Abstract

Background. Locomotor movement is a fundamental component of motor development in early elementary school. However, low student engagement and limited Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning facilities often restrict the effective development of locomotor skills.

Objectives. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of creative media-based team games in improving locomotor skills among second-grade elementary school students.

Material and Methods. The research used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design implemented over two cycles, each consisting of two actions. The participants were 28 students of class 2B from SD Negeri 02 Indralaya Utara. Data collection included observation, interviews, documentation, and the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2).

Results. The intervention led to a notable improvement in locomotor performance. The students’ average score increased from 29.89 (62.27%) at baseline to 44.46 (92.63%) at the end of Cycle 2, indicating substantial progress following the implementation of creative media-based team games.

Conclusions. Creative media-based team games are effective in enhancing locomotor skills and fostering an engaging, active learning environment. The findings provide practical guidance for teachers in designing evidence-based instructional strategies to support locomotor development in early elementary education.
