Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the traditional weaving game in enhancing fine motor skills in early childhood at RA An-Nida’. Using classroom action research with a mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative), the study involved 10 children aged 5-6 years. Data were collected through observations, interviews, documentation, and fine motor skill tests before and after the intervention. The results show a significant improvement in the children's fine motor skills, with the average score increasing from 25.4 to 31.7 after participating in the weaving activity. In addition, the game also contributed to improvements in concentration, hand-eye coordination, and creativity. These findings highlight the importance of traditional games as an effective tool to support fine motor development in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of experiential learning strategies, namely science experiments, outdoor learning activities, and problem-solving skills, on the ecoliteracy of early childhood learners. Employing a quasi-experimental quantitative design with a 2x2 factorial arrangement. The number of students who became research participants was 50, consisting of 20 boys and 30 girls. The research was conducted among students enrolled in early childhood education institutions (RA) in Deli Serdang. The results demonstrate that instructional strategies significantly improve children's environmental knowledge, attitudes, and environmental behavior care. Moreover, children with higher levels of problem-solving ability exhibited greater ecoliteracy. These findings emphasize the critical role of integrating active learning methods and the development of higher-order thinking skills from an early age to foster environmentally responsible future generations.
