| description | This study explores fine motor skills performance among Singaporean kindergarten students. The study adopted a qualitative method of inquiry. The data was acquired through in-depth interviews with thirteen experienced teachers on the emergent behaviors of children; All the 13 participants, have a minimum of 3 years of experience working at the early childhood stage, their age between 20 and 40 years old. Additional data was collected using observations from 20 children participated in the study with age 5 and 6 years old. Analysis of data showed that students with good fine motor skills are more likely to succeed in activities. This research also indicated that preparing children for school is essential since they must work on their fine motor skills to do basic tasks on their own. The study underscores the significance of targeted activities to enhance fine motor skills, paving the way for potential improvements in early childhood education and development programs. Limitations of the research design are discussed along with implications for future research. |
