MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MENGENAL WARNA MELALUI KEGIATAN KOLASE GEOMETRI PADA ANAK KELOMPOK B PPT MENTARI SAMBIKEREP SURABAYA

IMPROVING THE ABILITY TO RECOGNIZE COLORS THROUGH GEOMETRIC COLLAGE ACTIVITIES IN GROUP B CHILDREN AT PPT MENTARI SAMBIKEREP SURABAYA

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mengenal warna pada anak kelompok B di PPT Mentari, Sambikerep, Surabaya, melalui kegiatan kolase geometri. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) dengan dua siklus. Setiap siklus terdiri dari empat tahap: perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah 16 anak kelompok B dengan rentang usia 4-5 tahun. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan catatan lapangan, lalu dianalisis menggunakan teknik persentase.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kegiatan kolase geometri mampu meningkatkan kemampuan anak dalam mengenal warna primer (merah, kuning, biru) dan warna sekunder (hijau, oranye, ungu). Selain itu, aktivitas ini juga mendukung perkembangan motorik halus, kreativitas, dan konsentrasi anak. Berdasarkan temuan ini, kegiatan kolase geometri dapat dijadikan metode efektif dalam pembelajaran kreatif di tingkat Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD).

Kata Kunci: pengenalan warna, kolase geometri, anak usia dini, kemampuan motorik halus.

This study aims to improve color recognition skills in Group B children at PPT Mentari, Sambikerep, Surabaya, through geometric collage activities. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. Each cycle comprised four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects consisted of 16 Group B children aged 4-5 years. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and field notes and analyzed using percentage techniques.

The results showed that geometric collage activities effectively enhanced children's ability to recognize primary colors (red, yellow, blue) and secondary colors (green, orange, purple). Additionally, this activity supported the development of fine motor skills, creativity, and concentration. Based on these findings, geometric collage activities can be considered an effective method for creative learning in Early Childhood Education (ECE).

Keywords: color recognition, geometric collage, early childhood, fine motor skills.
