Perancangan Program Jasmani Terpadu Terintegrasi Aspek Kognitif dan Sosial-Emosional Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

This study aims to describe the design of an integrated physical education program that incorporates motor, cognitive, and socio-emotional aspects in early childhood learning. Physical education in early childhood serves not only to develop physical abilities but also to stimulate cognitive and socio-emotional development in an integrated manner. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews with teachers, and analysis of instructional documents used in planning and implementing physical activities. The findings indicate that the physical education program was systematically designed by integrating movement activities, cognitive stimulation, and socio-emotional interactions through play-based learning. Teachers considered children's developmental characteristics, learning objectives, and the learning environment when planning activities. The integration of these three developmental domains was found to support holistic child development, enhance learning engagement, and create meaningful learning experiences. Therefore, well-planned and integrated physical education programs are essential for optimizing various aspects of early childhood development
