Abstract

Brain gymnastic is a series of simple exercises that consist of integrated contralateral movements that require balance, which mechanically activate both hemispheres of the brain through sensory and stimulating the motor cortex balance system. The research objective was to determine the effects of brain gym on the ability to remember the lessons of social science to the students of SDN Sukorejo II Lamongan. This study used experimental design. The population was 5th grade student and 30 samples were recruited by using simple random sampling. The independent variable in this study was brain gymnastic movement and the independent variable was a memory of improvement course material social sciences. Data were analysed by using the Wilcoxon test and mannwhitney test. The results showed thaton pre-test of control group, there were (6.7%) students had low value, 6 students (40%) in value, 8 students (55.3%) had high value. While, post-test showed 3 students (20%) had low grades, 12 students (80%) value. Otherwise, the results of pre-test of treatment group showed that 7 students (47%) had low value, 7 students (46%) values, and 1 student (7%) had high value; and post test showed 1 student (6.7%) got the low value, 9 students (60%) had the value of the center, and 5 students (33%) had high value. Wilcoxon test results by comparing the pre and post test experiment of social science courses group and the control group showed ρ = 0.001 for the control group, and ρ = 0.008 for treatment group. Mann-Whitney test results obtained ρ = 0.009. It meant that there was a difference in social science courses between treatment and control groups after the intervention of brain gymnastics. Brain exercises can improve student scores. Therefore, brain exercises are recommended to be applied for students. Keywords: Braingym, Memory, Social Science
