Development Approach

This study aims to develop media ludo geometry (DORI) in children in Kiddie Care PAUD, due to the low ability of children to perform gross motor skills. This study uses a research and development approach. While the development model used is the Research & Development (R&D) development model according to Borg & Gall. The results of this study are the development of DORI media (Ludo Geometry), there are several aspects that arise besides physical activity, namely cognitive where children are required to think creatively, express ideas in their minds, on social aspects children mutually interact and discuss in search of strategies games, and in the language aspect of students or children become skilled in communication and dialogue, other results such as children feel the game using this DORI media such as sports while playing, and playing while learning. Conclusion that gross motor skills of early childhood are able to develop well in cognitive, social emotional and language aspects by using Ludo Geometry media.

Gross Motor Skill

Purpose. The purpose of this research was to collect data to inform intervention strategies to optimise body composition in South African preschool children.Methods. Data were collected in urban and rural settings. Weight status, physical activity, and gross motor skill assessments were conducted with 341 3–6-year-old children, and 55 teachers and parents/caregivers participated in focus groups.Results. Overweight and obesity were a concern in low-income urban settings (14%), but levels of physical activity and gross motor skills were adequate across all settings. Focus group findings from urban and rural settings indicated that teachers would welcome input on leading activities to promote physical activity and gross motor skill development. Teachers and parents/caregivers were also positive about young children being physically active. Recommendations for potential intervention strategies include a teacher-training component, parent/child activity mornings, and a home-based component for parents/caregivers.Conclusion. The findings suggest that an intervention focussed on increasing physical activity and improving gross motor skills per se is largely not required but that contextually relevant physical activity and gross motor skills may still be useful for promoting healthy weight and a vehicle for engaging with teachers and parents/caregivers for promoting other child outcomes, such as cognitive development.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia dini sebelum dan setelah diterapkan permainan tradisional makdanda serta mengetahui peningkatan kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia dini setelah diterapkan permainan tradisional makdanda pada peserta didik Taman Kanak-Kanak Rahmat Kabupaten Gowa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pra eksperimen dengan desain One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Sampel diperoleh dari seluruh populasi yang ada sebesar 20 anak. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui teknik observasi dan dokumentasi yang kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji N-Gain untuk melihat peningkatan kemampuan motorik kasar peserta didik. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian hipotesis  menggunakan uji beda Wilcoxon menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh kemampuan motorik kasar anak usia dini di taman kanak-kanak rahmat Kabupaten Gowa dengan menggunakan permainan tradisional makdanda. Adapun tabel nilai Thitung yang diperoleh yaitu 102 dan Ttabel yaitu 21 maka diperoleh hasil Thitung (102) > Ttabel (21), H1 diterima dan H0 ditolak yang artinya ada pengaruh permainan tradisional makdanda terhadap kemampuan motorik kasar anak sedangkan nilai Zhitung  yang diperoleh yaitu 3,1 dan Ztabel yaitu 1,645 maka diperoleh hasil Zhitung (3,1) > Ztabel  (1,645), H1 diterima H0 ditolak yang artinya ada pengaruh permainan tradisional terhadap kemampuan motorik kasar. Kata kunci: Permainan Tradisional Makdanda, Kemampuan Motorik Kasar.  The purpose of this study was tu describe the gross motoric abillities of early childhood before and after the application of traditional game makdanda and to know the improvement in groos motoric skill of early childhood after the application of traditional games makdanda to Rahmat District Kindergarten Gowa. This study was a pre-ekperiment with design of One Group Pretest-Posttes Design. Samples were obtained from the entire population is 20 children. Data collction is done through observation techniques which are then analyzed using the N-gain test to see students gross motor skills improve. Based on the result of testing the hyppothesis using a different test Wilcoxon show that there is an influence of gross motor skills of early shildhood in gowa distric by using traditional games makdanda. As for the calculated Tvalue which is 102 and Ttable is 21, there result are obtained Tvalue (102) > Ttable (21), H1 accepted and H0 rejected which means that there is an infulence of traditional games makdanda on the gross motoric Skill of children while the calculated Zvalue obtained are 3,1 and Ztable which are 1,645, whic is obtained Zvalue (3,1) > Ztable (1,645), H1 accepted and H0 rejected which means that there is an infulence of traditional games makdanda on the gross motoric Skill of children. Key words: Traditional Games Makdanda, Gross Motoric Skill

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to empirically test a comprehensive conceptual model linking gross motor skills, school day physical activity and health-related variables in a sample of sixth graders. Participants were a convenience sample of 84 sixth grade students (Mean age = 11.6 ± 0.6 years). Gross motor skills were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-3rd Edition (TGMD-3), school day physical activity was assessed using pedometers, health-related fitness was assessed using Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) laps, perceived competence assessed using a validated questionnaire and the health-related outcome was assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI). The relationship between school day step counts and TGMD-3 scores was mediated through both perceived competence and PACER laps (p = 0.015) and the direct path coefficient between TGMD-3 scores and BMI was statistically significant (b = −0.22 kg/m2, p < 0.001). Overall there was good model fit with all indices meeting acceptable criteria (χ2 = 3.7, p = 0.293; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) = 0.062, 90% Confidence Interval (C.I.): 0.00–0.23; Comparative Fit Index (CFI) = 0.98; Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) = 0.96; Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) = 0.052). The comprehensive conceptual model explaining the inter-relationships among motor competence and health-related variables was empirically validated with the relationship between physical activity and gross motor skills mediated through both perceived competence and cardiorespiratory endurance in a sample of sixth graders.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between gross motor skills and school day steps per minute, testing various motivational constructs as potential mediators. A convenience sample of 66 sixth-grade children (mean age = 11.6 ± 0.5 years; 30 boys, 36 girls) were recruited from one public “Zoom” school. Gross motor skills were assessed using the Test for Gross Motor Development-3rd Edition. Motivational constructs were assessed using a series of validated questionnaires. Children wore a pedometer for one school week. A bootstrap mediation analysis was employed using gross motor skills scores as the predictor variable and steps per minute as the outcome variable; the motivational constructs consisted of perceived competence, enjoyment, and self-efficacy as potential mediators. The results from a bootstrap mediation analysis yielded a statistically significant average causal mediation effect (ACME) using perceived competence as the mediator (ACME = 0.022, 95% CI [0.001, 0.054], p = .018). Perceived competence mediated 30.8% of the total effect between gross motor skill scores and steps per minute, with the entire model explaining approximately 13.6% of the variance. The relationship between gross motor skills and school day physical activity may be mediated through perceived competence in sixth-grade children.
