Fun Game Based Learning Model to Enhance Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) Children with Mild ID

Abstract

This study's rationale includes the following factors: (1) Children with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) face obstacles in acquiring Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) due to their mental health conditions, (2) Teachers encounter challenges when creating play activity models aimed at enhancing the FMS of children with ID, (3) The facilities and equipment in schools are primarily designed for typically developing children, which may not cater to the needs of children with ID. As a response, the researchers have devised mengenal tanaman bunga learning model tailored to the characteristics and challenges of children with ID in primary school special education to promote the development of FMS. The research methodology employed aligns with the research and development approach outlined by Borg and Gall. The subject of small group trial used 13 students and 4 teachers, and the subject of large group trial used 26 students and 4 teachers in the 3 primary school special education in Palembang City. The research instrument used a rating scale by 4 experts. Expert validity test results with Content Validity Index (CVI) shows an average number of 3,8 and Contents Validity Ratio (CVR) analysis show an average number 0.6 which means the model developed is appropriate or relevant or good, and also has high content validity. The learning model Mengenal Tanaman Bunga is ready to test empirical validity with 5 test stages, namely; (1) validity test, (2) reliability test, (3) small group trial, (4) large group trial and (5) effectiveness test.
