Pengembangan Permainan Kid Maps berbasis Unplugged Coding terhadap Keterampilan Motorik Kasar Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun di TK Labschool UNESA 1

Development of Kid Maps Game based Unplugged Coding for Gross Motor Skills on 5-6 Year Old Children at Labschool UNESA 1 Kindergarten

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan permainan berjudul Kid Maps berbasis Unplugged coding sebagai dukungan dalam meningkatkan keterampilan motorik kasar anak usia 5-6 tahun di TK Labschool UNESA 1. Kurangnya keterampilan motorik kasar anak usia 5-6 tahun saat mendengar dan melaksanakan instruksi kompleks. Oleh karena itu, permainan yang diintegrasikan dengan aktivitas untuk meningkatkan minat dan keterampilan anak dikembangkan menjadi sebuah media pendukung. Model penelitian ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) melewati proses validasi dari ahli mengenai konten materi dan kelayakan media. Dilakukan uji coba terhadap media yang dikembangan sebagai permainan dan penliaian terhadap tumbuh kembang keterampilan motorik kasar anak usia 5-6 tahun. Implementasi permainan dilakukan selama 2 minggu dari pre-test hingga post-test selesai yang melibatkan 12 subjek penelitian 1 kelompok. Pengolahan data dilakukan dengan T-test yang menghasilkan nilai signifikansi < 0.001 dengan skor rata-rata N-Gain 68,95% mengartikan hasil penelitian yang terdapat perubahan secara signifikan. Kendala yang ditemukan selama penelitian berlangsung yakni fokus anak yang tidak lebih dari 15 menit untuk mendengarkan penjelasan dan perintah yang diberikan. Kesimpulannya, permainan Kid Maps terbukti efektif dan praktis terhadap upaya meningkatkan keterampilan motorik kasar anak usia 5-6 tahun. Penggunaannya menjadi media pendukung para guru untuk meningkatkan semangat anak untuk bermain sambil belajar terutama dalam peningkatan kemampuan koordinasi motorik kasar dan kognitif anak.

This study aims to develop a game titled “Kid Maps” based on Unplugged coding as a support tool to improve gross motor skills in children aged 5–6 years at TK Labschool UNESA 1. The background of this study is the lack of gross motor skills among children aged 5–6 years, particularly in listening to and carrying out complex instructions. Therefore, a game integrated with activities designed to enhance children’s interest and skills was developed as a supporting medium. The research employed the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and went through a validation process by experts regarding the content and feasibility of the media. Trials were conducted on the developed game media, and assessments were made on the growth and development of the children’s gross motor skills. The implementation of the game was carried out over two weeks, from pre-test to post-test, involving 12 research subjects from one class. Data analysis using a T-test produced a significance value of < 0.001 with an average N-Gain score of 68.95%, indicating a significant improvement. The main challenge found during the study was the children’s limited attention span, which did not exceed 15 minutes for listening to explanations and instructions. In conclusion, the Kid Maps game proved to be effective and practical in improving the gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 years. Its use serves as a supportive medium for teachers to encourage children to learn through play, particularly in enhancing their gross motor coordination and cognitive abilities.
