Peranan Permainan Engklek Terhadap Kecerdasan Logika Matematika Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

This research aims to explore and analyze the role of the engklek game on the
mathematical logic intelligence of elementary school students. Mathematics education at the
elementary school level plays a crucial role in forming the basis for understanding
mathematical concepts. Even though many students experience low interest in mathematics,
the crank game is identified as an interesting alternative to improve mathematical logic
intelligence. The research method used was qualitative with a case study approach at SD Negeri
Tunjung Teja 1. Data was collected through observation, interviews and literature study. The
research results show that the engklek game not only acts as entertainment but also as a fun
learning strategy. From a neuroscience perspective, the activities in this game stimulate the
areas of the brain involved in logical and analytical thinking, thereby increasing students'
mathematical logic intelligence. This research has positive implications for mathematics
learning in elementary schools, creating a fun and interactive learning environment, increasing
student motivation and stimulating student cognitive development. Thus, the engklek game is
considered an effective tool for improving the quality of mathematics learning in elementary
schools.
