"Home, bagi anak prasekolah, tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai sebuah naungan tempat tercukupinya kebutuhan primer anak, tapi juga suatu lingkungan tempat anak prasekolah ini dapat berkembang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan kemampuannya. Inilah yang harus dipenuhi oleh Taman Penitipan Anak (TPA). Penulisan skripsi ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana fungsi home bagi anak prasekolah itu terpenuhi. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, perlu mengetahui apa sebenarnya home itu dan apa saja unsur pembentuknya; karakter anak prasekolah, yang meliputi perkembangan dan kebutuhan di periode tersebut; dan beberapa panduan desain tentang suatu lingkungan fisik anak, dalam hal ini day care center, yang baik. Berdasarkan analisis studi kasus yang telah dilakukan terhadap tiga TPA di lingkungan kantor melalui observasi dan wawancara, diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa tidak semua TPA yang menjadi objek studi kasus dapat memenuhi fungsi home sampai dengan hierarkinya yang tertinggi, yaitu sebagai pengaktualisasian diri, karena ada kalanya TPA-TPA tersebut hanya suatu home yang memenuhi kebutuhan mendasar saja. Pemenuhan kebutuhan akan home bagi anak prasekolah ini membutuhkan pengetahuan yang cukup dan menyeluruh dengan disertai definisi yang jelas mengenai peruntukan dan fungsinya, yang disertai dengan pengelolaan yang menunjang fungsi TPA sebagai home bagi anak prasekolah.

Home for preschool children is not only a shelter where their basic needs are fulfilled but also a place where their developmental needs can be met. Taman Penitipan Anak (TPA) - or day care center - should be able to function as a home for preschool children. The purpose of this writing is to examine to what extent the function of home for preschool children is fulfilled. It becomes necessary to know exactly the meaning of home and the elements that create a home; the charactercisics of preschool children, including the development and needs in that period; and some design guidelines for good physical environment, in this case, of day care center.

Based on the analysis of case study on three TPAs in offices through observation and personal interview methods, a conclusion is obtained that not all of the case study objects can fulfill the highest function of home, that is self- actualization; sometimes TPA only fulfills the basis needs of preschool children. The fulfillment of the functions of home for preschool children need a whole knowledge on the clear definition of TPA's purpose and function, and also the design and management of the physical elements that support the function of TPA as a home for preschool children."

"ABSTRAKObesity has become a significant public health problem of the twenty first century. An increasing number of preschoolchildren are becoming overweight. Although many risk factors have been identified for school-age children, less isknown about this young age group. This study was aimed to determine factors associated with overweight amongpreschool children. Study design was a cross sectional survey. Sample in this study was 90 children aged 3?6 years oldin Bina Putik Kindergarten School in Cempaka Putih District (total sampling). The prevalence of overweight andobesity in this sample were 24.4% and 13.3% respectively. There were significant relationships between overweightand some variables using chi-square test such as: age of the children, having overweight parents, nutritional knowledgeof the mother, duration of breast feeding, frequency of fast food consumption (p < 0.05). In Cox Regression analysis,only the age of children and nutritional knowledge of mothers were found as determinant factors influencing childhoodoverweight after adjusting other variables. Younger aged children (<5 years) had a greater risk of being overweight thanolder children (>5 years old). It could be concluded that mother?s knowledge on nutrition played an important role inpreventing overweight children. Suggested recommendation in order to prevent overweight since childhood was byincreasing mother?s knowledge through optimizing relevant programs in the Puskesmas.Faktor-faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Kelebihan Berat Badan pada Anak Usia Taman Kanak Kanak.Obesitas menjadi masalah kesehatan umum yang signifikan dari abad kedua puluh. Nampak terjadi peningkatan jumlahanak-anak prasekolah yang memilki kelebihan berat badan. Walaupun telah banyak diidentifikasi faktor risiko yang adauntuk anak-anak usia sekolah, masih sedikit yang diketahui tentang kelompok usia muda ini. Penelitian ini bertujuanuntuk menentukan faktor-faktor yang terkait dengan kelebihan berat badan di kalangan anak-anak prasekolah. Modelpenelitian ini adalah melalui survei penampang silang. Sampel dalam studi ini adalah 90 anak berusia 3 sampai 6 tahundi Taman Kanak Kanak Bina Putik di daerah Cempaka Putih (total sampel). Prevalensi kegemukan dan obesitas dalamcontoh ini masing-masing adalah 24,4% dan 13,3%. Ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kelebihan berat badan danbeberapa variabel yang menggunakan tes Chi-kuadrat seperti: usia anak-anak, memiliki orangtua yang kelebihan beratbadan, pengetahuan ibu tentang gizi, durasi menyusui, frekuensi konsumsi makanan cepat saji (p < 0,05). Dalamanalisis regresi Cox, hanya usia anak dan pengetahuan gizi ibu ditemukan sebagai faktor-faktor penentu yangmempengaruhi anak-anak yang kelebihan berat badan setelah menyesuaikan variabel-variabel lainnya. Anak-anak usiamuda (<5 tahun) memiliki risiko yang lebih besar daripada anak-anak lebih tua (>5 tahun). Dapat disimpulkan bahwapengetahuan ibu tentang gizi memainkan peranan penting dalam mencegah anak-anak kelebihan berat badan.Rekomendasi yang disarankan untuk mencegah kelebihan berat badan sejak masa kanak-kanak adalah denganmeningkatkan pengetahuan ibu melalui optimalisasi program-program yang terkait di Puskesmas."

