Physical education learning in elementary schools faces challenges in integrating spatial cognitive abilities with students' motor skills. This condition often causes students to experience difficulties in understanding the concept of movement as a whole, both in terms of position, direction, and body coordination. This study aims to analyze the effect of motion simulation-based learning media on spatial understanding and learning retention in the context of traditional sports. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design involving elementary school students divided into experimental and control groups. Learning with motion simulation media provides a more concrete visual experience so that students can observe, imitate, and evaluate movements more effectively. In addition, the use of this media also increases student engagement in the learning process. Motion simulation media has been proven superior in developing spatial understanding and maintaining medium-term memory through dynamic visual representations and direct feedback mechanisms that facilitate memory consolidation. These findings provide empirical evidence that the integration of simulation technology with local cultural content effectively transforms physical education learning into a more interactive and meaningful one, as well as supporting the improvement of the quality of student learning outcomes.
