PENGARUH PENERAPAN METODE PROJECT BASED LEARNING DAN MEDIA PLAYDOUGH TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN MOTORIK HALUS ANAK USIA 5-6 TAHUN DI PAUD TUNAS ALOR

THE INFLUENCE OF IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT BASED LEARNING METHODS AND PLAYDOUGH MEDIA ON FINE MOTOR ABILITY OF CHILDREN AGED 5-6 YEARS AT PAUD TUNAS ALOR

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan metode Project-Based Learning dan Media Playdough terhadap kemampuan motorik halus anak. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis eksperimen dengan metode Ex post facto dimana penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor pengaruh yang disebabkan adanya perubahan.  Subjek penelitian terdiri dari 30 anak dengan instrumen tes observasi. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi, angket, dan tes kemampuan. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah Pearson Correlation menggunakan Product Moment untuk mengetahui adanya korelasi antara metode Project-Based Learning dengan penggunaan media Playdough terhadap kemampuan motorik halus anak. Selain itu, untuk mengetahui tingkat pengaruh penggunaan variabel terikat terhadap variabel bebas peneliti menggunakan uji Regresi Linier berganda dan sederhana. Berdasarkan hasil uji terlihat bahwa penggunaan metode Project-Based Learning dan Media Playdough memiliki pengaruh yang sangat signifikan terhadap kemampuan motorik halus anak dengan persentase pengaruh sebesar 61.3%. Selain itu, nilai F hitung terpantau sangat jauh melebihi F tabel yakni 21.417 > F tabel 3.34, sehingga penggunaan metode project based learning dan Playdough sangat berpengaruh terhadap motorik halus anak. Disisilain, peneliti juga menemukan bahwa apabila hanya diterapkan project-based learning tanpa penggunaan media maka memiliki pengaruh sebesar 41,9 %. Sedangkan apabila penggunaan media Playdough saja tanpa adanya metode pembelajaran, tingkat persentase mencapai 52,8 %.

This research aims to determine the effect of using the Project Based Learning methods and Playdough Media on children's fine motor skills. This research uses a type of experiment with the Ex post facto method where the research aims to determine the influencing factors caused by changes. The research subjects consisted of 30 children with observation test instruments. The data collection techniques used are observation, questionnaires, and ability tests. The analysis technique used is Person Correlation using Moment Products to determine the correlation between the Project Based Learning method and the use of Playdough media on children's fine motor skills. Apart from that, to determine the level of influence of using the dependent variable on the independent variable, researchers used multiple and simple linear regression tests. Based on the test results, it can be seen that the use of the Project Based Learning method and Playdough Media has a very significant influence on children's fine motor skills with an influence percentage of 61.3%. Apart from that, the calculated F value was observed to greatly exceed the F table, namely 21.417 > F table 3.34, so the use of the PJBL and Playdough methods has a very big influence on children's fine motor skills. On the other hand, researchers also found that if PJBL was only implemented without the use of media, it would influence 41.9 %. Meanwhile, if Playdough media is used alone without any learning method, the percentage level reaches 52.8%
