Abstract

This study aims to improve children’s fine motor skills through the implementation of acid-base batik activities, to describe the implementation process, and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in the activity. This research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using a cyclical model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of this study were 13 children in group B aged 4–6 years at TK Pertiwi Papahan 01 in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and field notes. The data were analyzed descriptively using a qualitative approach by comparing the results obtained in each cycle. The results showed that the implementation of acid-base batik activities significantly improved children’s fine motor development. Improvements were observed in children’s ability to coordinate hand and eye movements, control finger movements, and enhance accuracy and neatness in completing tasks. In addition, this activity also positively influenced children’s concentration, activeness, and self-confidence during the learning process. Learning activities involving direct exploration and the use of engaging media were proven to create a more enjoyable, active, and meaningful learning environment. Therefore, acid-base batik activities can be used as an effective, innovative, and developmentally appropriate learning strategy to improve fine motor skills in early childhood.

Abstract

Singing as a teaching method in early childhood education plays a crucial role in stimulating children’s cognitive development through enjoyable, concrete, and repetitive learning activities. This study aims to describe the role of singing as a teaching method in developing the cognitive abilities of young children at Aisyiyah Al Amin Kindergarten in Surakarta. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consisted of one classroom teacher and 12 children aged 4–5 years in Group A, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. Data analysis utilized the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the singing method plays a role in developing three cognitive aspects based on the STPPA indicators, namely symbolic thinking, logical thinking, and learning and problem-solving. After ten learning sessions, no child was categorized as “Not Yet Developed.” Songs containing numbers, letters, colors, shapes, and simple cause-and-effect concepts help children remember, group, sequence, and understand learning material more effectively. Thus, the singing method can be used as an effective pedagogical strategy to support the cognitive development of young children.
