Pengaruh Penerapan Seni Bela Diri Tapak Suci terhadap Keterampilan Fisik Motorik Kasar Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun di TK ABA II Sumbersari Jember

Abstract

this study aimed to determine the effect of the implementation of Tapak Suci martial arts on the gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 years at TK ABA II Sumbersari Jember. This research employed a quantitative approach using an ex post facto design. The population consisted of all children aged 5–6 years at TK ABA II Sumbersari Jember, and the sample was selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through observation and documentation. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing, simple linear regression, and hypothesistestingusingSPSS. The results showed that the data were normally distributed. However, the simple linear regression analysis indicated that the implementation of Tapak Suci martial arts did not have a statistically significant effect on the gross motor skills of children aged 5–6 years, as evidenced by a significance value (Sig.) greater than 0.05. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was rejected, and the null hypothesis (H₀) was accepted. These findings suggest that the implementation of Tapak Suci martial arts was not a significant factor influencing children's gross motor skills. Other factors, such as age, physical activity, nutritional status, and environmental support, may have contributed to the development of gross motor skills.
