PENGARUH TEKNIK ECOPRINT TERHADAP MOTORIK KASAR ANAK USIA 5-6 TAHUN DI TK NEGERI PEMBINA KEC.SUMBERASIH KAB.PROBOLINGGO

Abstrak

Prasekolah merupakan periode penting dalam tumbuh kembang. Motorik kasar adalah kemampuan gerak yang melibatkan otot-otot besar. Ecoprint adalah mencetak daun diatas kain. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh teknik ecoprint terhadap motorik kasar anak usia 5–6 tahun di TK Negeri Pembina Sumberasih Probolinggo. Penelitian ini menggunakan pra-eksperimental dengan desain one group pretest-posttest. Populasi penelitian seluruh anak usia 5–6 tahun yang motorik kasarnya belum berkembang dan mulai berkembang sebanyak 40 respoden. Teknik sampling menggunkan total sampling dengan sampel seluruh anak usia 5–6 tahun yang motorik kasarnya belum berkembang dan mulai berkembang sebanyak 40 respoden. Instrumen yang digunakan lembar observasi motorik kasar dan dikumpulkan melalui proses editing,coding,scoring, dan tabulating, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan Uji Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebelum diberikan ecoprint 40 responden (100%)tergolong mulai berkembang. Setelah diberikan ecoprint, 3 responden (7,5%)tergolong berkembang sesuai harapan dan 37 responden (92,5%)tergolong berkembang sangat baik. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan nilai p-value =0,000 (α<0,05)sehingga ada pengaruh teknik ecoprint terhadap motorik kasar anak usia 5–6 tahun. Ecoprint dengan menjiplak tumbuhan diatas kain dengan palu lalu menjemur mampu merangsang sistem saraf motorik, proprioseptif, dan vestibular yang berperan dalam koordinasi gerak,keseimbangan,kontrol postur, serta penguatan otot-otot besar sehingga mendukung motorik kasar anak.

Preschool is a crucial period for growth and development. Gross motor skills involve large muscle movements. Ecoprinting involves printing leaves onto fabric. This study aimed to determine the effect of the ecoprinting technique on the gross motor skills of 5–6-year-old children at the Sumberasih State Kindergarten in Probolinggo. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. The study population was all children aged 5–6 years whose gross motor skills have not yet developed and are starting to develop, totaling 40 respondents. The sampling technique used total sampling with a sample of all children aged 5–6 years whose gross motor skills have not yet developed and are starting to develop, totaling 40 respondents. The instrument used was a gross motor observation sheet and was collected through a process of editing,coding,scoring,and tabulating,then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results of the study showed that before being given ecoprint, 40 respondents (100%) were classified as starting to develop. After being given ecoprint, 3respondents (7.5%) were classified as developing as expected and 37 respondents (92.5%)were classified as developing very well. The results of the statistical test showed a p-value=0.000 (α <0.05)so there is an effect of the ecoprint technique on the gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 years. Ecoprinting, which involves tracing plants onto fabric with a hammer and then drying them in the sun,stimulates the motor,proprioceptive,and vestibular nervous systems,which play a role in movement coordination,balance,postural control,and strengthening large muscles,thus supporting children's gross motor skills.
