The data was analyzed using a non-parametric test called the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the pre-test score was 12.7, which increased to 17.1 after the children were given lessons in the art of folding paper, or origami. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test analysis produced a Z value of 3.630 with an Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) significance of 0.000. Since this significance is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. This means there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results. Therefore, it can be concluded that the activity of folding paper has a significant effect on improving fine motor skills in children aged 5 to 6 years.in early childhood in Insan Cemerlang Kindergarten in Makassar City.]]>
