Peranan Senam Otak Dalam Meningkatkan Fungsi Memori Jangka Pendek Pada Anak

Abstract

AbstrakTujuan studi ini untuk mengetahui secara teoritik peranan senam otak dalam meningkatkan fungsi memori jangka pendek (short term memory) pada anak. Penelitian kualitatif jenis studi kepustakaan ini dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan berbagai sumber dari jurnal dan buku terkait dengan fokus kajian. Analisis data yang digunakan berupa analisis naratif deskriptif. Hasil penelusuran menunjukkan gerakan yang dilakukan dalam senam otak dapat meningkatkan fungsi memori jangka pendek yang terbukti dengan kemajuan kemampuan anak dalam membaca. Gerakan senam otak melatih daerah sensorik otak sehingga daya tahan informasi yang didapat bertahan lebih lama membuat memori lebih kuat sehingga membuat proses belajar lebih mudah dan menghilangkan hambatan belajar. Senam otak sangat dianjurkan untuk anak-anak yang kemampuan matematikanya belum optimal. Hasil penelitian ini mengimplikasikan pada guru, orang tua atau pengasuh anak untuk senantiasa memberikan stimulus berupa senam otak pada anak agar dapat meningkatkan fungsi otak dan membuat tubuh rileks sehingga semangat dalam belajar sehingga dapat meningkatkan prestasi belajar. AbstractThe purpose of this study is to know how the brain gym improves short term memory function to children. This qualitative research with a literature study was conducted by collecting various sources from journals and books related to the focus of the study. The data analysis used was descriptive narrative analysis. The results showed that the movements in the brain gym can improve short-term memory function that is the progress of children's ability to read. Brain gym movements train the sensory areas of the brain so that the resistance of the information lasts longer, makes memory stronger, making the learning process easier and eliminating learning obstacles. Based on the study, a brain gym is highly recommended for children whose mathematical abilities are not yet optimal. It implies that teachers, parents, or caregivers should provide a stimulus in the form of brain gym to children. With that stimulus, it can improve brain function and relax the body. The children become more enthusiastic and improve their learning achievement.
