Mosaic Imaging Technique: A Game to Optimize Fine Motor Skills in Early Cildhood

Abstract

Fine motor is a development that requires early childhood skills to control small and smooth muscles. Early childhood fine motor skills require coordination between hands and eyes, and will influence daily activities or activities at school. The problems encountered in early childhood are that their fine motor skills are still not developed and teachers in stimulating children are less innovative in carrying out the learning process, thus making children feel bored and fedup during teaching and learning activities. The aim of the research is that by mosac imaging technique, it can stimulate children's fine motor skills. The method used in this research is Classroom Action Research with a qualitative approach assisted by quantitative data processing. The indicator of success in research is called the minimum completeness 00criterion (MCC), namely 75%. The results of the research show that fine motor skills in early childhood can be improved through mosaic imaging technique activities. It is known that in initial conditions or cycle 1, the child's success indicator only reached 43.75%. Then in cycle II it increased to 87.50%, this increased significantly. It can be concluded that the mosaic imaging technique has succeeded in stimulating the fine motor skills of children in Mekar Jaya Aepodu Kindergarten, Laeya District, South Konawe Regency. Therefore, the results of the research can be used as a reference by early childhood education institutions to improve children's fine motor skills
