The Effect of Manipulative Games to Improve Fundamental Motor Skills in Elementary School Students
International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, v10 n1 p24-37 2022
This study aims to improve fundamental motor skill skills by using manipulative games. The method used in this study was experimental using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted by applying manipulative games in physical education learning. To measure and find out the results of the data obtained by researchers using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) software. The sample in this study was elementary school students with a total of 30 students. Random sampling with random sampling technique. The data collection technique in this study used a gross motor skill-second edition test which was analyzed using quantitative descriptions and different tests. The research results showed an increase in the fundamental motor skills of elementary school students through manipulative games; this was because manipulative games were able to stimulate students to be active in carrying out fundamental motor skills and fun activities for students. The conclusion in this study is that there is a significant effect of manipulative games on the fundamental motor skill of elementary school students.