"Mengompol (enuresis) merupakan salah satu jenis gangguan pola eliminasi yang sering ditemukan pada anak-anak. Keadaan ini dapat menimbulkan masalah bagi anak, orangtua, keluarga, maupun petugas kesehatan yang menanganinya (Suwardi, 1990). Sehubungan dengan hal tersebut maka penelitian berupaya mengidentifikasi hubungan pola asuh orangtua terhadap perilaku mengompol pada anak usia pea sekolah. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di RW 012, Kelurahan Kemiri Muka, Depok dan merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan rancangan deskriptif korelasi. Jumlah responden 40 orang yang terdiri dari orangtua dengan anak usia 3-5 tahun. Cara pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purpose sampling dengan menggunakan alat ukur kuesioner. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah distribusi frekuensi clan Chi square untuk menganalisis hubungan antar variabel. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyimpulkan tidak ada hubungan yang bermakna antara jenis pola asuh orangtua dengan anak usia pra sekolah terhadap perilaku mengompol (p value = 0.892, α=0.005). Tidak ada perbedaan yang bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan orangtua terkait tugas perkembangan anak usia pra sekolah dengan perilaku mengompol (p value = 0.301, α=0.005). Saran bagi penelitian selanjutnya adalah perlu dikembangkannya penelitian tentang kebiasaan mengompol (enuresis) pada anak Indonesia dengan catatan wilayah observasi diperluas dan disertai instrumen penelitian yang lebih spesifik (misal : pemeriksaan urin, wawaneara, kultur urin dan pemeriksaan radiologis)."

"Salah satu tugas perkembangan pada masa prasekolah adalah berkembangnya kemampuan motorik kasar anak. Pada saat ini tubuh anak berkembang pesat, terutama perkernbangan otot-otot besar yang memungkinkan perkembangan motorik kasarnya. Anak juga sangat aktif dan energik, sehingga membutuhkan latihan kegiatan motorik kasar. Kemampuan motorik kasar ini memiliki hubungan yang erat dengan perkembangan kognitif, emosi dan sosial pada anak. Pentingnya perkembangan motorik kasar sudah menjadi perhatian para pendidik sejak lama. Sayangnya, di Indonesia, perkembangan motorik kasar anak prasekolah belum mendapat perhatian yang sesuai. Penelitian pada 212 Taman Kanak-kanak (TK) di DKI Jakarta pada tahun 2002, ditemukan bahwa hanya 57,3 % sekolah yang memberi kesempatan bagi murid untuk melakukan kegiatan motorik kasar. Program Pendidikan Rumah Bagi Orangtua Dalam Mengembangkan Motorik Kasar Anak Prasekolah ini disusun sebagai alternatif pendidikan untuk anak prasekolah. Pada masa prasekolah anak tidak harus mengikuti pendidikan di sekolah atau institusi tertentu di luar rumah. Kebutuhan anak adalah memperoleh Stimulasi yang kaya dan beragam, sehingga dapat mengembangkan dirinya dengan optimal. Stimulasi tersebut dapat diberikan sendiri oleh orangtua rnelalui pendidikan rumah. Dengan peran aktif orangtua sebagai guru di rumah dapat terjalin hubungan yang lebih akrab antara anak dengan orangtua. Dengan demikian, program ini disusun agar anak dapat mencapai perkembangan motorik kasar yang optimal. Program ini menggunakan teori perkembangan motorik dari Gallahue dan Ozmun yang dirangkum dengan teori-teori dari ahli-ahli lainnya, seperti Berk, Miller dan Feldman. Perkembangan motorik kasar disebut juga perkembangan gerak, dibagi menjadi tiga aspek, yaitu stabilitas, lokomosi dan manipulasi. Masing-masing aspek terdiri dari beberapa kemampuan yang nantinya akan dilatihkan pada anak. Di dalam program ini terdapat kegiatan-kegiatan yang sederhana, material yang mudah didapat Serta tujuan pembelajaran yang jelas, sehingga aplikatif untuk digunakan oleh orangtua. Untuk penyempurnaan program ini selanjutnya dapat dilakukan dengan uji coba di lapangan serta evaluasi. Perbaikan terhadap hasil evaluasi akan menghasilkan program baru yang telah teruji. Kemudian diberikan pelatihan untuk orangtua."

