ANALISIS PENGARUH ASUPAN GIZI SEIMBANG TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN MOTORIK KASAR PADA ANAK USIA 5-6 TAHUN
Abstract
This study is motivated by the importance of balanced nutritional intake in supporting the growth and development of children, particularly the gross motor development of children aged 5–6 years. The study aims to determine the influence of balanced nutritional intake on gross motor development and to identify differences in gross motor abilities among children aged 5–6 years based on their nutritional intake at TK Lab School, East Ciputat District, South Tangerang City. A quantitative approach with a comparative method was employed. The sample consisted of 40 respondents selected from children aged 5–6 years. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 software, utilizing normality tests, homogeneity tests, and the Independent Samples t-test. Hypothesis testing yielded a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 (< 0.05); consequently, the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted, and the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected. The mean gross motor ability score was 37.96 for the group with good nutrition and 31.92 for the group with poor nutrition. These findings demonstrate that balanced nutritional intake influences the gross motor development of children aged 5–6 years and that there is a significant difference in gross motor abilities between children with good nutritional intake and those with poor nutritional intake.
Keywords: balanced nutritional intake, gross motor development, children aged 5–6 years, child development, quantitative research
