Abstract

Purpose of the study: Numeracy is a foundational cognitive skill for young children that underpins subsequent academic achievement. However, conventional rote-based instruction methods have proven ineffective in fostering genuine number sense in early childhood settings. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether dough play activities could improve the numeracy skills of 4–5-year-old children at TK Al-Muhadjirin 2, East Bekasi, Indonesia. Materials and methods: A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was employed across two cycles (10 sessions total), involving 12 children aged 4–5 years. Numeracy performance was assessed using structured observation instruments covering number concept, number symbol recognition, number sequencing, number matching, number-to-object correspondence, and numeral writing. Data were analyzed using percentage calculations and qualitative thematic analysis. Results: Mean numeracy scores improved from 54% (pre-intervention) to 74% at end of Cycle I, and to 82% at end of Cycle II, exceeding the predetermined success threshold of 71%. All 12 participants demonstrated measurable improvement across all assessed numeracy indicators. Conclusions: Dough play activities constitute a developmentally appropriate, multisensory pedagogical intervention that significantly enhances numeracy competence in early childhood. The tactile-kinesthetic engagement afforded by dough manipulation supports concrete understanding of number concepts, facilitating the transition from enactive to symbolic mathematical reasoning.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This systematic literature review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sports massage interventions on physiological recovery parameters among undergraduate students engaged in physical activities and sports training. Materials and methods: A systematic search was conducted across four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) from January 2015 to December 2024. Studies examining sports massage effects on physiological recovery markers in undergraduate students were included. The PRISMA guidelines were followed for study selection and data extraction. Quality assessment was performed using the PEDro scale for randomized controlled trials and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies. Results: Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, encompassing 847 undergraduate student participants (mean age: 20.8 ± 2.3 years). Sports massage interventions demonstrated significant improvements in multiple physiological parameters: reduced muscle soreness (standardized mean difference [SMD] = -1.24; 95% CI: -1.67 to -0.81), decreased blood lactate concentration (SMD = -0.89; 95% CI: -1.23 to -0.55), improved heart rate recovery (SMD = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.43 to 1.09), enhanced range of motion (SMD = 1.12; 95% CI: 0.78 to 1.46), and accelerated muscle strength recovery (SMD = 0.68; 95% CI: 0.34 to 1.02). Massage duration of 15-30 minutes showed optimal effects, with Swedish and sports-specific massage techniques demonstrating superior outcomes. Conclusions: Sports massage represents an effective non-pharmacological intervention for enhancing physiological recovery in undergraduate student athletes. The evidence supports its integration into training and competition protocols to optimize performance and reduce injury risk. Future research should investigate long-term effects and comparative effectiveness of different massage modalities.
