Abstract

Fine motor skills development represents a critical foundation for academic readiness in early childhood, yet children with learning difficulties often experience significant challenges in this domain. This study investigated the effectiveness of project-based learning through beading activities in enhancing fine motor skills among kindergarten children with learning difficulties. A classroom action research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart model was employed, involving three children aged 4-5 years from TK Negeri 1 Kecamatan Kaliorang who demonstrated fine motor developmental challenges. The intervention was implemented across two cycles, each consisting of three sessions featuring structured beading activities using various materials including straws, beads, and string. Data collection utilized systematic observation with a seven-indicator assessment tool measuring tool handling, object manipulation, threading skills, pattern arrangement, and hand-eye coordination. Pre-test results revealed that no children achieved mastery levels, with an average completion rate of 52.4%. Following Cycle I implementation, completion rates increased to 71.4% with one child (33.3%) achieving mastery. After strategic modifications in Cycle II, including simplified instructions and enhanced materials, dramatic improvements were observed with completion rates reaching 93.3% and all three children (100%) achieving mastery levels. Qualitative observations indicated enhanced motivation, enthusiasm, and self-confidence throughout the intervention. The findings demonstrate that project-based learning through beading activities significantly improves fine motor skills in children with learning difficulties. The systematic, scaffolded approach provides valuable insights for early childhood educators seeking evidence-based interventions for inclusive learning environments.

Abstract

Number recognition serves as a fundamental cornerstone for mathematical learning in early childhood, yet slow learner children face significant challenges in developing these essential skills. These children, representing approximately one-fifth of typical classrooms, demonstrate difficulties in information processing, weak short-term memory, and struggle with abstract concept formation, requiring specialized pedagogical approaches that connect mathematical concepts with concrete, meaningful experiences. This study investigated the effectiveness of contextual learning approaches in enhancing number recognition abilities among slow learner children in kindergarten settings. A Classroom Action Research design following Kemmis and McTaggart's cyclical model was employed over two cycles with six intervention sessions. Two slow learner participants aged 5-6 years from TK Negeri 1 Kec. Batu Ampar were selected based on their demonstrated difficulties in number recognition despite verbal counting abilities. Data collection utilized performance test checklists with 13 indicators across six competency areas, scored using a three-point scale. Contextual learning interventions incorporated familiar objects and daily life contexts, progressing from basic number cards to practical applications using shoes, clothing, and traditional games. Both participants achieved substantial improvements from baseline scores of 38-41% to final achievement rates of 76-80%, surpassing the 70% success criterion. The intervention successfully facilitated progression from "Belum Muncul" (Not Yet Emerged) to "Muncul" (Emerged) categories, demonstrating mastery of targeted number recognition skills. Contextual learning approaches effectively enhance number recognition abilities among slow learner children by transforming abstract numerical concepts into concrete, meaningful experiences, providing evidence-based guidance for inclusive early childhood mathematics education.

Abstract

Speech delays affect 5-10% of preschool children, requiring effective intervention strategies that can be implemented within regular educational settings. Loose parts materials, consisting of open-ended objects without predetermined functions, offer potential for addressing communication challenges through multimodal learning experiences. This study investigated the effectiveness of loose parts media in enhancing speech development among early childhood children experiencing delays. A classroom action research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart model was implemented across two intervention cycles at TK Negeri 2 Muara Ancalong, Indonesia. Four children aged 5-6 years with identified speech delays participated in structured activities using various loose parts materials including natural objects (seeds, stones) and manufactured items (bottle caps, wooden pieces). Speech development was assessed using six indicators: object naming ability, simple question answering, desire expression, basic storytelling, vocabulary expansion, and articulation clarity. Data were collected through systematic observation and analyzed using descriptive statistics. All participants demonstrated measurable improvement in speech development indicators. Three children advanced one developmental category from baseline to post-intervention assessment, while one participant achieved exceptional progress of two categories. Pre-intervention mean scores of 1.6 increased to 2.8 following the intervention. Qualitative observations revealed enhanced communication confidence, increased vocabulary usage, and improved social interaction patterns during loose parts activities. Loose parts media represents an effective, accessible intervention strategy for addressing speech delays in early childhood settings. The approach's integration of tactile manipulation, visual discrimination, and verbal expression within meaningful play contexts facilitates natural language development while promoting collaborative competencies. The intervention's cost-effectiveness and classroom compatibility support its implementation as a viable alternative to traditional speech therapy approaches, though individual variation in response patterns indicates the need for differentiated intervention strategies.

Abstract

Fine motor skills development during early childhood is crucial for academic readiness and daily functioning. This study investigated the effects of nature-based sensory play interventions on fine motor skills development in preschool children with identified motor difficulties. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was employed with three participants aged 4-5 years from TK Negeri 2 Muara Ancalong who demonstrated fine motor skill challenges. The intervention consisted of three structured sensory play sessions using natural materials including sand, clay, stones, and organic matter. Fine motor skills were assessed using seven indicators including object manipulation, tool usage, pincer grasp, grip strength, and sustained attention. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics and N-Gain calculations. All participants demonstrated substantial improvements from pretest to posttest. Mean scores increased from 16.67 to 25.67 (maximum 28), representing a gain of 9.0 points. N-Gain analysis yielded 0.83, indicating high-level improvement effectiveness. Individual participants showed consistent progress across all measured indicators, with enhanced object transfer stability, improved tool control, more precise pincer movements, and increased task persistence. Progressive improvement was observed across treatment sessions, with reduced need for external motivation and enhanced concentration capabilities. Nature-based sensory play interventions effectively enhanced fine motor skills development in children with identified difficulties. The multidimensional improvements support theoretical frameworks linking motor skill development to cognitive abilities and academic readiness. Results align with research demonstrating connections between fine motor skills and executive functions, mathematical reasoning, and written expression abilities.
