PENGARUH METODE PROYEK SPIN WATER  TERHADAP KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS ANAK KELOMPOK B DI TK EKA REMAJA SURABAYA

THE INFLUENCE OF THE SPIN WATER PROJECT METHOD ON THE SCIENCE PROCESSING SKILLS OF GROUP B CHILDREN AT EKA TEENAGE KINDERGARTEN SURABAYA

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji adanya pengaruh metode proyek spin water terhadap keterampilan proses sains anak kelompok B di TK Eka Remaja Surabaya, yang dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya keterampilan proses sains. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif menggunakan jenis one group pre test and post test design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah anak kelompok B di TK Eka Remaja Surabaya dengan sampel berjumlah 23 anak dimana sampel ini merupakan sampel jenuh karena kurang dari 30 anak. Instrumen penelitian yang diamati ada empat, yakni kemampuan mengetahui cara mengamati suatu benda, kemampuan mengetahui cara bereksperimen, kemampuan mengetahui cara mengukur suatu benda, dan kemampuan mengetahui cara mengkomunikasikan hasil proyek. Penelitian dilaksanakan sebanyak 6 kali pertemuan dengan pre test 1 kali, treatment 4 kali, dan post test 1 kali. Kegiatan pretest dilakukan dengan kegiatan metode proyek balon mengembang tanpa ditiup, kegiatan treatment dilakukan melalui kegiatan metode proyek spin water dimana guru mencontohkan langkah- langkah dalam melakukan metode proyek spin water secara urut dan perlahan sehingga anak mampu mengikuti. Disamping mencontohkan langkah, guru juga harus menggunakan bahasa yang jelas dan mudah dipahami oleh anak. Guru juga memastikan bahwa anak mampu mengikuti setiap langkah yang dilakukan guru dengan meminta seluruh anak untuk bersama- sama mengikutinya. Kegiatan posttest juga dilakukan dengan kegiatan metode proyek balon mengembang tanpa ditiup. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik observasi dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Match and Pairs melalui program komputer IBM SPSS 25. Hasil analisis penelitian sangat signifikan yaitu diketahui Asymp. Sig (2- tailed) sebesar 0,001 dimana nilai tersebut lebih kecil dari nilai 0,05, (0,001 <0,05). Sehingga H0 ditolak dan Ha diterima. Berdasarkan data tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada pengaruh metode proyek spin water terhadap keterampilan proses sains anak kelompok B di TK Eka Remaja Surabaya. Saran bagi peneliti selanjutnya ketika menggunakan metode proyek spin water sebaiknya dilakukan dengan membentuk kelompok- kelompok kecil agar lebih mudah mengkondisikan anak.

This research aims to examine the influence of the spin water project method on the science process skills of group B children at Eka Teen Kindergarten Surabaya, which is motivated by low science process skills. This research uses a quantitative approach using a one group pre test and post test design. The population in this study were group B children at Eka Teen Kindergarten Surabaya with a sample of 23 children, where this sample was a saturated sample because there were less than 30 children. There were four research instruments observed, namely the ability to know how to observe an object, the ability to know how to experiment, the ability to know how to measure an object, and the ability to know how to communicate project results. The research was carried out in 6 meetings with 1 pre-test, 4 times treatment, and 1 post-test. The pretest activity was carried out using the balloon project method inflating without being blown up, the treatment activity was carried out through the spin water project method activity where the teacher modeled the steps in making the spin water project method sequentially and slowly so that the children were able to follow. Apart from modeling steps, teachers must also use language that is clear and easy for children to understand. The teacher also ensures that the children are able to follow every step the teacher takes by asking all the children to follow it together. Posttest activities were also carried out using the project method of inflating balloons without being blown up. Data collection techniques use observation and documentation techniques. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Match and Pairs test via the IBM SPSS 25 computer program. The results of the research analysis were very significant, namely Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) is 0.001, where this value is smaller than the value 0.05, (0.001 <0.05). So H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Based on these data, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the spin water project method on the science process skills of group B children at Eka Teen Kindergarten Surabaya. Suggestions for future researchers when using the spin water project method should be done by forming small groups to make it easier to condition children.
