Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve the fine motor skills of early childhood through the implementation of Smart Board (Digital Whiteboard) media in Group B of TK Islam Darul Bayan. The fine motor skills of children at TK Islam Darul Bayan were still relatively low. This was evident during learning activities, where several children experienced difficulties in performing tasks involving the coordination of small muscles, such as tracing lines, drawing simple shapes, writing, and following patterns accurately. In addition, the learning methods used were less varied, causing children to be less interested and less active in fine motor skill development activities. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR). The actions designed in this study consisted of two cycles. Cycle I was conducted in four actions, and Cycle II was also conducted in four actions. The subjects of this study were 9 children in Group B of TK Islam Darul Bayan. The intervention design of this research included the following stages: (a) planning, (b) implementation of actions and observation, and (c) reflection. Data were collected through observation, field notes, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by comparing children's fine motor skill abilities before and after the implementation of the actions. The results of the pre-research showed that children's fine motor skills reached classical completeness of 33.33%. After the implementation of actions in Cycle I, there was an improvement to 55.55%. Furthermore, after the implementation of actions in Cycle II, children's fine motor skills increased to 88.88%. Thus, children's fine motor skills improved and reached the category of Very Well Developed (VWD). It can therefore be concluded that the implementation of Smart Board (Digital Whiteboard) media can improve the fine motor skills of early childhood in Group B of TK Islam Darul Bayan.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve children's cognitive abilities in the symbolic thinking aspect through the implementation of the Make A Match learning model using picture cards for Group B children at TK Hubbul Khair Pepanda in the 2025/2026 academic year. The study was motivated by the low level of children's symbolic thinking skills, as indicated by difficulties in recognizing number symbols, matching number symbols with the corresponding number of objects, and classifying pictures based on quantity. These problems were caused by teacher-centered learning and the limited use of engaging learning media. This study employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research was conducted in two cycles involving 11 children in Group B of TK Hubbul Khair Pepanda. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and performance assessment, and analyzed using descriptive quantitative analysis with percentage calculations. The findings revealed that the implementation of the Make A Match learning model using picture cards significantly improved children's symbolic thinking abilities. In the preliminary stage, only 3 children (27.27%) achieved the categories of Developing as Expected (DAE) and Very Well Developed (VWD). After the implementation of Cycle I, the achievement increased to 7 children (63.64%), and further increased to 10 children (90.91%) in Cycle II, exceeding the predetermined success indicator of 80%. It can be concluded that the implementation of the Make A Match learning model using picture cards is effective in improving children's cognitive abilities, particularly symbolic thinking, among Group B children at TK Hubbul Khair Pepanda in the 2025/2026 academic year.
