SAIH Rhythmic Gymnastics as the Golden Key to Enhancing Motor Coordination and Balance among Elementary School Students

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to improve rhythmic gymnastics learning outcomes through the development of motor coordination and balance among students at MI Al-Hasyimiyah Jakarta. The research subjects consisted of 15 fourth-grade students. The study employed the Kemmis & McTaggart model, which includes the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, performance tests, documentation, and field notes. The results showed a significant improvement in balance skills and motor coordination from the pre-research stage to Cycle III. By the end of the study, 93.3% of students achieved mastery learning. These findings demonstrate that the Anak Indonesia Hebat (SAIH) rhythmic gymnastics program is effective in enhancing elementary school students’ rhythmic gymnastics learning outcomes.
