UPAYA MENINGKATKAN MOTORIK KASAR MELALUI PERMAINAN TRADISIONAL LOMPAT TALI PADA SISWA KELAS II SDN 3 KEBAYAKAN ACEH TENGAH

Abstract

Based on the results of initial observations at SD Negeri 3 Kebayakan the gross motor skills of young children still appear to be low in terms of jumping, running and so on. This shows that the gross motor skills (strength and balance) of class II students have not developed optimally. Children tend to be less active in participating in learning activities in class. In response to this, a game is needed that can improve the gross motor skills of young children through the traditional game of jumping rope which is increasingly being abandoned. Therefore, this study aims to determine the improvement in gross motor skills of class II students at SD Negeri 3 Kebayakan, before and after participating in the traditional game of rope jumping. This study uses a quantitative approach. This type of research is experimental. The sample for this research was 28 class II students. Data collection techniques were carried out using pre-test, treatment and post-test. Data analysis uses the average formula and frequency distribution. Based on the results of data processing, it is known that the traditional game of jumping rope can improve the gross motor skills of class II students at SD Negeri 3 Kebayakan. Where the average pre-test balance score was 2 in the fair category, rising to 3 in the good category. The average pre-test agility score was 2 in the fair category, rising to 3 in the good category. Likewise, the average pre-test speed score was 2 in the sufficient category, rising to 3 in the post-test in the good category.
