Abstract


Abstract: This study developed an integrated assessment instrument for evaluating gross motor, fine motor, and cognitive skills in children aged 4-6 years. Using Research and Development (R&D) methodology, the tool was validated with 25 early childhood educators. Content validity was confirmed via Aiken's V analysis (V ≥ 0.75), while Rasch analysis demonstrated good item fit (MNSQ 0.5-1.5) and high reliability (α = 0.89). The instrument effectively identifies developmental milestones through play-based activities, addressing the need for holistic evaluation in early childhood education. The practical, culturally-adapted tool enables teachers to systematically assess children and design targeted interventions, bridging the gap between theory and classroom practice.
