PENGARUH PERMAINAN LOMPAT TALI TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN MOTORIK KASAR ANAK USIA 3-4 TAHUN

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Gross motor development is an important aspect of early childhood education because it supports children's ability to perform fundamental movements, maintain balance, and coordinate their bodies. However, stimulation through traditional games for children aged 3–4 years needs to be examined according to the context and developmental characteristics of children. This research is important to provide an overview of alternative play activities that are simple, enjoyable, and applicable by educators. This study aimed to describe the implementation of rope-jumping games, examine children's gross motor development, and analyze score changes before and after the intervention in Group B of Shaffana Buah Batu Playgroup, Bandung City. The study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample consisted of 13 children, including 8 girls and 5 boys, selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using a gross motor development assessment instrument and analyzed descriptively based on mean scores and category distributions. The results showed that the mean score increased from 11.76 at pretest to 14.30 at posttest, a difference of 2.54 points. After the intervention, 9 children (69.23%) were classified in the high category and 4 children (30.77%) in the moderate category. Descriptively, rope-jumping games have the potential to serve as an alternative for stimulating gross motor development, although the statistical significance of the change cannot be established without inferential testing.

ABSTRAK

Perkembangan motorik kasar merupakan aspek penting dalam pendidikan anak usia dini karena mendukung kemampuan anak melakukan gerakan dasar, menjaga keseimbangan, dan mengoordinasikan tubuh. Namun, stimulasi melalui permainan tradisional pada anak usia 3–4 tahun perlu dikaji sesuai konteks dan karakteristik perkembangan anak. Kajian ini penting untuk memberikan gambaran mengenai alternatif kegiatan bermain yang sederhana, menyenangkan, dan dapat diterapkan oleh pendidik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan pelaksanaan permainan lompat tali, menggambarkan perkembangan motorik kasar anak, serta menganalisis perubahan skor sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan di Kelompok B Playgroup Shaffana Buah Batu, Kota Bandung. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode pre-eksperimental dan desain One Group Pretest-Posttest. Sampel terdiri atas 13 anak, yaitu 8 perempuan dan 5 laki-laki, yang dipilih melalui teknik sampling jenuh. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan instrumen penilaian perkembangan motorik kasar dan dianalisis secara deskriptif berdasarkan nilai rata-rata serta distribusi kategori. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor meningkat dari 11,76 pada pretest menjadi 14,30 pada posttest, dengan selisih 2,54 poin. Setelah perlakuan, 9 anak (69,23%) berada pada kategori tinggi dan 4 anak (30,77%) pada kategori sedang. Secara deskriptif, permainan lompat tali berpotensi menjadi alternatif stimulasi motorik kasar, meskipun signifikansi perubahan belum dapat dipastikan tanpa uji inferensial.
