Pengembangan Media Busy Book untuk Menstimulasi Motorik Halus Anak Usia 4-5 Tahun

Abstract

The aim of this research is to describe the process of developing busy book media to stimulate fine motor skills in children aged 4-5 years. This development research uses a mixed method approach with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) development model. The components contained in busy book media include activities of sticking, inserting buttons, inserting and tying ropes, moving a flashlight and opening and closing zippers. When the media was implemented at the research location, children's enthusiasm was very high in completing the activities in the busy book media, even though some children were not able to complete the activities well. Based on the results of observations during the implementation stage, the more often children use busy book media, the more skilled they are and are able to complete activities in busy book media. This also affects children's fine motor skills. When an evaluation is carried out, children who often play busy book media are stimulated by their small muscles so that their fine motor skills improve. Even though the skills are not yet optimal, the gradual implementation of busy book media is expected to produce better results. From the 5 stages of development of the ADDIE model, busy book media was produced with the title I know wild animals to stimulate the fine motor skills of children aged 4-5 years which has been assessed as valid, practical and effective by expert media validators as well as material validators and PAUD practitioners.

Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu mendeskripsikan proses pengembangan media busy book untuk mestimulasi motorik halus anak usia 4-5 tahun. Penelitian pengembangan ini menggunakan pendekatan mixed method atau metode campuran dengan model pengembangan ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Imlementation dan Evaluation). Komponen yang terdapat dalam media busy book berupa aktivitas menempel, memasukkan kancing, memasukkan dan mengikat tali, menggerakan senter dan membuka serta menutup resleting. Saat media di implementasikan di lokasi penelitian antusias anak sangat tinggi untuk menyelesaikan aktivitas yang ada pada media busy book, meski beberapa anak belum bisa menyelesaikan aktivitasnya dengan baik. Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan selama tahap implementasi, semakin sering anak menggunakan media busy book, anak semakin mahir dan mampu menyelesaikan aktivitas dalam media busy book. Hal ini berpengaruh pula pada keterampilan motorik halus anak saat dilakukan evaluasi, anak yang sering memainkan media busy book terstimulasi otot-otot kecilnya sehingga keterampilan motorik halusnya meningkat. Meskipun keterampilannya belum optimal, namun dengan diimplementasikannya media busy book secara bertahap diharapkan memberikan hasil yang lebih baik. Dari 5 tahapan pengembangan model ADDIE dihasilkan media busy book dengan judul aku mengenal binatang buas untuk menstimulasi motorik halus anak usia 4-5 tahun yang sudah dinilai valid, praktis dan efektif oleh validator ahli media serta validator materi dan praktisi PAUD.
