Development of TikTok-Based Boran Creative Dance Learning Media to Stimulate Children's Gross Motor Skills

Abstrak

Indonesia has a wealth of traditional arts that are educational in value, one of which is the Boran Dance from Lamongan, which has the potential to stimulate gross motor development in early childhood. However, observations in schools indicate that most children have not developed optimally in terms of agility, balance, flexibility, coordination, and strength. This study aims to develop a TikTok-based Boran dance learning medium and test its effectiveness in stimulating the gross motor skills of 5-6-year-old children. The research method uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model through the stages of needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The product was a Boran creative dance video modified according to the characteristics of early childhood and validated by subject matter experts, media experts, and teachers. The results of the trial showed a significant increase in gross motor skills after using the media, as indicated by the difference in pretest and posttest scores. The media was declared practical, captivating, and suitable for use as a technology-based learning tool that can be accessed at school or at home with parental guidance. Thus, the TikTok-based Boran creative dance learning media is effective in stimulating gross motor development while introducing local culture from an early age.
