Retardasi mental merupakan kondisi yang mengalami keterlambatan perkembangan dimulai pada masa anak, ditandai kemampuan kognitif di bawah normal dan terdapat kendala pada perilaku adaptif sosial. Masalah yang diakibatkan karena retardasi mental yaitu cara berfikirnya terlalu sederhana atau mengalami keterlambatan dalam berfikir dan menulis sehingga dalam bidang akademik sangat lemah, anak retardasi mental juga memiliki permasalahan pada aspek motorik halusnya. Banyak metode yang dapat diberikan pada anak retardasi mental seperti senam otak melalui gerakan arm activation da terapi kolase. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektifitas senam otak melalui gerakan arm activation dibandingkan terapi kolase terhadap motorik halus pada anak retardasi mental. Rancangan penelitian ini menggunakan quasy experiment dengan desain penelitian two group pre-post test design. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah uji Wilcoxon dan untuk mengetahui perbedaan efektifitas menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney. Hasil uji statistik didapatkan hasil p value 0.000 (p>0.05) hal ini dapat disimpulkan terapi kolase lebih efektif dari pada pemberian senam otak melalui gerakan arm activation terhadap motorik halus pada anak retardasi mental di SLB Negeri Ungaran. Diharapkan peneliti selanjutnya bisa memodifikasi pada prosedur terapi kolase untuk meningkatan motorik halus anak retardasi mental.

The prevalence of mental retardation in Indonesia is 5.250.000 people suffering from mental retardation. Problems caused by mental retardation are the way of thinking that is too simple or experiencing a retardation in thinking and writing that it makes someone poor in academics. Also, a child with mental retardation has a problem in the fine motoric aspect. Many methods can be given to children with mental retardation such as a brain gym through arm activation movement and kolase therapy. The study aims at determining the effectiveness of the brain gym through arm activation movement compared to kolase therapy on fine motoric in children with mental retardation. The study uses quasy experiment with two group pre-post test research design. The statistical test used is Wilcoxon test and Mann-Whitney test to determine the difference of the effectiveness. The statistical test result in p value 0,000 (p>0,05). It can be concluded that kolase therapy is more effective than the brain gym through arm activation movement on the fine motoric in children with mental retardation at SLB Negeri Ungaran. it is suggested to the next researcher to modify the procedure of the kolase therapy to improve the fine motoric of the children with mental retardation. Keywords : brain gym, arm activation, kolase therapy, fine motoric, children with mental retardation
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
