Abstract

This development research was motivated by the challenges faced by Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning at Salumoni Elementary School, which is still dominated by conventional models based on direct instruction and drills. This approach leads to low learning motivation and student engagement, as well as suboptimal mastery of basic locomotor movements, particularly walking, running, and jumping. Therefore, this study aims to develop a valid, practical, and effective LALOJU (Run, Jump, Champion) game model to improve basic locomotor skills in elementary school students. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method, adopting the 4D model (Define, Design, Development, Dissemination). The product developed is a LALOJU Game Model Guidebook, which consists of four types of games: Diamond Kangaroo, Animal Racing, Safety Pole, and Life Ball. These games are designed based on the principles of learning by playing and are developmentally appropriate. The research subjects included material experts, media experts, and practitioners (PJOK teachers), as well as students at SD Inpres Salumoni in small-scale trials (25 first-grade students) and large-scale trials (32 third-grade students). Validation results showed that the product received a very good/suitable for use category from media experts (94.23%) and practitioners (96.15%), and a good/suitable for use category from material experts (88.46%). The large-scale trial also showed a good/suitable for use category with a percentage of 89.06%. These findings indicate that the LALOJU game model meets the criteria for validity, practicality, and effectiveness and is capable of improving the quality of PJOK learning through active, enjoyable, and meaningful basic locomotor movement learning experiences for elementary school students.
