THE ARRANGEMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TEST RESULTS OF FINE MOTOR SKILL ASSESSMENTS FOR PRE-WRITING READINESS AND ITS PRE-REQUISITE

Abstract

This research is motivated by the need for an assessment that can measure the fine motor skill development of the pre-writing readiness of a child. The assessment in this study includes the systematic process of collecting data and information on the development of fine motor skills in pre-writing readiness possessed by students, the obstacles or difficulties, and the current individual learning needs. In conducting the assessment, the researchers at first designed an assessment instrument by developing available points of fine motor aspects of pre-writing readiness. Then, the instrument became a reference in the implementation of the assessment. The purpose of the research is to arrange an assessment to be a reference that helps teachers, education practitioners, students and parents knowing the fine motor skills of students, finding resistance and aspects that cause students not to be able to write, and finding valuable information to create a learning program. Based on the results of an experiment conducted in TK MustikaLembang (Mustika kindergarten), it was found that there were two children who had pre-writing skill problems. The results of the experiment are expected to be a reference for teachers and schools in preparing a learning program for children.
