Perancangan Program Rekreasi “Motocraft” di BSD Xtreme Park dalam Menstimulasi Motorik Anak

Abstract

Program rekreasi anak berbasis aktivitas fisik di destinasi wisata masih terbatas, padahal berpotensi menstimulasi perkembangan motorik anak usia sekolah dasar. Penelitian ini bertujuan merancang program rekreasi stimulasi motorik anak “Motocraft” di BSD Xtreme Park berdasarkan inventarisasi atraksi wisata dan kegiatan kerajinan di Rumah Tanah Liat Citra, standar ideal program menurut ahli tumbuh kembang, serta preferensi guru sekolah dasar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan mixed methods dengan desain exploratory sequential melalui observasi, wawancara ahli, dan kuesioner terhadap guru sekolah dasar swasta di Tangerang Selatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan lima atraksi luar ruang berpotensi menstimulasi motorik kasar dan delapan kegiatan kerajinan menstimulasi motorik halus dengan tingkat kesulitan bertingkat. Ahli merekomendasikan pembagian kelompok usia 6–8 dan 9–12 tahun. Seluruh indikator preferensi guru dinilai sangat relevan. Program “Motocraft” mengintegrasikan stimulasi motorik kasar dan halus dalam dua kelompok usia sebagai alternatif produk rekreasi edukatif anak bagi pengelola destinasi dan sekolah.

Recreation programs that engage children in physical activity remain uncommon at tourism destinations, even though they can support motor development in elementary school-age children. This study designed “Motocraft,” a recreation program at BSD Xtreme Park intended to stimulate children’s motor skills. The design drew on an inventory of the park’s attractions and of craft activities at Rumah Tanah Liat Citra, on standards recommended by child-development experts, and on elementary school teachers’ preferences. Following an exploratory sequential mixed-methods design, it combined observation, expert interviews, and a questionnaire survey of private elementary school teachers in South Tangerang. Five outdoor attractions proved suitable for gross motor skills and eight craft activities for fine motor skills across graded levels of difficulty. Experts advised grouping children into 6–8 and 9–12 year age groups. All teacher-preference indicators were rated highly relevant. By integrating both forms of stimulation across the two age groups, “Motocraft” gives destination managers and schools a practical option for educational children’s recreation.
