Abstract

The development of self-confidence character in early childhood is a fundamental aspect of early education, as it influences children's social, emotional, and cognitive readiness. One potential learning approach is the modification of the jump rope game, designed in an enjoyable, adaptive manner and aligned with children’s developmental characteristics. This study aims to analyze trends, patterns, and the development of scientific studies related to the modification of the jump rope game in enhancing self-confidence character in early childhood through a bibliometric approach. This study employed a bibliometric analysis method by reviewing scientific articles indexed in relevant scholarly publication databases over a predetermined period of time. The data were analyzed using bibliometric software to map publication productivity, dominant keywords, author collaborations, and emerging research directions. The results indicate that research on traditional games and modified physical activities in early childhood education has shown an increasing trend, with primary focuses on character development, psychosocial aspects, and play-based learning. However, studies specifically linking the modification of the jump rope game to the enhancement of self-confidence character remain relatively limited, thus providing opportunities for further research. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the modification of the jump rope game has significant potential as a medium for strengthening self-confidence character in early childhood, and further empirical research is needed to reinforce the existing conceptual findings.
