Qamara. (2025). Meningkatkan Motorik Halus Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun Melalui Teknik Ecoprint Di Paud Ar Rayyan Darussalam Aceh Besar .[Skripsi, Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Dibawah bimbingan Taat Kurnita Yeniningsih, S.Pd., M.Pd., dan Khoiriyah, S.Pd., M.Ed.

Penelitian ini penerapan teknik ecoprint di PAUD Ar Rayyan Darussalam Aceh Besar. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus, masing-masing terdiri atas tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 10 anak, terdiri dari 4 anak laki-laki dan 6 anak perempuan. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yang meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Kegiatan ecoprint dilakukan dengan cara bermain yang disesuaikan dengan karakteristik anak usia dini, yaitu anak diajak memilih daun atau bunga dari lingkungan sekitar, menyusun dan menata bahan tersebut di atas kain, kemudian menutupnya dan memukulnya secara perlahan menggunakan palu kecil hingga pigmen alami berpindah ke kain. Selama proses ini, anak dibimbing untuk mengoordinasikan gerakan mata dan tangan saat meletakkan, menempel, serta memukul bahan ecoprint, sehingga kegiatan berlangsung aman, menyenangkan, dan bermakna. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan motorik halus anak meningkat secara signifikan setelah diterapkannya kegiatan ecoprint. Pada tahap pra-siklus, sebagian besar anak berada pada kategori Belum Berkembang (BB) dan Mulai Berkembang (MB). Setelah pelaksanaan siklus I, kemampuan anak meningkat ke kategori Berkembang Sesuai Harapan (BSH), dan pada siklus II sebagian besar anak telah mencapai kategori Berkembang Sangat Baik (BSB). Dengan demikian, teknik ecoprint terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak usia dini, sekaligus menumbuhkan kreativitas, kesabaran, dan kepedulian terhadap lingkungan.

ABSTRACT Qamara. (2025). Improving Fine Motor Skills of Children Aged 4–5 Years through the Ecoprint Technique at PAUD Ar Rayyan Darussalam Aceh Besar. [Undergraduate Thesis, Syiah Kuala University]. Supervised by Taat Kurnita Yeniningsih, S.Pd., M.Pd., and Khoiriyah, S.Pd., M.Ed. This study aims to improve the fine motor skills of children aged 4–5 years through the application of the ecoprint technique at PAUD Ar Rayyan Darussalam Aceh Besar. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 10 children, including 4 boys and 6 girls. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing.The ecoprint activities were carried out through play-based procedures appropriate to early childhood characteristics. The children were guided to select leaves or flowers from the surrounding environment, arrange and place them on fabric, cover them, and gently pound them using a small hammer until the natural pigments transferred onto the fabric. Throughout this process, children were guided to coordinate eye and hand movements while placing, sticking, and pounding the ecoprint materials, ensuring that the activity was safe, enjoyable, and meaningful. The results showed a significant improvement in children’s fine motor skills after the implementation of ecoprint activities. During the pre-cycle stage, most children were categorized as Not Yet Developed (BB) and Starting to Develop (MB). After the first cycle, their abilities improved to the Developing as Expected (BSH) category, and in the second cycle, most children reached the Very Well Developed (BSB) category. Therefore, the ecoprint technique proved to be effective in enhancing fine motor skills in early childhood while also fostering creativity, patience, and environmental awareness.
