Development of Teaching Model Through Circuit Game To Increasing Children's Gross Motor Ability

摘要

This research aims to: (1) produce a gross motor teaching model through circuit game, (2) to know the effectiveness of application of teaching model through circuit game to increasing the gross motor skills of children aged 4-5 years. This development study refers to Borg & Gall's steps that simplify 10 development steps into 3 main parts: (1) Introduction Study, (2) Product Development Phase, and (3) Product Test Stage. Validation of products is done by material experts and media experts. The subjects used for the limited test were 14 children, for a field trial of 27 children and the effectiveness test of 40 children. Instrument of data collection using questionnaire validation of media expert, material expert validation, response questionnaire and observation result. Data analysis technique of effectiveness test used nonparametric statistic wilcoxon. The results of research teaching model through circuit game has steps in which consist of pre-heating activities, heating activities, core activities, and end activities (cooling) and validation by experts and teachers. The development of the teaching model through circuit game was effective improving gross motor of the child, it is seen value of Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, it can be concluded that this model is effective to improve gross motor of children aged 4-5 years.