"[ABSTRAKPerilaku prososial merupakan modal penting untuk berhasil beradaptasi dalam kehidupan sosial (Berns, 2010). Keikutsertaan dalam kegiatan taman kanak-kanak memperluas mikrosistem anak dan menuntut pengembangan perilaku sosial sesuai dengan situasi sosial yang berbeda dan lebih luas. Upaya sistematik perlu dilakukan di tingkat prasekolah untuk memastikan bahwa perilaku prososial berkembang sesuai dengan harapan. Upaya menumbuhkembangkan tingkah laku prososial pernah dilakukan dengan menerapkan berbagai metode, antara lain, bermain peran, bermain konstruktif, pembacaan cerita dan metode bercerita shared reading. Metode shared reading dengan komponen membacakan cerita (C), berdiskusi (D) mengenai isi cerita serta mempraktekkan langsung informasi yang terdapat dalam isi cerita (K) akan diterapkan dalam Program Cerita Prososial Aktif rancangan peneliti. Efektivitas program cerita prososial aktif yang secara konseptual merupakan implementasi dari metode shared reading, akan diuji melalui penelitian eksperimental yang berdesain before-and-after . Partisipan berjumlah 20 murid taman kanak-kanak berusia antara 4-5 tahun. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 1 kelompok eksperimen (CDK) yang diintervensi dengan metode shared reading dan 3 kelompok kontrol berturut-turut: kelompok CD, C dan CG. Kelompok CD diintervensi dengan cerita dan diskusi, kelompok C dibacakan cerita oleh peneliti dan CG dibacakan cerita oleh guru murid-murid tersebut. Dilakukan intervensi selama 15 sesi. Perilaku prososial diukur melalui observasi terhadap 15 item senarai tingkah laku prososial. Program Cerita Prososial Aktif yang menggunakan metode shared reading ternyata efektif meningkatkan tingkah laku prososial anak prasekolah secara signifikan (Z=-2.032) setelah dilakukan 5 sesi intervensi dan tingkahlaku prososial secara konsisten terus meningkat frekuensinya sampai penelitian berakhir. Metode bercerita tanpa diskusi dan kegiatan efektivitasnya paling rendah.

ABSTRACTAdaptation to social interactions in a larger social environment is determined by individual?s prosocial behavior (Berns, 2010). With their expanding microsystem prosocial behavior of preschool children need to be develop accordingly, to establish and enhance the repertoire learned in their home environment. Various methods had been implemented in the enterprises of developing prosocial behavior of preschool children i.e.. role play, constructive play, story reading and shared reading. Cerita Prososial Aktif (CPA) that implements shared reading method presumably more effectively increases prosocial behavior considering that the prosocial story reading (C) is complemented with discussion (D) and relevant activities (K) for the children to apply prosocial behavior. With the before and after experimental design, this study aims at comparing the effectiveness of shared reading (CDK) method against active story telling (CD) and story telling without discussion(C). Prosocial behavior was measured by observation using prosocial behavior checklist consisits of 15 items. After 5 sessions the experimental gourp (CDK) showed significantly higher increase of prosocial behavior, while the other 3 control groups: treated with story and discussion (CD), C (story telling by investigator) and story telling by teacher (CG) showed no significant increases. After 15 sessions CDK group showed highest increase compared to CD, C or CG groups. Significant increase of prosocial behavior was achieved after 15 sessions of listening to prosocial story without discussiion and relevant activities, with the lowest size compared to CDK and CD groups.;Adaptation to social interactions in a larger social environment is determined by individual?s prosocial behavior (Berns, 2010).
