Development of Basic Motion Learning Model to Develop Creative Thinking Ability Through Approach to Play in Elementary School

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of research and development of basic motion learning models to develop creative thinking skills through a play approach in elementary school is expected to develop creative thinking of elementary school students. Theoretical framework: Hendriana Sri Rejeki and Gunawan (2021: 218) state that there are four games for the learning model for basic locomotor jumping, namely: (a) rope jumping game (b) carpet jumping game (c) hurdles game (d) obstacle jumping game, basic motion learning model Locomotor jump with this simple game is effective in supporting the learning process of physical education, sports and health in third grade elementary schools. Design/methodology/approach: The research method used is Borg and Gall research and development. The subjects of this study were fifth grade elementary school students and four teachers at UPT Percut Sei Tuan. The research instrument uses a rating scale so that the basic movement learning model through a play approach is suitable for developing creative thinking skills of elementary school students. Findings: Teachers' lack of innovation and creativity in developing basic movement skills and creative thinking skills with basic movement learning models through a play approach playing is made in game forms that meet the needs of students is one of the fundamental flaws. Teachers of physical education frequently make use of established sports like soccer, baseball, volleyball, futsal, basketball, and futsal, despite the fact that these sports generally do not correspond to the characteristics of elementary school children's growth and development. This brought about the learning gave was unimportant to the abilities to be accomplished and brought about the getting the hang of becoming dreary and less intriguing. Researchers are interested in developing a model of basic movement learning to develop creative thinking skills through a play approach for fifth grade elementary school students in light of the issues discussed above with physical education instruction. Research, Practical & Social implications: The learning model is a strategy that the teacher uses to carry out teaching and learning activities that involve students as recipients of learning activities' knowledge in order to accomplish a goal. Originality/value: There are a number of inputs in the form of comments and suggestions for products developed as a result of the experts' validation (basic motion learning model to develop creative thinking skills through a play approach in elementary school). The following are expert recommendations and comments: (1) A basic movement learning model that can accommodate the needs of students and teachers in carrying out the physical education learning process based on the curriculum objectives is required, (2) The focus on the objectives of developing basic movement learning models is on the cognitive aspects seen in students' understanding of the game's rules, the ability of children to think creatively in understanding forms of movement activity, such as increasing the power of creativity on the basis of skills, (3) The rules of the game are simplified so that participants in elementary school can easily understand them, (4) games are adapted to basic competencies in learning materials in class, (5) games are adapted to children's character, (6) equipment is adapted to the characteristics of children in class and equipment made by yourself needs to be considered for safety not only considering learning media but The equipment used should be cheap and practical. The basic movement learning model for developing creative thinking skills through the play approach in elementary schools can be revised as follows on the basis of the experts' suggestions and comments above: 1) the basic movement learning model focuses on the goals of learning physical education based on the curriculum; 2) it focuses on developing basic motion learning models that focus on creative thinking skills from a cognitive, affective, and psychomotor perspective; 3) it uses games that are adapted to core curriculum themes and competencies so that physical education teachers in elementary schools can use them.
