INTERVENSI MOTORIK HALUS MELALUI METODE DOODLING BERMEDIA STYLUS PEN BAGI ANAK TUNAGRAHITA
Kemampuan motorik halus tunagrahita memiliki hambatan bila dibandingkan dengan anak normal. Perkembangan jasmani dan motorik anak tunagrahita tidak secepat perkembangan anak normal. Untuk meningkatkan keterampilan motorik halus anak-anak tunagrahita, penting untuk menggunakan metode intervensi yang sesuai. Salah satu pendekatan yang efisien adalah pemanfaatan metode corat-coret atau doodling untuk menganalisis seberapa pengaruh metode doodling terhadap kemampuan motorik halus anak tunagrahita maka dilakukan penelitian dengan tujuan menganalisis kemampuan motorik halus anak tunagrahita sebelum dan sesudah diterapkan metode doodling bermedia stylus pen. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian Pre Experimental Design, khususnya menggunakan model One Group Pretest dan Posttest Design. Berlokasi di SLB AKW 1 Surabaya dengan 7 subjek penelitian pada kelas 2 dan 3. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan teknik analisis data berupa statistik nonparametrik dengan uji Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Test dengan hasil perolehan data nilai Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) 0,018 ≤ 0,05, sehingga dapat dinyatakan bahwa H0 ditolak dan Ha diterima. Maka, dapat disimpulkan bahwa hasil penelitian yang diperoleh melalui pengujian Wilcoxon yaitu adanya perbedaan kemampuan motorik halus anak tunagrahita sedang sesudah dan sebelum diterapkan metode doodling.

The fine motor skills of mentally retarded children are have obtacles when compared to normal children. The physical and motor development of mentally retarded children is not as fast as that of normal children. To improve the fine motor skills of children with intellectual disabilities, it is important to use appropriate intervention methods. One effective approach is the use of the doodling or doodling method to analyze how much influence the doodling method has on the fine motor skills of mentally retarded children. So research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the fine motor skills of mentally retarded children before and after the use of the stylus pen-based doodling method. This research uses a Pre Experimental Design research approach, specifically using the One Group Pretest and Posttest Design model. Located at SLB AKW 1 Surabaya with 7 research subjects in grades 2 and 3. In this research, data analysis techniques were used in the form of non-parametric statistics with the Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Test with the results of obtaining Asymp value data. Sig. (2-tailed) 0.018 ≤ 0.05, so it can be stated that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. So, it can be concluded that the research results obtained through the Wilcoxon test were that there were differences in the fine motor skills of moderately mentally retarded children after and before the doodling method was applied.
