The Effect of Brain Gym on Learning Concentration for School Age Children

—Decreased concentration can cause students' grades at school to decrease, also cause the quality of student learning to be low, and cause a lack of seriousness in learning as well as low comprehension skills for students, concentration and capital to receive learning material. In this way, students can increase their concentration with movement and thought activities that involve the right and left brain using the Brain Gym technique. Objective The aim of the research is to determine the effect of Brain Gym on the learning concentration of school-aged children. Methods: This type of research is quantitative research using numbers and experimental research methods, namely to determine the symptoms or effects of the experiment, Pre-Experimental Designs, namely One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. This design consists of one group without a control group. The sample was 25 respondents from class V students at SDN Pasir gintung 01 taken using the total sampling technique. The instrument used in The Army Aplha Test consists of 12 question items. With analysis, the prerequisite tests are divided into "homogeneity, normality, hypothesis tests". Results: The results of the research obtained the results of the Parametric Independent T Test Hypothesis Test, namely 0.000. So the p value ≤ 0.05 (Ho is rejected, Ha is accepted) means "there is an influence of Brain Gym on the learning concentration of school aged children. Conclusion: Brain Gym has an effect on children's concentration because Brain Gym movements relax the brain before receiving learning. Researchers hope that this research can provide information as well as suggestions for improving the concentration of class V students at SDN Pasir gintung 01 by starting with Brain Gym activities in learning at school and also making children concentrate before learning begins.
