WORDWALL'S INTERACTIVE ONLINE GAME AGAINST FINE MOTOR SKILLS IN GRADE 6 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

Learning by playing is one of the meaningful experiences for students. The activity that students do to fill their time during the pandemic is to play games on their devices. Most students tend to fill their free time playing games. However, very few or even almost no students play games while studying. Of course, the games they play are regardless of the subject matter they are studying in school. This study aims to introduce students to game-based learning related to the material they are studying in school and improve their fine motor skills.  This research uses quantitative research methods. Participants in this study were 20 grade 6 students of Kepanjenlor Elementary School 2 Blitar City. The results of this study showed an improvement in fine motor skills in students. Fine motor abilities include concentration between the eyes and hands.
