Blended learning and online learning with project-based learning: Do they affect cognition and psycho-motor learning achievement in physical conditions?

Abstract

Background and the Aim of the Study. Online learning is only available in a limited capacity via the WhatsApp group. The WhatsApp group application is used to provide learning material which is often offered in the form of films obtained from YouTube, very brief explanations, and assignments. Therefore, special attention is needed in considering online learning methods so that learning objectives can be achieved. This study aims to determine the effect of blended learning and project-based learning on the cognitive and psychomotor capacities of Padang State University students. Material and Methods. This study uses a quantitative approach. This research was conducted at Padang State University with third-semester students enrolled in the 2022 physical condition course. A total of 80 students in the third semester of the physical condition course in 2022 were used as a sample. Data on learning outcomes and psychomotor learning achievements were obtained using an observation sheet of e-test skills in the form of video conferencing learning. Data analysis techniques in this study were assisted by using the SPSS application. Results. Cognitive learning outcomes of students who are taught with the project-based learning model reach an average of 72.3. This average is greater than the average of students studying the blended learning (BL) model, namely 63.5. Students who were taught using the project-based learning (PjBL) model had an average psychomotor learning result of 81.3 greater than students who were taught with the blended learning model which had an average of 76.3. Conclusions. The results show that blended learning and online learning models with project-based learning have a major impact on cognitive and psychomotor outcomes in learning achievements under physical settings. Testing the model on variables other than physical health can be used for additional study, and it is important to look at other variables that affect students' progress in cognitive and psychomotor learning.

Enhancing 21st century collaboration skills in physical education through the problem-based learning model

“…Educators aspire for students to actively participate and be ready for collaboration throughout the learning process. Consequently, the success of a teacher in education and learning implementation is measured by the positive changes observed in students' behavior (Aziz et al, 2023a;Aziz et al, 2023b;Haï dara et al, 2023;Lutfhi & Rahayu, 2022;Tanri et al, 2023;Umar et al, 2023). Given the significance of learning approaches in student progress, the selection of an appropriate approach bears a substantial impact on achieving learning objectives.…”

“…Physical education is one of the subjects that must be taught starting from elementary school to high school (Hasrion et al, 2020;Suryadi, 2022;Umar et al, 2023). In this learning process, there is an educational interaction between teachers and students which aims to enable students to learn actively and gain experiences that have a positive impact on their development (Angga et al, 2022).…”

Learning model of basic manipulative movements of throwing and catching: A developmental study through early childhood play

“…Teachers should exhibit mastery of the subject matter and stay abreast of the latest educational references. Teacher expertise correlates positively with the efficacy of teaching and learning endeavors (Umar et al, 2023). Emphasis is laid on the imperative to enhance educational standards and services, fostering the cultivation of proficient students and graduates (Mashud et al, 2023).…”

“…The design of game activities should be tailored to the learners' age and aptitude levels, facilitating educators in delivering appropriate materials. Teachers should gauge the complexity of the instructional model beforehand (Aziz, Okilanda, Permadi, et al, 2023;Mashud et al, 2024;Tantri et al, 2023;Umar et al, 2023). Analyzing the difficulty level involves aligning the model with the learners' capacities.…”

The use of tennis racket media among SEA Games athletes in Cambodia: How does it affect receiving sepak takraw?

“…Previous studies have explored methods such as the passing technique to improve receiving skills (Hanafi, 2020), as well as training models and flexibility to enhance service performance (Said & Syam, 2022). Consequently, advancements in sports technology have led to the development of various training equipment (Aziz et al, 2023;Aziz et al, 2023b;Umar et al, 2023;Yogi et al, 2023), including tennis rackets with distinct features that hold promise for enhancing athletes' skill development. Tennis rackets, with different designs and materials compared to traditional sepak takraw rackets, offer new variations and challenges in training, and this can be a solution to improve technique and enhance athletes' skills.…”
