Abstract

Purpose of the study: The primary objective of this research is to investigate the influence of the traditional game, Congklak, on the development of fine motor skills in early childhood at Kasih Bunda Kindergarten. Methodology: This study employed an experimental research design with a pre-experimental approach. The participants consisted of students from the B2 group at Kasih Bunda Kindergarten, South Aceh, totaling 27 students in the experimental class. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive quantitative methods, comparing the averages of pre-test and post-test data collected through observations. Hypothesis testing was performed using the t-test based on the results of the activity scale. Main Findings: The main finding of this research is the comparison of average values before and after the treatment. With tcount > ttable, specifically 27.30 > 2.056, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, indicating a significant difference between the scores obtained from the initial and final tests at a 95% confidence level. Consequently, it can be concluded that the Congklak game significantly contributes to the development of fine motor skills in young children at Kasih Bunda Kindergarten. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in the discovery of the potential of traditional games, such as Congklak, not merely as recreational activities but as effective tools for enhancing young children's fine motor skills, particularly in understanding number concepts and counting activities, thereby making classroom learning more engaging and enjoyable.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the bamboo dancing learning model in enhancing students' problem-solving skills related to spatial geometry. Methodology: Conducted as Classroom Action Research (CAR), the study was implemented in two cycles, each consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data collection methods included observation, tests, and documentation. The subjects were 24 students from VD class at SDN No.13/1 Muara Bulian, comprising 12 female and 12 male students. Main Findings: The study found that the bamboo dancing learning model significantly improved students' problem-solving abilities in spatial geometry. This model involved students working on problems through discussions with partners, followed by a rotation to new partners, mimicking the movements of bamboo dancing. Varied learning media were used in each cycle to enhance the learning process. In the first cycle, the success rate of students' problem-solving abilities was 61.01%, categorized as sufficient. By the second cycle, the success rate increased to 81.64%, categorized as good. These results indicate that the bamboo dancing learning model met the research achievement indicators, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving students' spatial problem-solving skills. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research is innovative as it combines spatial mathematics with the performing art of bamboo dancing. This interdisciplinary approach not only enhances students' geometric problem-solving skills but also enriches their learning experiences by integrating physical movement and cultural elements.
