Abstract

This study is motivated by the children’s visual spatial skills issue in TK Wijaya Kusumah which focuses on activities such as pointing direction by hand, drawing. It also focuses on the limited tool of learning resources to support visual spatial skill learning.The issue is then formulated in questions such as (1) how is the condition of children’s visual spatial skills in TK Wijaya Kusumah before the kirigami activity, (2) how is the process of kirigami activity in improving children’s visual spatial skills in TK Wijaya Kusumah, (3) how is the condition of the children’s visual spatialskills in TK Wijaya Kusumah after the kirigami activity.This study aims to find out the efforts of improving children’s visual spatial skills through kirigami activity. The method used is the class action research. This research consists of two cycles. There are two actions performed in each action. There are 11 children in total that are given the action (age of 5-6 years old). The result of pre-cycle observation shows visual spatialskills in percentage as follows: children in the categories B=46,02%, category C=38,64%, and category K=15,34%. The post-cycle observation result shows that the children’s visual spatial skills are increased through the kirigami activity. In percentage, children in category B=84,56%, category C=15,44%, category K=0%,. It can be concluded that kirigami activity can improve children’s visual spatial skills development. It is recommended forSchoolto provide references to support the preparation of teaching materials. As for teachers, it is recommended tousevarious media that canstimulate children’s visual spatial skills developmentstages. Finally, it is expected from the next researchers to be able to solve the visual spatial skill issue with methods and techniques that are more advanced to improve the quality of early childhood education.

Abstract

Early childhood education is one means to help children get the basic concepts of knowledge and the first institution that can provide meaningful life skills/experience. One of the skills that needs to be stimulated in children is science skills. Science skills are techniques used by children in obtaining first-hand information from the activities they carry out. But the problem that is often found in Early childhood education is that science learning is only focused on the reasoning of children with minimal media at the time of learning. While children are still in the period of concrete thinking, it means learning media are needed to support the development of the concept of thinking and having skills, especially in science skills. Seeing the existing problems, researchers tried to conduct research by trying the Discovery Method in developing science skills at the age of 4-5 years. The aim of this research is to describe the condition of science skills in the aspects of observing and communicating before and after the discovery method treatment. This research uses quantitative methods that use quasi-experimental research. The subject of the research is Wijaya Kusumah Kindergarten Cimahi City students aged 4-5 years. The results showed that the use of discovery methods to improve the skills of the process of observing and communicating in TK Wijaya Kusumah showed significant significance. The ability to observe in children based on the results of the pretest average value of 33.38 and the average value of potstest results 59.54. The data contained a difference in increase of 26,16. The results of the study of the ability to communicate in children in Wijaya Kusumah Kindergarten based on the results of the pretest average value of 25.88 and 49.96 posttest results. There was a difference of increase of 24.08. Thus the discovery method is effective in developing aspects of observing and communicating science skills in children aged 4-5 years.
