<![CDATA[This classroom action research aimed to improve the gross motor skills of fifth-grade elementary school students through creative gymnastics in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning. The study involved 30 fifth-grade students of SDN 69 Kota Tengah, Gorontalo City, consisting of 20 boys and 10 girls. The research was conducted in two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection. Gross motor skills were assessed through four indicators: balance, coordination, agility, and strength, while student activity was documented through structured observation. The mean gross motor skill score increased from 61.50 in the initial condition to 70.25 in Cycle I and 82.75 in Cycle II. Based on the corrected calculation, mastery in Cycle I was 66.67% (20 of 30 students), while mastery in Cycle II reached 90.00% (27 of 30 students). Student activity increased from 67.83% in Cycle I to 89.83% in Cycle II. The findings indicate an improvement in gross motor performance and classroom participation following the implementation of creative gymnastics. Because this study used a classroom action research design without a control group, the findings are interpreted as evidence of improvement within the investigated classroom context rather than as definitive causal evidence applicable to other populations.]]>
