Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh permainan tradisional terhadap kemampuan perseptual motorik anak di SDN Margawati II Garut Kota. Metode penelitian menggunakan eksperimen dengan desain Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas III SDN Margawati II Garut Kota, sedangkan sampel penelitian terdiri dari 40 orang, 20 orang siswa yang diberikan permainan tradisional dan 20 orang siswa sebagai kelompok kontrol atau yang tidak diberikan permainan tradisional. Pemilihan sampel menggunakan teknik sampel jenuh, yakni seluruh populasi dijadikan sampel. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan tes perseptual motorik dengan reliabilitas 0.75.  Analisis data menggunakan statistika non parametrik Wilcoxon test. Berdasarkan pengolahan dan analisis data, dapat diketahui nilai Whitung 4.0 dan nilai Wtabel sebesar 52 (α= 0.05). Karena nilai Whitung lebih kecil dari Wtabel maka Ho ditolak. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa permainan tradisional berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kemampuan perseptual motorik anak di SDN Margawati II Garut Kota.  Abstract The purpose of this research was to find out whether the traditional games gave significant impacts on student’s perceptual motor in SDN Margawati II, Garut Kota. Experimental study methodology was used in this research by using Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population of this research was third grade students of SDN Margawati II Garut Kota, while the sample of this research involved 40 students, 20 students received the traditional game instructions and 20 students as control group who did not receive the traditional game instruction. The sampling technique used was saturated sampling technique in which all of the populations are included as samples. The research instrument was perceptual motor test by Prof. Hari Amirullah Rachman which had trial validity 14.3 and the reability 0.75. Data analysis used statistic non parametric with Wilcoxon test. The data analysis showed that Wscore 4.0 and Wtable distribution 52 (α= 0.05). Since Wscore was lower than Wtable, accordingly H0 is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the traditional games give significant impacts on students’ perceptual motor skill.

Concerns to children with disabilities in terms of their needs for moving and level of physical activity have not been supported by a teacher supply system that is appropriate for their field of study, namely adaptive physical education teachers. This study is aimed at portraying teachers’ profiles of Adaptive Physical Education in special schools in Indonesia. The data collection was carried out by means of questionnaires and articulated with the descriptive approach. The result of the study reveals that the number of specialist teachers with physical education backgrounds is still meager, which is only around 38 percent, compared to those who graduated from Special Education Program, which more than 60.5 percent. The majority of the teachers have never been given a chance to improve their PE teaching competency in the form of training (86,4 percent). It is recommended that there should be an openness from those working in special schools and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the urgent need for this adaptive physical education teacher.  The statement will encourage the evolve of national urgency and drive all the stakeholders to respond to it institutionally, for instance by opening the program for adaptive physical education or at least to pave the way with initially offering concentration for this adaptive PE under the generic PE program.

The early childhood is critical period in lifetime. The purpose of this study is to figure the children fine and gross motor development in four and five years old. The research methodology used Ex-post Facto in early childhood students who have attended in Kindergarten school. The population four and five years old children from Moslem Kindergarten School. Amount of sample is twenty children. Motor development measured by Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) 3rd Edition.The result of this study showed the differences among gross and fine motor skill in four and five years old children. Both of fine and gross motor skill is very important to children health and academic achievement in future. Then, so the parents and teachers need to giving stimulate for developing the two of them with proportionally.

Early childhood motor development is important to know, as an effort to identify children's talents and abilities. Early detection also needs to be known to determine what efforts can be taken to optimize child development. This study aims to provide a description of gross and fine motor development in children aged 4-5 years who are associated with parents' socio-economic status (SES). The research method used descriptive quantitative method, with Ex-Post Facto design. The study population was children 4-5 years old Kindergarten and Raudhatul Athfal in urban areas with Intermediate (Middle and Upper and Lower Middle) SES levels. The sample was chosen by cluster random sampling. Participating samples have received parental approval. SES is measured using the SES Questioner. Motor skills were measured using ASQ 3rd Edition. Efforts to increase active lifestyles in early childhood require the role of a fairly large parent. Good gross motoric development is the child's initial capital to be able to carry out more complex motion tasks. Fine motoric is no less important to continue stimulated both in the home and school environment. Because this plays an important role as a basis for children to be able to write and read, as well as doing simple motor tasks. AbstrakPerkembangan motorik anak sejak dini penting untuk diketahui, sebagai upaya identifikasi bakat dan kemampuan anak. Deteksi dini pun perlu diketahui untuk menentukan upaya apa saja yang bisa ditempuh untuk mengoptimalkan perkembangan anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan gambaran perkembangan motorik kasar dan halus pada anak usia 4-5 tahun yang dihubungkan dengan latar belakang sosial ekonomi status  (SES) orang tua. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kuantitatif, dengan desain Ex-Post Facto. Populasi penelitian adalah anak Taman Kanak-kanak dan Raudhatul Athfal  berusia 4-5 tahun di wilayah perkotaan dengan tingkat SES Menengah (Menengah Atas maupun Menengah Bawah).  Sampel dipilih dengan cluster random sampling. Sampel yang berpartisipasi telah mendapatkan persetujuan orang tua. SES diukur menggunakan SES Questioner. Keterampilan motorik diukur menggunakan ASQ 3rd Edition. Upaya peningkatan gaya hidup aktif pada anak usia dini memerlukan peran orang tua yang cukup besar. Perkembangan motorik kasar yang baik merupakan modal awal anak untuk mampu melakukan tugas gerak yang kian lama kian kompleks. Motorik halus pun tidak kalah penting untuk terus distimulasi baik di lingkungan rumah maupun sekolah. Karena hal ini sangat berperan penting sebagai dasar bagi anak untuk mampu menulis dan membaca, juga mengerjakan tugas motorik yang sederhana.
