Differences in the Effect of Learning Methods Massed Practice Throwing and Distributed Practice on Learning Outcomes Skills for the Accuracy of Top Softball

Abstract

Problems in accuracy top throws are often carried out by students in softball games so the need for alternative methods to improve them are the method massed practice and distributed practice. This study aims to find out: (1) effect of learning methods massed practice and distributed practice on the accuracy in conducting top throws on male students of extracurricular softball class X at Bhina Karya Karanganyar Vocational School 2014/2015 Academic Year, and (2) the influence between the method of practicing massed practice and distributed practice on the accuracy in carrying out throws on male students. This research is an experimental research using pre-test-post-test design with technique pairing ordinal. The sample groups of this study were 30 male students of extracurricular softball class X. Data analysis used different tests: (1) before being given treat; (2) after being treat; and (3) differences in percentage increase between groups. The results of the study are (1) the effect of learning massed practice and distributed practice on the ability of the accuracy of throws on balls of softball, with the results of count = 4.740 > t table = 2.145; and (2) the learning method massed practice has a better effect than the exercise of distributed practice on the ability to accurately throw balls of softball, with an increase massed practice = 29,054%> distributed practice = 14,085%. The conclusions of the study are (1) there are differences in the influence of learning massed practice and distributed practice on the ability of the accuracy of the throws on balls softball; and (2) learning method massed practice has a better effect than exercises including distributed practice on the ability to accurately throw balls of softball.
