Stimulasi Motorik Kasar Anak Usia 5-6 Tahun Melalui Outbound Edukatif Di Tk Anisah Rahma

Abstract

Early childhood development encompasses several essential domains, including gross motor development, which is fundamental to children’s physical competence, coordination, and readiness for subsequent educational stages. This study was conducted at TK Anisah Rahma and aimed to examine the implementation of educational outbound activities as a strategy for stimulating gross motor skills in children aged 5–6 years. The research focused on the planning, implementation, and evaluation of outbound-based learning activities. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation involving classroom teachers as primary informants, supported by two teachers and the school principal. Data credibility was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that educational outbound activities are systematically integrated into the curriculum and instructional modules and implemented through structured physical activities such as balance walking, obstacle jumping, running, and ball games. Authentic assessment indicates improvements in children’s gross motor abilities, self-confidence, and active participation. The study concludes that educational outbound learning constitutes an effective and meaningful approach to enhancing gross motor development in early childhood.
