Abstract

Abstract

This study aims to improve the gross motor skills of children aged 3–4 years by using a balance beam as a learning medium. The research was conducted using the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, which was carried out in two cycles. The subjects of the study were 22 students from Group B (ages 3–4 years). The research took place at the Puspa Hati Integrated Early Childhood Education Center (PPT), located at Jalan Jangkungan 1D No. 11, Sukolilo District, Surabaya. The research data consisted of information about the children's ability to walk on the balance beam. The improvement in gross motor skills was considered successful if 80% of the children achieved a "good" criterion.The pre-action results showed that the children's gross motor skills were in the "poor" category, with an average score of 48%. In Cycle 1, the results improved to the "fair" category with an average score of 60%. Although there was an improvement after the actions in Cycle 1, it did not meet the success criteria, thus requiring a second cycle. In Cycle II, the results achieved the "good" criterion with an average score of 84%.
