The Influence of Play and Conventional Approaches on the Basic Movements of Children Aged 9-10 Years

Abstract

This research was conducted on the basis of the low level of basic movement skills of children aged 9-10 years. It is thought that many factors influence other game approaches, conventional and physical fitness. This research aims to determine the effect of play, conventional and physical fitness approaches on the basic movements of children aged 9-10 years. This type of research is a quasi-experiment with a sample size of 40 people divided into two groups using ordinally meat pairing, 20 experimental people and 20 control people. Basic movement skills are obtained with the TGMD-2 test which consists of locomotor movements and object control. Data were analyzed using the t-test technique. The results of research and data analysis show that children who use a play approach are better than conventional children, as seen from their basic movement skills and physical fitness, sig 0.000<0.05. Compared with the traditional playing method approach, basic movement abilities are compared with students who use the playing approach having higher basic movement abilities. So the play approach is suitable for children aged 9-10 years. Because there are differences in the basic movement skills of children who use play methods and conventional methods, teachers need to design learning models. We understand that teaching movement skills to children is the same as educating them to live an active lifestyle. Apart from that, providing children with an understanding of movement also helps increase their self-confidence when interacting with the environment.
