INFLUENCE 5 TECHNIQUES OF FINGER PAINTING ON FINE MOTOR PHYSICAL ABILITY IN CHILDREN B GROUP

Salah satu kemampuan dasar anak yang perlu dikembangkan ialah kemampuan motorik yang terdiri dari dua yakni motorik kasar serta motorik halus. Menurut perolehan observasi awal diketahui bahwa kemampuan motorik halus anak masih belum berkembang secara optimal, sehingga perlu usaha menstimulasi kemampuan motorik halus salah satunya dengan memberikan aktivitas finger painting dengan maksud agar mengembangkan kemampuan motorik halus pada anak kelompok B di TK Istiqomah Surabaya. Penelitian ini berjenis eksperimen Pre-Eksperimental Design dengan jenis rancangan penelitian One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh anak kelompok B di TK Istiqomah Surabaya dengan sampel penelitian 24 anak. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan statistik non parametrik menggunakan uji jenjang bertanda Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test dengan rumus Thitung < Ttabel dengan menggunakan taraf signifikansi 5%. Berdasarkan hasil pengolahan data yang diperoleh Thitung=0 dan Ttabel untuk N=24 dengan taraf signifikansi 5% diperoleh sebesar 81, maka (0<81). Dengan demikian, maka Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Sehingga, hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan 5 teknik finger painting berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan motorik halus pada anak kelompok B di TK Istiqomah Surabaya.

Kata Kunci: finger painting, kemampuan motorik halus

One of children's basic skills that need to be developed is motor skills which consist of gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Based on the outcomes of the initial observations, it was discovered that the children’s fine motor skills were yet to develop optimally. Therefore, it was necessary to take some actions to stimulate such skills. One of which was by providing finger painting activities with the aim of developing the children’s fine motor skills in group B at Istiqomah Kindergarten Surabaya. This study used Pre-Experimental Design with the type of One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population of this study was the whole children of group B at Istiqomah Kindergarten Surabaya with a sample of 24 children. The data collection techniques used were observation. The data analysis technique was non-parametric statistics using the Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Test with  Tcount < Ttable and a significance level of 5%. Based on the data processing result of , while Tcount =0 while Ttable for N=24 with a significance level of 5% was 81, hence (0<81). Thus, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the activity of 5 finger painting techniques affected the children’s fine motor skills in group B at Istiqomah Kindergarten Surabaya.
