GROSS MOTOR DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY CHILDHOOD THROUGH RANUP LAMPUAN DANCE FROM ACEH
Abstract
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the gross motor development of early childhood through the implementation of the Ranup Lampuan Dance from Aceh at Ulumul Qur'an Bireuen Kindergarten. This research was conducted because children's gross motor development requires appropriate and fun stimulation, while the use of local culture-based activities in early childhood learning is still not optimally utilized. The Ranup Lampuan dance was chosen because it has movements that involve body coordination, balance, agility, and muscle strength that are in accordance with the characteristics of early childhood development. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of children aged 5–6 years who participated in dance activities at Ulumul Qur'an Bireuen Kindergarten. Data collection was carried out through direct observation, semi-structured interviews with teachers, and documentation of learning activities. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis techniques through the processes of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.. The results of the study showed that the implementation of the Ranup Lampuan Dance was able to positively stimulate various aspects of children's gross motor skills. The aspect of body balance obtained the highest achievement of 82% with the category of Very Good Development, followed by muscle strength of 80%, body coordination of 78%, motor control abilities of 77% and agility of 75%. Dance movements that are carried out gradually help children improve their body coordination skills, maintain balance, and follow movements according to the rhythm of music. This study concludes that the Ranup Lampuan Dance can be used as an effective learning medium to support the gross motor development of early childhood as well as introduce the local culture of Aceh from an early age. Further research may develop the use of other traditional dances as a stimulation of early childhood development.
