Abstract

This research is based on the problem of low problem-solving skills in early childhood, where children find it difficult to think, understand, and remember and are not able to solve their own problems. According to Weikart, exploration and problem solving are active ways for children to learn, which are considered important to help children become independent, make decisions, and be confident in facing new situations with problem solving. So this study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the outbound games learning method on the problem-solving skills of children aged 5-6 years. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pre-test post-test design. The research subjects consisted of 15 children at Bustanul Athfan Bulurokeng Kindergarten Group B who were selected from the research population using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through observation guidelines that measure three main aspects: recognizing problems, finding solutions, and evaluating results. The results showed a significant increase that can be seen from children's abilities in identifying problems, thinking critically, logically, and independently in solving problems after the implementation of outbound games. There was a difference in the average pre-test score of 28.73, increasing to 58.13 in the post-test with a p-value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). The implementation of outbound games has proven effective as an experience-based learning method to improve the problem-solving skills of early childhood, so it can be a relevant alternative for educators.

Abstract

The development of gross motor skills in early childhood currently faces challenges due to an increasing sedentary lifestyle and gadget dependency, which impact the weakening of children's balance and physical coordination. This study aims to analyze the effect of the obstacle jump game on improving the gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 years in kindergarten. The research method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of a pretest-posttest type without a control group. The research sample consisted of 20 children determined through a purposive sampling technique. Gross motor skills were measured through five main indicators, namely the ability to jump without assistance, running and jumping over obstacles, balance upon landing, movement coordination, as well as the children's courage and initiative. The intervention was carried out in a structured manner through six sessions of the obstacle jump game designed adaptively starting from the warming-up phase, gradual introduction of obstacles, to the cooling-down session. The data collection instrument was an observation sheet, while data analysis used the paired sample t-test assisted by SPSS version 23. The analysis results showed a t-value of 18.965 with a significance of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant increase in gross motor skills after the intervention was given. These findings indicate that the obstacle jump game is effective as a method of physical stimulation. This activity supports aspects of courage, body coordination, and children's active involvement in enjoyable physical activities, making it highly feasible to be integrated into early childhood education learning programs.
