Abstrak ____________________________________________________________Pendidikan di Indonesia saat ini sudah semakin berkembang, meskipun terdapat sebagian orang yang menyatakan bahwa pendidikan di Indonesia terpuruk. Pada hakikatnya bukan hasil pendidikan yang terpuruk melainkan standar pendidikan yang setiap tahun selalu mengalami peningkatan. Jika dibandingkan dengan negara-negara maju memang pendidikan di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah, namun jika dibandingkan dengan negara berkembang lainnya kualitas pendidikan di Indonesia sudah patut dikategorikan baik. Kebijakan-kebijakan yang mengatur tentang pendidikan pun sudah sangat banyak, sehingga memudahkan dan memberikan ruang gerak bagi insan pendidikan Indonesia untuk terus berinovasi dan membangun pendidikan yang berkarakter sesuai dengan harapan pendidikan nasional. Abstract _______________________________________________________Education in Indonesia is now increasingly growing, although there are some people who say that education in Indonesia has fallen. In essence, it is not the outcome of the worst education but the standard of education which always increases every year. When compared with developed countries, education in Indonesia is still relatively low, but when compared with other developing countries, the quality of education in Indonesia deserves to be categorized as good. The policies that regulate education are already very numerous, making it easier and providing space for Indonesian education personnel to continue to innovate and build character education in accordance with national education expectations.

Making faithful and pious human as the manifestation of religious characters has become one of the demands in the 2013 Curriculum (K13) that is currently implemented in Indonesia. It implies that instilling religious character is not only the duty of religious teachers but also physical education (PE) teachers. The dichotomy of religious and non-religious sciences has an impact on the lack of understanding and ability of PE teachers in developing learning methods based on religious character development. Therefore, this research aims at improving the competence of PE teachers in developing learning based on religious values. This research employs action research design done in three stages namely the pre-action stage, implementation and action stage and the post-action stage by involving 30 PE teachers in Sumedang Regency. This research found that: 1) There was an increase in the understanding of PE teachers regarding aspects of religious character in learning (21%); 2) This increased understanding was shown by the success of teachers in growing students' behavior reflecting religiosity including behavior of faith and piety (88.67%), clean living behavior (88.89%), environment love behavior (88.89%) and behavior that reflects tolerance (87.78%); and 3) The success of PE teachers in developing religious character was based on the nine learning steps summarized as TADZKIROH acronym. These findings reveal that developing students' religious character in PE learning requires the teachers to understand and apply the TADZKIROH method.

Balance is the ability to react to any change in body position so that the body remains stable and in control. A right balance will enable a person to carry out activities and movements effectively and efficiently with minimal risk of falling. A balanced training program is given as many athletes get injured during peak periods and training for patients with Multiple Sclerosis and Down Syndrome. The author is interested in proving and implementing various forms of balance training applied to children who participate in various sports at primary school age to prevent them from avoiding injury. Therefore, all physical conditions must be met so that they are ready to receive training at the next stage. This study aims to determine the effect of learning static and dynamic balance in elementary school students. The method used is a pretest-posttest control group design experimental random sampling method. The sample is elementary school students in grades 5 and 6. The instruments used in the form of tests are the standing crane test and the Star Balance Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). The results showed that static and dynamic balance learning significantly influenced the improvement of balance in elementary school students. In conclusion, learning static and dynamic balance together provides increased balance in elementary school students
