<![CDATA[The locomotor learning model for early childhood developed in Indonesia is still not innovative. Therefore, researchers intend to develop an innovative locomotion learning model. This research aims to obtain the validity of the locomotor movement learning model to improve locomotor movement in children aged 6-8 years. The validation data collection method used Focus Group Discussion (FGD) by 5 experts. The validity of the learning model is assessed based on content and construct validity. The content and construct validation results through expert FGDs show that the locomotor learning model for children aged 6-8 years is included in the very valid category. These findings suggest that, theoretically, it is sound and may be used to help kids between the ages of six and eight develop their locomotor skills. Researchers' locomotor movement learning model offers tremendous potential for academics and practitioners to conduct more studies based on its construct validity and content results. One area that warrants further investigation is the applicability and efficacy of the locomotor movement learning model for 6–8-year-old children.
