Implementasi Kegiatan Adiwiyata untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Motorik Halus Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

Adiwiyata adalah salah satu program yang terdapat di PAUD Al-Muhabbah tentang penanaman kepedulian terhadap lingkungan sejak dini. Pada kegiatan Adiwiyata ini anak usia dini diajak untuk merawat lingkungan seperti merawat tanaman dengan cara mencabut rumput, merapihkan tanah, dan memetik daun yang sudah kuning, hal tersebut dapat melatih kemampuan motorik halus anak. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui peningkatan motorik halus anak di PAUD Al-Muhabbah melalui kegiatan adiwiyata. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Subjek penelitian pada 10 anak kelompok A. Pendekatan studi kasus menjelaskan suatu program secara menyeluruh sesuai keadaan. Pengumpulan data meliputi observasi dan wawancara. Analisis data dilakukan dengan analisis data kualitatif yaitu pengumpulan data, redaksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil kajian menggambarkan implementasi kegiatan adiwiyata di lingkungan sekolah mendapatkan hasil yang signifikan dalam peningkatan kemampuan motorik halus anak, terlihat dari indikator koordinasi mata dan tangan yang semula anak belum bisa mengkoordinasikan mata dan tangannya saat berkegiatan, setelah melakukan kegiatan adiwiyata anak sudah dapat mengkoordinasikan mata dan tangannya dan pada indikator anak memiliki kekuatan jari jemari yang sebelumnya kekuatan jari jemari anak terlihat lemah namun setelah melakukan kegiatan adiwiyata ini anak menjadi memiliki kekuatan pada otot jari jemarinya.   Adiwiyata is one of the programs implemented at PAUD Al-Muhabbah to instill environmental awareness from an early age. Through Adiwiyata activities, early childhood learners are encouraged to care for the environment by engaging in activities such as removing weeds, tidying soil, and collecting yellow leaves. These activities can also support the development of children’s fine motor skills. Therefore, this study aims to examine the improvement of children’s fine motor skills at PAUD Al-Muhabbah through the implementation of Adiwiyata activities. This study employed a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The research subjects consisted of 10 Group A children. The case study approach was used to provide a comprehensive description of the program as implemented in its actual context. Data were collected through observation and interviews. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative analysis procedures, including data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the implementation of Adiwiyata activities in the school environment produced significant improvements in children’s fine motor skills. This improvement was evident in indicators of hand–eye coordination, where initially children were unable to coordinate their eyes and hands effectively during activities. After participating in Adiwiyata activities, children demonstrated improved hand–eye coordination. In addition, improvements were observed in finger strength; previously, children’s finger muscles appeared weak, but following the activities, children showed increased finger muscle strength.
