PENINGKATAN KECERDASAN KINESTETIK ANAK MELALUI PERMAINAN ESTAFET DI PAUD MENTARI MALIGAS

Abstract

The aim of this study was to enhance the kinesthetic intelligence of children. The research utilized a classroom action research approach, focusing on children in group B at PAUD Mentari Maligas, which included 15 children (8 boys and 7 girls). Observations were used for data collection. The analysis of the data involved calculating the average scores, evaluating learning completeness, and conducting a t-test. Findings revealed an improvement in children's kinesthetic intelligence through the use of relay games. The average score was favorable, with a learning completeness rate of 93.33%, and the t-test showed t-count = -10, which is greater than the t-table values (5% = 2.14 and 1% = 2.97). These results suggest that incorporating relay games can be an effective method for teachers to enhance students' kinesthetic intelligence
