Peningkatan Motorik Kasar Melalui Permainan Ucak Inovatif

Abstract

Learning was more focused on fine motor development, while gross motor learning received less attention and teaching methods related to gross motor skills in children were carried out monotonously which made children bored with the activity. This study aims to determine the improvement of children's gross motor skills through innovative ucak games at Taman Kanak-kanak Harapan Bunda Kecamatan Talawi Kota Sawahlunto. The type of research used was Classroom Action Research (CAR). The subjects in this study were children at Taman Kanak-kanak Harapan Bunda Kecamatan Talawi Kota Sawahlunto. The study was conducted in a class with 10 students. This study was carried out in several cycles consisting of four main stages: planning, implementing actions, observation, and reflection.
