Abstract

This study examined changes in fine motor skills following bead stringing activities among children aged 5–6 years at RA Amaliyah, Sekadau Hilir. A quantitative pre-experimental, one-group pretest–posttest design was used. Eighteen children participated in four bead stringing sessions, and their performance was assessed through observation of five task-related indicators. The reported mean score rose from 73 before the activities to 98 afterward, an increase of 25 points. The thesis also reports a paired-samples t statistic of −36.927 and a significance value below .001; however, its degrees of freedom and some accompanying statistics are inconsistent, so that test result should be verified against the original dataset. The observations indicate improvement in threading beads, arranging patterns, completing a string within the allotted time, tying the elastic, and coordinating the hands and eyes. The findings support bead stringing as a practical classroom activity, while the absence of a control group limits causal attribution.
