Conventional and Modern Learning with Different Motor Abilities Towards Increasing Consistency of Groundstroke Forehand Drive in Tennis

Abstract

This research was aimed to determine the different effects of learning approach using conventional and modern way with low and high motor ability towards the increasing consistency of groundstroke drive forehand in tennis. Research population are freshman in the Department of Sport Coaching Education, State University of Malang 2016/2017 with no skill on tennis. Total sample respondent was 40 respondents taken with Purposive random Sampling. Samples divided into four treatment groups: group of conventional learning with high motor ability (a1b1), group of conventional learning with low motor ability (a1b2), group of modern learning with high motor ability (a2b1), and group of modern learning with low motor ability (a2b2). Grouping in this research's sample is done by ordinaly match pairing. Statistical analysis used anova factorial 2 x 2 with SPSS 23 program. The results show that: 1) There is a difference in the effect of learning approach conventional and modern way towards the increasing consistency of groundstroke forehand drive in tennis; 2) There is a different effect of learning with high and low motor ability towards the increasing consistency of groundstroke forehand drive in tennis; 3) There is an interaction between the learning approach and the motor ability level to the increasing consistency of groundstroke forehand drive in tennis.
