This study explores the potential role of collaborative motor learning facilitated through the strategic arrangement of tools and spaces in supporting the development of social skills in early childhood. While social and motor skills are fundamentally interrelated, a significant knowledge gap persists regarding the operationalization of a learning environment that integrates both dimensions simultaneously. The novelty of this research lies in its explicit treatment of spatial and tool arrangements as concrete sociocultural instruments within the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) framework, an aspect often overlooked in traditional motor development studies. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved children aged 5 to 6 years. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings indicate that the Cheerful Number Relay activity designed with an open spatial layout, a colored relay track, and visual composition boards demonstrates a significant contribution to fostering active social interactions. Children exhibited enhanced capacities in coordination, communication, mutual assistance, and self-regulation. These results confirm that collaborative motor learning, structured through systematic environmental interventions, functions as scaffolding to optimize social skills within the ZPD. This study provides practical contributions for early childhood educators in designing holistic learning environments that integrate social and motor competencies.

Psychological Factors Influencing Universal Design for Learning: A Systematic Review on Inclusive Education
Syeda Parsa Jarar, Farida Kurniawati (Author)Show Abstract | Download PDF | DOI: 10.31004/obsesi.v9i4.6933 | Check in Google Scholar
This systematic review explores the integration of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Self-Determination Theory - Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction (SDT-BPNS) in early childhood education. By analyzing 14 peer-reviewed articles from 2014 to 2024, this study identifies how UDL practices address relatedness, competence, and autonomy to enhance inclusive education. Findings reveal that collaborative learning environments and positive teacher-student relationships promote relatedness, especially when culturally adapted. Competence is enhanced through scaffolded learning, differentiated instruction, and teacher training programs, though limited resources and inadequate training remain challenges. Autonomy is supported by flexible, creative, and student-centered activities, but institutional constraints often limit its effectiveness. Integrating UDL with SDT-BPNS provides a comprehensive framework addressing both structural and psychological aspects of learning. This approach enhances motivation, engagement, and inclusivity by promoting emotional and cognitive well-being. However, cultural responsiveness, institutional support, and tailored training programs are essential for effective implementation. This review highlights the need for future research to explore long-term effects and develop culturally responsive UDL frameworks that incorporate SDT-BPNS principles.
