Abstract

Early childhood creativity is crucial to discuss because it can increase children's self-confidence and explore the various potentials that exist in children, especially during this golden age. It was found that early childhood creativity in one of the kindergarten educational institutions was still relatively lacking because the activities carried out to stimulate creativity were less varied. One way for children's creativity to increase and develop, it is necessary to have activities so that they can show their creativity. There are various activities to make children's creative power increase, one of which is with ecoprint batik activities. This study aims to analyze the effect of ecoprint batik activities on children's creativity. The method used is quantitative research with the Pre-Experimental type, and the research design uses “One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design”. The sample studied was group B as many as 10 children. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the ability of children's creativity in class B2 using ecoprint batik activities, the highest value is 31 and the lowest value is 20, with an average value of 26.1. Based on the value obtained sig (2-tailed) in the B1 class post-test t test 0.00 <0.05, so it is stated to be significant (there is a difference). Thus, researchers can conclude that the hypothesis (Ha) in this study is accepted, namely that there is an effect of batik activities on children's creativity abilities by implementing experimental ecoprint batik activities based on local wisdom.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of developing gross motor skills in early childhood as a foundation for physical health, learning readiness, and socio-emotional development, which in the current technological era faces the challenge of increasing screen use and decreasing physical activity. The study aims to describe the role of teachers in developing gross motor skills in early childhood in the era of technology and to identify the challenges and opportunities that arise in this process. A literature study method was employed by reviewing various scientific articles, national journals, and regulations related to early childhood development. The findings indicate that teachers have a strategic role as movement facilitators, designers of learning environments rich in physical stimulation, active behavior models for children, and ongoing observers of gross motor development. In the technological era, teachers are required to integrate technology wisely without reducing children’s need to move and engage in physical activities. However, the implementation of this role faces several challenges, including increased gadget use in children’s daily lives, limited parental support and understanding, insufficient facilities and infrastructure to support physical activities, and the lack of professional training for teachers. The study concludes that close collaboration among teachers, schools, and parents is key to ensuring that children’s gross motor stimulation develops optimally amid technological advancement, and emphasizes the need for policies and support programs oriented toward strengthening physical learning in PAUD institutions.
