Abstract

This research, conducted at TK Al-Irsyad Al-Islamia in Gorontalo, Indonesia, investigated the effectiveness of using clothespins as a manipulative media to enhance fine motor skills in young children aged 4-5 years old. Initial observations revealed that some children exhibited underdeveloped fine motor skills, struggling with activities like coloring, pasting, and drawing. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing survey methods and document analysis. Findings indicated that the use of clothespins as a manipulative tool proved effective in improving fine motor skills. Children successfully matched the number of clothespins with numbers on a cardboard and stood them upright, demonstrating improved fine motor control. The research recommends the regular use of clothespins as a manipulative aid in learning activities to enhance fine motor skills in young children. Further research is needed to explore the effectiveness of using clothespins with varying age groups and levels of difficulty. It is hoped that this research will inspire educators to utilize creative and engaging manipulative media in their teaching practices, thereby fostering children's interest and motivation in learning.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of assessing early childhood art development through a community service program conducted at TK Negeri Pembina Telaga Jaya. The assessment was designed to capture children’s artistic development in a holistic manner, encompassing cognitive, fine motor, social-emotional, affective, and creative aspects. Using direct observation and structured assessment indicators, teachers were guided to evaluate not only the final artwork but also the artistic process, children’s engagement, emotional regulation, and creative expression. The findings indicate that art-based assessment provides rich and authentic data on children’s developmental progress, particularly in creativity, fine motor coordination, and emotional expression. The results also highlight the importance of teachers’ competence in conducting systematic and reflective assessments to support meaningful learning experiences. Moreover, art assessment was found to strengthen children’s motivation, confidence, and participation during learning activities. This study concludes that structured art assessment serves as an effective pedagogical tool that enhances the quality of early childhood education and supports holistic child development, while offering a practical assessment model that can be adapted by other early childhood education institutions.
