Kemahiran menggunting adalah sokongan kepada kemahiran menulis dan kemahiran-kemahiran bilateral pergerakan motor yang lain. Oleh itu, tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemahiran menggunting kanak-kanak dengan menggunakan kaedah tunjuk cara dalam Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (PdP) tunjang perkembangan fizikal dan estetika. Kajian ini juga bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti implikasi kaedah tunjuk cara terhadap proses PdP. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif dengan reka bentuk kajian tindakan. Kajian ini melibatkan kanak-kanak kelas 5 tahun daripada sebuah tadika swasta di Bukit Beruntung, Selangor. Dua orang kanak-kanak yang didapati mengalami masalah menggunakan gunting telah dipilih sebagai peserta kajian. Data dikumpul daripada senarai semak, nota lapangan, foto dan temu bual, seterusnya dianalisis mengikut tema. Analisis data menunjukkan Peserta 2 iaitu kanak-kanak lelaki mengalami peningkatan kemahiran menggunting dari aspek pegangan gunting dan gerakan memotong, manakala Peserta 1 iaitu kanak-kanak perempuan masih lagi lemah disebabkan kurang keyakinan diri. Selain itu, dapatan juga menunjukkan kaedah tunjuk cara dapat meningkatkan kefahaman dan minat kanak-kanak 5 tahun selain daripada dua orang peserta kajian tersebut, sekali gus melancarkan proses PdP. Kesimpulannya, penerapan kaedah tunjuk cara dalam aktiviti fizikal dan estetika telah meningkatkan kemahiran menggunting, kefahaman dan minat kanak-kanak, namun tidak memberi kesan secara menyeluruh. Implikasi kajian ini ialah kaedah tunjuk cara wajar diterapkan dalam PdP bagi tunjang perkembangan fizikal dan estetika selain menggunting khususnya yang melibatkan kemahiran bilateral pergerakan motor, tetapi perlu mengintegrasikan peneguhan positif.
Scissoring skills support writing skills and other bilateral motor skills. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop children’s scissoring skills by using demonstration method in the Teaching and Learning (T&L) of physical development and aesthetics strand. In addition, this study also aimed to identify the implication of demonstration method in the T&L process. This study is a qualitative study that employs an action research design. This study involved a 5-years-old class from a private kindergarten in Bukit Beruntung, Selangor. Two children who have problems in using scissors were selected as the research participants. The data were collected from checklists, field notes, photos and interview, which was then analyzed according to themes. The data analysis revealed that Participant 2, who is a boy has developed the aspects of cutting skills namely scissor grip and cutting motion, while Participant 1, a girl was still weak because of lacking self-confidence. Besides, the findings revealed that the demonstration method increased the understanding and interests of 5-years-old children, other than the two participants, thus smoothen the T&L process. In conclusion, the application of demonstration method in physical and aesthetic activities improved the children’s scissoring skills, interests and also their understanding, but the effects were not overall. The implication of this study is that the demonstration method should be applied in the T&L of physical development and aesthetics strand, other than scissoring, specifically those involving bilateral motor skills, however, needs to be integrated with positive reinforcement.
