PERAN KEGIATAN MENGGAMBAR TERHADAP KETERAMPILAN MOTORIK HALUS, PERKEMBANGAN BAHASA, DAN KREATIVITAS SISWA DI TK A XYZ

Abstract

Fine motor skills, language development, and creativity are essential aspects of early childhood development. This study aims to determine the role of drawing activities in developing these three aspects among 20 students of Kindergarten A at XYZ Kindergarten, Jakarta. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental design in the form of a one-group pretest–posttest without a control class. The instrument used was an assessment rubric validated by two experts. Data were collected through observations of fine motor skills, language abilities, and creativity during drawing activities. Data analysis was conducted by calculating the n-gain to measure the improvement between pretest and posttest results, followed by testing using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed an asymp. sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 for all variables, indicating a significant difference before and after the treatment. It can be concluded that drawing activities play a significant role in improving students’ fine motor skills, language development, and creativity.

Keterampilan motorik halus, perkembangan bahasa, dan kreativitas merupakan aspek penting dalam perkembangan anak usia dini. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui peran kegiatan menggambar dalam mengembangkan ketiga aspek tersebut pada 20 siswa TK A XYZ Jakarta. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen pre-experimental design berbentuk one group pretest-posttest tanpa kelas kontrol. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa rubrik penilaian yang telah divalidasi oleh dua ahli. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi terhadap kemampuan motorik halus, bahasa, dan kreativitas selama kegiatan menggambar. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menghitung n-gain untuk melihat peningkatan hasil pretest dan posttest, kemudian diuji menggunakan Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Hasil menunjukkan nilai asymp. sig. (2-tailed) sebesar 0.000 pada seluruh variabel, yang berarti terdapat perbedaan signifikan sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Disimpulkan bahwa kegiatan menggambar berperan signifikan dalam meningkatkan keterampilan motorik halus, perkembangan bahasa, dan kreativitas siswa.
