BERMAIN TACTILE PLAY TERHADAP MOTORIK HALUS ANAK TUNAGRAHITA SEDANG di SDLB

Abstract

Fine motor skill in mental retardation children is generally have barriers, therefore it need solution. To contend the problem is by developing fine motor mental retardation child were performed using playing tactile play. And so do in state SDLB Tambahrejo Bojonegoro encountered mental retardation child third class students who have barrier in fine motor skill. Mental retardation child was experiencing stiffness in the muscles of the fingers which causes the child is difficult to hold, squeeze objects and write well.  Based on this study, research the playing tactile play influence to the fine motor mental retardation children in state SDLB Tambahrejo Bojonegoro.

The approach used in this research is quantitative, the type of research is pre-experimental research, the research design is "one group, pre-test–post-test design". Data collecting method is by using test and observation. Data analysis technique is data analisis statistic non parametrik with formula tests sign or “ sign test”.

The results of the study on the effect of playing tactile play against fine motor of mental retardation in third class is Zh = 2.05 > of Z tabel = 1.96 at the 5% significance level. It is proved that Ho is rejected and Ha accepted so can be concluded that playing tactile play influence the fine motor mental retardation in third class in state SDLB Tambahrejo Bojonegoro.
