Abstract

Giving stimulation of fine motor development to children aged 4–5 years, will provide good reinforcement of children's abilities when using scissors media. Teachers as facilitators of various children's play activities at school, of course, must be able to provide various stages of playing. Continuous stimulation will further improve children's motor skills. Fine motor skills include drawing, writing, and tying shoelaces, and activities that involve the use of small body movements. At this stage, the teacher needs to provide various media to support the optimization of the child's abilities.One of the fine motor skills of children that need to be developed is the ability to cut in children aged 4–5 years. This study aims to determine the ability of teachers in providing services to the problems of cutting skills in children. When there are still some children who are not skilled at holding scissors and using them well, good hand muscle strengthening stimulation is needed. Seeing this problem, teachers are required to be able to stimulate children's fine motor skills in cutting activities. The purpose of this study was to see how the teacher stimulates, planning teacher activities in providing stimulation to children, and the extent to which teachers’ knowledge of the pre-scissor stage and the cutting stage of children aged 4–5 years, whose fine motor development has not developed well. The more playing experience the teacher provides in order to stimulate the child's ability in cutting activities, the better the child's ability will be. This research was conducted in the 4–5 year old group of Insan Kamil, Bulu Subdistrict, Sukoharjo Regency. The teacher's understanding of the stages of fine motor strengthening and the stage of cutting in children, needs to be known by the teacher as a facilitator in the institution. This research method uses descriptive qualitative research. The data were obtained from articles in journals and interviews with teachers at the Insan Kamil Karangasem Bulu Playgroup. The research is then described by describing the findings through observation, recording and analysis of the researcher's problems and then mapping them into a complete and practical pattern. The results showed that the teacher's ability to master the cutting stage in children includes stimulation of strengthening children's fine motor skills, understanding the cutting stage, standard scissors media for children, and understanding the cutting stage in playing activities at the center. The teacher's mastery of all these things will be seen in the way the teacher provides a variety of play activities in the classroom.
