Fine Motor Development in Toddlers Aged 36-60 Months Before and After Stimulation in Bineh Blang Village, Ingin Jaya District, Aceh Besar Regency, Indonesia

Abstract

Fine motor skills are integral to child development, often receiving insufficient attention despite their significant impact on overall cognitive abilities. This study aims to evaluate the difference in the development of fine motor skills before and after receiving developmental stimulation among children aged 36-60 months in the village of Bineh Blang, Ingin Jaya District, Aceh Besar Regency. The research method employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test approaches. A sample of 30 toddlers was selected using a purposive sampling technique. The given data shows a significant improvement in fine motor skills among 36-month-old children after receiving developmental stimulation. In the test of placing 4 cubes, there was an increase from a score of 1.00 in the pre-test to 1.00 in the post-test. In the test of placing eight cubes, there was an improvement from 0.83 (pre-test) to 1.00 (post-test). The test for building a bridge also increased from 0.67 (pre-test) to 1.00 (post-test). Although the tests of stacking blocks into a tower and drawing a cross line displayed minor improvements, progress was still seen from 0.33 to 0.50 and from 0.17 to 0.33, respectively. The test of drawing a circle also demonstrated improvement from 0.50 to 0.67.
