Abstract


Kesiapan sekolah merupakan prasyarat penting agar anak mampu mengikuti tuntutan belajar formal pada awal pendidikan dasar. Studi ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan profil kesiapan sekolah anak usia 6–7 tahun berdasarkan Nijmegen School Readiness Test (NST) dalam konteks layanan tumbuh kembang anak. Penelitian menggunakan desain studi kasus deskriptif pada seorang anak laki-laki usia 6 tahun 10 bulan yang menjalani pemeriksaan NST di layanan tumbuh kembang. Data dikumpulkan melalui skor subtes NST dan observasi perilaku selama pelaksanaan tes. Selama sesi, anak menunjukkan kesulitan mempertahankan fokus, gerakan tubuh tidak stabil, serta ketidakmampuan memahami dan mengikuti instruksi sederhana. Pola respons dominan berupa mencoret hampir seluruh stimulus pada sebagian besar subtes, yang mengindikasikan rendahnya atensi, impulsivitas, dan lemahnya kesiapan pra-akademik-perseptual. Hasil psikogram menunjukkan skor sangat rendah pada hampir seluruh aspek, dengan total skor skala 14 dari 200. Profil ini menonjol pada kelemahan mengikuti instruksi, atensi dan konsentrasi, persepsi visual, pemahaman ukuran-jumlah-perbandingan, daya ingat fungsional, motorik halus, dan grafomotorik. Berdasarkan konsistensi performa subtes dan pola respons, anak dinyatakan belum siap mengikuti pembelajaran formal. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya asesmen kesiapan sekolah yang mengintegrasikan skor tes dan observasi perilaku untuk merancang intervensi pra-akademik, regulasi diri, serta stimulasi visual-motor sebelum transisi ke sekolah dasar.
