Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of educational game tools in developing fine motor skills among early childhood students at Kemala Bhayangkari 80 Sampang Kindergarten. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, it involved 15 children (ages 4-6), five teachers, and three parents over a six-month period through observations, interviews, and document analysis. Findings show that tools like plasticine, building blocks, puzzles, finger painting, picture books, and beading each uniquely support fine motor skills such as finger strength, coordination, and creative control. An average improvement of 40-45 points per tool type was observed. This study highlights the importance of a structured educational game-based curriculum, ongoing teacher training, and school-family collaboration to maximize tool efficacy. Future research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of educational game tools on children’s academic performance and to assess the potential of technology-enhanced tools for fine motor skill development.

Abstract

Generation Alpha (Gen-A), who have grown up in the digital era, are more interested in interactive and visual learning. However, traditional methods such as worksheets are considered monotonous, reducing motivation and engagement in learning. This study aims to implement Augmented Reality (AR) based Experimental Learning as an innovative solution to overcome the boredom of Gen-A children with conventional worksheets in Early Childhood Education (ECE). The research gap lies in the lack of exploration of AR in ECE, particularly in Indonesia, as well as the limited studies on the learning needs of early childhood. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with observation, interviews, and document analysis at RA Nurul Ulum. The results show that conventional worksheets are boring and decrease children's learning motivation. These findings emphasize the importance of AR-based and experiential learning innovations that are adaptive to the characteristics of Gen-A, creating a more engaging and effective learning environment.

Abstract

Gross motor development is a critical aspect of early childhood education, enabling children to build coordination, balance, and body strength. This study aimed to improve children’s gross motor skills through the implementation of clogs (bakiak) traditional games in Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal III Paranga Kindergarten, Gowa Regency. Using classroom action research conducted in two cycles, the study involved nine boys aged 5–6 years as participants. Data were collected through observation and performance assessments and analyzed descriptively. The results showed a significant improvement in gross motor skills, with the percentage of children achieving the expected developmental level increasing from 27.08% in the pre-cycle to 62.5% in cycle I, and 93.05% in cycle II. These findings indicate that clogs traditional games provide effective, culturally relevant, and engaging activities for enhancing young children’s gross motor development. The study contributes practical insights for integrating local traditional games into early childhood education settings.
