The Influence of Motor Development in Primary School Age Children in the Learning Process

Abstract

Abstract from the journal The Influence of Motor Development in Elementary School Age Children in the Learning Process. This research aims to understand the influence of motor development in elementary school age children in the learning process. Through this research, researchers want to know the physical motoric development of students and the learning process that takes place in the classroom so that it can produce students who are active, diligent and enthusiastic. This research was conducted in an elementary school in Indonesia. The results of the research show that in the learning process, it can be seen that all students have different physical motor development and this development continues and changes according to the students' learning activities. Students who have good physical motor development are able to control themselves to carry out well- coordinated body movements. This research shows that understanding the physical motor development of elementary school age children can provide great benefits in education. Teachers need to pay attention to students' physical-motor differences in planning learning. By understanding the stages of physical motor development of students, teachers can prepare lesson materials that suit their development. This will increase effectiveness and efficiency in the learning process. In this research, it was also found that there were students who made body movements that indicated understanding of the lessons given. Some students also actively ask the teacher. This shows that students who have good physical motor development also have high motivation and involvement in the learning process. In conclusion, this research shows that the motor development of elementary school age children has a significant influence on the learning process. Understanding students' physical motor development can help teachers plan learning that suits students' needs and development.
