<p>This study aims to examine the relationship between self-esteem and learning responsibility and group learning commitment of physical education students. We used a quantitative approach, with a correlation design. During the research, there were 88 physical education students from semester VI involved. In collecting the data, we used the State Self-Esteem Scale from Heatherton and Polivy (1991), the Personal Responsibility Questionnaire from Mergler (2007), and the Organization Commitment Scale from Allen and Meyer (1990). The research data were analyzed descriptively and used Pearson correlation with the assistance of SPSS. The descriptive test revealed that self-esteem is quite good (67%), responsibility for learning is relatively good (54.6%), and students’ group learning commitment is quite good (65.9%). Whereas, the Pearson test indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between self-esteem and learning responsibilities (0.468) and the students’ group learning commitment (0.282). This study emphasizes that lecturers and peers need to support, maintain, and develop positive self-esteem through supportive feedback to encourage students’ learning behavior, such as being responsible and committed to group learning in completing various learning tasks.</p>

This study aimed at improving the teaching skills of prospective physical education teachers by using the drill guide method. The design used was Classroom Action Research from S. Kemmis and R. McTaggart involving 41 research subjects. Data for each cycle were taken by using teaching skill observation guidelines and in-depth interviews. The data were analysed descriptively. The improvement of the subjects’ teaching skills from the Pre Cycle to Cycle 1 was  86,4%, from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2 was 12,8%, and from Cycle 2 to Cycle 3  was 16,7%. The fastest improving item was to wear clean and neat clothes (3,95) and the slowest one was to relate the material to other fields of science (2,46). From the result, it can be concluded that the drill guide method is one of the best methods that can be applied when educators (lecturers or teachers) are giving a skill guidance.

Microteaching focuses on student collaboration efforts to improve teaching skills. Teaching skills are essential for prospective teachers. However, problems still arise because all members are not committed to supporting teaching skills as the ultimate goal of micro-teaching learning. This study aimed to examine differences in the teaching skills of prospective physical education teachers based on group learning. Commitment. This study uses a comparative quantitative design method. The sample involved is 41 students who are programming micro-teaching courses. Skills data were collected using observation guidelines and group learning commitment data using the Organizational Commitment Scale. The techniques used for data analysis are qualitative descriptive analysis and quantitative and inferential statistics. The findings prove that those who commit to group learning have better teaching skills than those who have a low commitment to group learning. Commitment to group learning can help students acquire skills through creating a sense of comfort in learning, reflecting on a responsibility to improve themselves, and trying to help peers through the role of observer and reflection.

Optimization of Social Support in Physical Education Learning to Strengthen Students' Social Self-Esteem. Objectives: This study aims to test the determination of teacher and classmate support for students' social self-esteem. Methods: The participants were 94 junior high school students grade 7 (M = 12.7660; SD = 0.53733). We collected the data using The Teacher and Classmate Support Scale and Social Self-Esteem Inventory. Data were analyzed descriptively and the t-test. Findings: The results of teacher and classmate support and students' social self-esteem variables show positive results, as well as proving that teacher and classmate support affects students' social self-esteem during physical education learning activities. Conclusion: The presence of teachers in the learning class is necessary to provide social, emotional, and cognitive support to students so that they become more confident in performing their abilities and also feel comfortable with every performance they produce in some learning experiences and expressive learning cultures.

Living the life of the 21st century, one of the essential things that the world of education pays attention to is the development of students' analytical thinking skill activities. Research in various countries found only a few studies on developing analytical thinking instruments for Micro Teaching courses. Reports of several studies are limited to developing analytical thinking instruments for elementary school students. This research aims to construct analytical thinking skill instruments for Micro Teaching courses by adopting a development research model (test design, test trials, and test assembly). Nine items were designed using the concept of analytical thinking skills from Anderson and his colleagues; differentiation, organizing, and attributing, then validated by nine raters and tested on 30 students. Content validity testing (rater assessment) uses the Aiken–V formula, reliability testing uses Cronbach's alpha formula, Inter–Rater Reliability testing from Pearson's Intraclass Correlation Coefficients, construct validity testing uses Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), as well as analyzing the difficulty and discrimination item. The research results prove that the validity of the content of each item and the reliability test has been fulfilled. While the results of the trial using EFA confirmed the formation of three dominant factors with a loading factor value of ˃0.50, with a reliability coefficient of 0.82. The instrument is appropriate to use because, in addition to fulfilling the parameters of statistical testing, this instrument is also more operational, contextual, and practical to use to measure and assess analytical thinking skills for Micro Teaching courses.
