Abstract

Early-age children’s physical development relates to the development of motor skill, which is defined as the ability to perform complex muscle-and-nerve acts that produce movement. To develop this skill, stimulation is needed. Responding this issue, the researcher conducted a classroom action research to enhance students’ sensory motor skill by using kokoru paper as a media to stimulate the skill. Moreover, the researcher carried out the study in Abadi Pertiwi Kindergarten MarangkayuKabupatenKutaiKartanegara and involved fifteen students aged four to five as the research subjects. In addition, the gathered data was analyzed qualitatively.  Based on the data analysis, it shows that in cycle I students’ sensory motor skill increased 31.64%. Considering the percentage which was below the indicator of success, so the researcher continued the treatment into cycle II. As the result, students improved their sensory motor skill into 94.44% in cycle II. Due the result of observation on four aspects of assessment and the percentage, it can be said that students have reached the expected minimum standard. To sum up, the usage of kokoru paper in learning activity is effective to improve students’ sensory motor skill. As the consequences, teachers are expected to increase their teaching skill and motivate students so that students are involved actively in learning activitywith kokoru paper.
