Abstract

General Background: Early childhood education emphasizes the development of fine motor skills as a foundation for later learning readiness. Specific Background: However, limited variation in learning media often restricts children’s opportunities to practice fine motor coordination, creativity, and environmental awareness. Knowledge Gap: Few studies have systematically examined the role of recycled or used materials as a sustainable medium for improving fine motor development in early childhood education. Aim: This study investigates the use of used materials to strengthen cutting and pasting skills of children aged 4–5 years in PAUD An-Nur Tanjung Jabung Timur. Results: Using classroom action research in two cycles with 10 participants, findings show significant improvement: in cutting, 70% reached the “Very Well Developed” category, while in pasting, 80% achieved this category by the second cycle. Novelty: The research highlights how simple, accessible, and environmentally friendly materials can serve as effective media for structured fine motor practice. Implications: The findings suggest the integration of used materials in PAUD learning not only enhances motor skills but also fosters creativity and ecological responsibility. Highlights: Fine motor skills of young children improved significantly through used materials. Recycled media fostered creativity and environmental awareness. The study offers sustainable strategies for PAUD motor development. Keywords: Fine Motor Skills, Recycled Materials, PAUD, Early Childhood, Creativity

Abstract

The aim of this research is to test the effectiveness of integrated science teaching materials for junior high schools, especially the theme of household health and environmental sanitation. The research design uses a quasi-experiment with Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The research was carried out at SMPN 6 Banda Aceh class VII. The sample was determined by purposive sampling. The treatment in the experimental group was learning that used integrated science teaching materials, while the control group used electronic school books. The instruments used are test items, learning observation sheets, and learning tools. Data analysis was carried out using Anava to test mean differences and Scheffe test to test the effectiveness of integrated science teaching materials. The results of the research show that there are differences in high-level thinking abilities between junior high school students who use integrated science teaching materials and students who use separate/individual science teaching models in the field of biological studies. Students can remember 13%, understand 15%, application 18%, analysis 30% and evaluation 25% for thinking achievement. Teaching using integrated science teaching materials is very effective in improving the high-level thinking abilities of students at SMP Negeri 6 Banda Aceh.
