Abstract

There is limited information available regarding special education in Indonesia. Nonetheless, the development of motor skills is crucial for students with Down syndrome in an inclusive educational setting. Purpose: This research aims to assess the fundamental locomotor skills of students with Down Syndrome and to explore whether there are differences in motor performance based on sex. Method: A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, with a sample of 20 students, consisting of 10 males and 10 females with Down Syndrome. The Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2), created by Ulrich (2000), served as the evaluation tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-tests, utilizing SPSS version 29.0 and Microsoft Excel software. Results: The subtest component of jumping achieved the highest mean score (M = 4.1, SD = 1.944), whereas hopping showed the lowest performance (M = 2.35, SD = 1.182). About 70% of participants (n = 14) displayed average basic locomotor movement skills. Overall, there were no significant differences in locomotor movement skill performance based on gender (p = 0.195 > 0.05). Conclusion: Students with Down Syndrome showcase a range of skill levels across different movement abilities, with jumping identified as one of their strengths that requires intervention. The outcomes of this study aim to establish a valuable database regarding the locomotor skill profiles of students with Down syndrome in Indonesia, which is pertinent to inclusive education, and to provide a fresh perspective on the exploration of gender-related locomotor skills. Informasi mengenai pendidikan khusus di Indonesia masih terbatas. Namun, pengembangan keterampilan motorik sangat penting bagi siswa dengan sindrom Down dalam lingkungan pendidikan inklusif. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi keterampilan lokomotor dasar siswa dengan sindrom Down dan mengeksplorasi apakah terdapat perbedaan dalam kinerja motorik berdasarkan jenis kelamin. Metode: Pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif digunakan, dengan sampel 20 siswa, terdiri dari 10 laki-laki dan 10 perempuan dengan sindrom Down. Alat evaluasi yang digunakan adalah Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2), yang dikembangkan oleh Ulrich (2000). Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji t sampel independen, dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak SPSS versi 29.0 dan Microsoft Excel. Hasil: Komponen subtes melompat mencapai skor rata-rata tertinggi (M = 4,1, SD = 1,944), sedangkan melompat menunjukkan kinerja terendah (M = 2,35, SD = 1,182). Sekitar 70% peserta (n = 14) menunjukkan keterampilan gerak lokomotor dasar rata-rata. Secara keseluruhan, tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dalam kinerja keterampilan gerak lokomotor berdasarkan jenis kelamin (p = 0.195 > 0.05). Kesimpulan: Siswa dengan Sindrom Down menunjukkan rentang tingkat keterampilan yang bervariasi dalam berbagai kemampuan gerak, dengan melompat diidentifikasi sebagai salah satu kekuatan mereka yang memerlukan intervensi. Hasil penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun basis data yang berharga mengenai profil keterampilan lokomotor siswa dengan Sindrom Down di Indonesia, yang relevan dengan pendidikan inklusif, serta memberikan perspektif baru dalam eksplorasi keterampilan lokomotor terkait gender.
