MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN VISUAL PERSEPTUAL ANAK USIA 5-6 TAHUN MELALUI PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS SMARTBOARD DI TK SARANTAU SASURAMBI

Sikma, Monica, Rio Tri Putra, Sri Suhartika, Ade Marlia
Abstract: Visual perceptual ability is one of the important aspects of cognitive development in early childhood. This ability is related to children’s capacity to recognize, differentiate, interpret, and understand information received&#8230; eceived through vision. It includes the recognition of shapes, colors, sizes, patterns, and visual relationships, which are essential for children’s learning readiness. This study aims to improve the visual perceptual abilities of children aged 5–6 years at TK Sarantau Sasurambi through smartboard-based learning. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted in several cycles, namely planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were children aged 5–6 years. The research instruments included observation sheets of visual perceptual abilities (visual discrimination, visual memory, matching, sequencing, spatial relations, and eye–hand coordination), observation sheets on the use of the smartboard, and field notes. The results showed an improvement in visual perceptual abilities from the pre-cycle to Cycle I and Cycle II. Children’s mastery in the pre-cycle reached only 45%, increased to 65% in Cycle I, and reached 88% in Cycle II. The use of smartboards proved effective as it offers interactive and engaging visual learning experiences and facilitates children’s direct manipulation of objects. Therefore, smartboard-based learning is highly effective in improving the visual perceptual abilities of children aged 5–6 years.

Abstract: This study aims to determine “The Relationship Between Workload and Work Stress Among Employees at PT Everbright Rantauparapat Branch.” Workload was measured through indicators of targets to be achieved, working conditions,&#8230; itions, use of working time, work standards, and work stress was measured through indicators of task demands, role demands, organizational leadership, and interpersonal demands. The research population consisted of 36 people with a saturated sampling technique. Primary data were obtained from Likert-scale questionnaires. Based on the results of data analysis conducted, it was found that the research data met the normality assumption, as indicated by a significant value of 0.087, meaning that the data were normally distributed. In addition, the results of the linearity test showed a significance value of deviation from linearity of 0.500, which means that the relationship between workload and work stress is linear. Furthermore, the results of the simple linear regression test showed that there was a relationship between workload and work stress with a result of 0.534, meaning that there is a fairly strong relationship between workload and work stress.

Abstract: Latar Belakang: Mahasiswa perantauan merupakan kelompok rentan yang menghadapi berbagai risiko kesehatan, termasuk pergaulan bebas dan masalah kesehatan reproduksi akibat minimnya pengawasan orang tua dan tekanan adaptasi&#8230; i sosial di lingkungan baru. Jauh dari keluarga, mahasiswa perantauan sering kali menghadapi krisis identitas, pengaruh negatif teman sebaya, serta paparan konten digital yang tidak tersaring, sehingga meningkatkan risiko perilaku seksual berisiko. Tujuan: Meningkatkan pengetahuan mahasiswa mengenai pergaulan bebas, kesehatan reproduksi, dan strategi adaptasi sehat di perantauan melalui kegiatan penyuluhan kesehatan yang partisipatif dan berbasis media PowerPoint dan e-leaflet. Metode: Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini menggunakan desain kuasi-eksperimen pre-test post-test tanpa kelompok kontrol (one-group pre-test post-test design). Peserta berjumlah 54 mahasiswa Program Studi Gizi Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Halu Oleo (FKM UHO) Angkatan 2025, dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Intervensi berupa penyuluhan kesehatan interaktif menggunakan media PowerPoint, e-leaflet berbasis barcode yang dapat diakses melalui smartphone, serta sesi tanya jawab dan diskusi kelompok. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan kuesioner 15 item pilihan ganda melalui Google Form sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test dengan batas kemaknaan p < 0,05. Hasil: Rata-rata skor pengetahuan meningkat dari 13,63 pada pre-test menjadi 13,88 pada post-test, disertai peningkatan nilai median dari 14 menjadi 15 dari total skor maksimal 15. Uji Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test menunjukkan perbedaan yang bermakna secara statistik antara skor sebelum dan sesudah intervensi (Z = -2,536; p = 0,011). Peserta menunjukkan antusiasme tinggi selama sesi diskusi, dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan yang kritis dan relevan dengan pengalaman nyata di lingkungan perantauan. Kesimpulan: Penyuluhan kesehatan partisipatif berbasis media PowerPoint, dan e-leaflet terbukti efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan mahasiswa perantauan tentang adaptasi sehat, pergaulan bebas, dan kesehatan reproduksi. Pendekatan ini direkomendasikan sebagai strategi promosi kesehatan yang aplikatif di lingkungan perguruan tinggi.
