Improving Early Childhood Motor Skills Through Stimulating Varied Games

Abstract

In general, the purpose of this study is to improve students' basic movement learning outcomes through game stimulation in basic movement learning (walking, running and jumping) for Bunda Anih Ismail Jakarta Kindergarten students. In addition, this study was conducted to obtain in-depth information about the application of learning models with various game variation stimulation models. This study uses the Action Research method. The subjects in this study were 22 kindergarten students. This study was conducted with six meetings consisting of two cycles, each cycle 3 meetings. The first cycle, which was realised through actions, gave results to students; the results were that the average value of students in basic movement learning (walking, running and jumping) was 61.59 or 61%. The second cycle, which was realised through actions, the results of reflection from cycle 1 gave results to students with an average result of 75.09 or 75%, and had reached and even exceeded the set learning completion standards. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that: With the application of the game variation stimulation model, students' basic movement learning outcomes increased and motivated students to be active in participating in the learning process.
