PENGARUH KEGIATAN MEMBATIK JUMPUTAN TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN MOTORIK HALUS ANAK DI TAMAN KANAK-KANAK NEGERI SAPTA MARGA 1 PESISIR SELATAN

Abstract

When children are between five and six years old, their fine motor skills do not

develop optimally because there are not enough interesting learning activities to

develop them. As can be observed when children hold a pencil, there are still

children who have difficulty holding a pencil correctly. This is why a study on the

effect of jumputan batik on the development of fine motor skills in children was

conducted. Finding out how jumputan batik activities affect children's fine motor

skills is the main objective of this study. Quasy Experiment technique was used in

this quantitative study. Fifteen students from classes B1 and B2 formed the study

population, which included all students at TK N Sapta Marga 1. Class B1 was the

control class while class B2 was the experimental class with the sampling technique

used being Purposive Sampling. The data collection procedure was through testing,

observation, and documentation. The data analysis procedure included normality

test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis test. By using SPSS 25.0 for Windows and

a significance threshold of 5% (0.05), the data results were processed. The study

found that the control group achieved an average score of 15.47 on the pre-test,

while the experimental group achieved an average score of 16.00. After treatment,

the average post-test score was 24.33 for the experimental group and 22.20 for the

control group. The t-test obtained from the two-tailed t-test was 0.043 <0.05. Finally,

there was a significant effect between the activity of making jumputan batik on

children's fine motor skills.
