The results of the paint smearing activity to promote the ability to use Small muscles of early childhood children

Abstract

The purposes of this research were 1) to study the ability to use small muscles of early childhood children who received and did not receive art activities in organizing paint smearing activities. both before the start and after the activity ends. 2) To develop activities for teaching techniques for using art for organizing paint smearing activities. To promote the ability to use small muscles in early childhood Sample group used in research They are early childhood children between the ages of 4-5 years who are studying in Kindergarten 2, semester 1, academic year 2022, of a school that is willing to cooperate in participating in the experiment, totaling 36 people, arranging a sample of 16 people into the experimental group and the group Controlled 20 people. The tool used in this research was a small muscle ability test. and a plan for organizing paint smearing activities created by the researcher This research is a quasi-experimental research (Quasi Experimental Research). For data analysis, t-test was used using Independent-Sample t-test and Pair-Sample t-test statistics. The results found that (1) children who received Receive activities using art to organize paint-smearing activities. Has the ability to use small muscles. It was significantly higher than children who did not participate in the activity of using art in organizing paint smearing activities at the .05 level (2). And after the experiment, children who received the activity using art in organizing paint smearing activities with fingers The ability to use small muscles after the experiment was higher than before the experiment, with statistical significance at the .01 level.
