Pemanfaatan bahan alam yang ada di sekitar lingkungan sekolah masih jarang sekali dilakukan oleh guru untuk mendorong kemampuan klasifikasi pada anak usia dini usia 5-6 tahun. Guru hanya menggunakan media berupa benda konkret yang ada di kelas saja. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan penggunaan media bahan alam dalam membantu meningkatkan kemampuan klasifikasi pada anak usia dini. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan Teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil observasi selama lima kali pertemuan, menunjukkan bahwa guru menggunakan media bahan alam untuk mengembangkan kemampuan mengklasifikasi benda pada anak usia dini. Media bahan alam yang adalah batu-batu kecil, benih padi, biji salak, biji asam, air, sirup warna warni, batang pohon kering dan daun. Aktivitas belajar yang dilakukan siswa adalah mencari, mengumpulkan, mengelompokkan, membedakan, bermain sains dan menanam. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa penggunaan media bahan alam dapat meningkatkan kemampuan klasifikasi anak usia dini.Teachers rarely use natural materials around the school environment to encourage classification skills in children aged 5-6 years. Teachers only use media in the form of concrete objects in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to determine the use of natural media in improving early childhood’s classification ability. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with interviews, observation and documentation as data collection method. The results of this study indicate that the teacher used the natural media to develop their pupils’ object classification skills. During playing and learning activities teachers used natural materials such as tree branches, seeds, colourful liquid or syrup and inanimate objects. Learning activities carried out by students were searching, collecting, grouping, differentiating, playing science, and planting. This study concludes that the use of natural media can improve the classification skills of early childhood.

The purposes of this research are to find out and describe: (1) the process of practical life activities in Right Steps Pancoran, (2) kinds of practical life activities that have been done, (3) the purpose and the advantages of studying the practical life activities, (4) the relation between practical life activities on children and the development of their fine motor skill, and (5) the relation of practical life activities on children and their independency. The subjects of this research are 5 children by the age of three to four years old in Annie Apple class of Right Steps Pancoran. This research employed qualitative method and phenomenology study. The researcher used Mills and Huberman model to analyze the data. Observation, interview, photo/video documentations, and field records were used as the collecting data techniques. The result of the analyses showed, (1) there are two methods that have been used in Right Step Pancoran in applying practical life activities i.e. work cycle and three period lessons, (2) there are some activities that can be done in practical life activity such as transferring, pouring, and cutting, (3) there are purposes and advantages that can develop and stimulate each of the student’s growth aspects, (4) the practical life activities that have been done and focusing on the child’s fine muscle can stimulate the development of the children’s fine motor skill, and (5) the practical life activities that have been done can also stimulate the children’s independency by introducing to the activity that can make the children to be more independent.

The Purpose of this research is to improve ability of geometry through cacaburange games. This research was implemented at Setiabudhi Kindergarten, Rangkasbitung in July-August 2018/2019. The method used is action research through two cycles, the cycles consist of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Subjects were children ages 4-5 years at TK Setiabudhi who had problems in ability of geometry as many as 10 people. Data collecting using observation sheets, field notes, and record documentation. Analysis of the percentage of data used in this study based on Mills in the amount of 71%, the end result of overall analysis is 84,66% with increased 46,11%. Based on the increasing percentage of the current study, it can be stated that the hypothesis is accepted. It can be concluded that the use of cacaburange games can improve ability of geometry on children ages 4-5 years. The implications of this research that the cacaburange games can be used as an alternative to improve the ability of geometry. Increased ability of geometry in children can help with the child’s ability to understand and recognize geometry.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan motorik halus anak usia dini melalui kegiatan seni rupa di PAUD As-Syifa.

The type of research used was a class action on the subject of a kober and nisa group's 14 children. This type of study is the classroom action study that is focused on a classroom or classroom action called the risearch classroom. The data gathering tool consists of observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis of class action research is carried out in a series of steps with multiple cycles, in a cycle of four stages of planning, execution of actions, observation, and reflection. The precautionary activities that led to the study produced data that the average value of new people's exploration capabilities reached 27.41%. Action in research of this ability to explore is carried out in two cycles. Based on cycle ii, the average child's ability has reached an 85.28%. These developments have reached success indicators where research is said to be successful when it reaches 76%. Thus, the study may be said to be successful.
