Abstract

Movement is the most important element in children’s motor development. Fine motor skills are body movements that use small muscles and require concentration between the eyes and hands, such as folding, cutting, and knitting. Positive social skills in children the impact of good motor development. The problem that arose so that this research was carried out was the lack of learning media to develop fine motor skills in early childhood education. The use of augmented reality media that is designed attractively can provide opportunities for children to explore their knowledge, and their ability to develop their potential. The potential that can be developed is not only physical development but also language and social interaction with the surrounding environment so that they become individuals with strong character into adulthood. The purpose of this research is to develop children’s fine motor skills by using Augmented Reality-based learning media. This study used a mixed qualitative and quantitative method, with a research and development (R n D) approach using the Lee and Owen model. Data collection techniques by observation, interviews, literature document review, and documentation. The findings of this study provide results stating that Augmented Reality media has a very positive influence on fine motor development in early childhood. The results of the one-on-one trial resulted in a score of 3.75%, the results of the small group test obtained a score of 3.82%, while the results of the field trial on 20 PAUD children scored 4.23%. There are 6 motor learning developed in this study, including the following: 1) holding writing instruments correctly; 2) imitating making vertical, flat, and oblique lines; 3) tearing the paper into shape; 4) cutting to form a straight pattern; 5) folding shapes from paper, leaves, and patchwork; 6) coloring according to the theme of the picture. Thus, augmented reality media has proven to be effective in improving fine motor skills in early childhood.
