a significant and effective influence on improving the fine motor skills of early childhood.

Abstract

Early childhood education plays an important role in developing all aspects of child development, one of which is gross motor skills. This study aims to determine the application and effect of the demonstration method on the gross motor skills of children in group B1 at Pembina Samporoa State Kindergarten. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive research type and a one-group pretest-posttest design. There were 15 children in the study. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using descriptive percentage analysis and inferential analysis through a t-test at a significance level of 5%. The results showed a significant increase in children's gross motor skills after the demonstration method was applied. In terms of physical endurance, the Very Good Development (VGD) category increased from 7% to 67%. In terms of balance, the VGD category increased from 0% to 20% and the Developing as Expected (DAE) category increased to 53%. In terms of physical strength, the VGD category increased from 0% to 20% and the DAE category increased from 33% to 67%. The t-test results showed that the t-count value of 10.142 was greater than the t-table value of 1.761, so H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. The conclusion of this study shows that the demonstration method has a significant and effective influence on improving children's gross motor skills, particularly in the aspects of endurance, balance, and body strength.
