Abstract


This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of ecoprint batik activities on improving children's fine motor skills in Class B of Nur Islam Santaruna Kindergarten, Makassar City. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a non-equivalent control group design. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely B1 as an experimental group that received ecoprint batik activities, and B2 as a control group that underwent regular learning activities. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation using observation sheets as instruments, and data analysis included descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test to see the difference in results between the two groups. The results showed that ecoprint batik activities significantly improved children's fine motor skills in the experimental group compared to the control group. Thus, this study implies that the application of ecoprint batik activities can be an effective learning strategy to develop children's fine motor skills in early childhood.
