Improvement of Motor Skills and Motivation to Learn Physical Education Through the Use of Traditional Games

Abstract

Study purpose. This study aims to investigate motor skills and motivation to learn physical education through traditional games. Materials and methods. The study was conducted using an experimental method and involved 60 students from primary schools in Purwodadi District, Grobogan Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected by measuring motor skills and learning motivation through affective, cognitive and psychomotor tests that were examined for validity and reliability. In addition, students' character was also measured through observational tests of students' basic movement skills. The measurement of basic movement skills was carried out before and after the intervention, which lasted for 8 sessions over one month. Data analysis was carried out using the ANOVA technique, reinforced by regression of research results using SPSS 22 software. Results. The results showed that the traditional game approach had a significant effect on increasing students' motivation to learn physical education. The traditional games approach also contributed positively to students' learning outcomes. Through hands-on experience in these traditional games, students can develop motor skills, coordination, speed, strength, as well as cognitive aspects such as strategy, spatial intelligence and situation analysis. Conclusions. By participating in traditional games, students can understand and respect cultural heritage and broaden their horizons about cultural diversity. Suggestions for future investigations include extending the research and development activities by including a larger sample, which may provide greater statistical power to support research findings in the area of traditional games.

Enhancing Self-Esteem, Satisfaction, and Motor Skills through Gamification in Elementary Physical Education

“…These findings are consistent with previous research indicating that fun and interactive learning approaches can effectively facilitate the development of motor skills in elementary school students (Rizqi & Sutapa, 2019). The study found that using games and physical activities in learning can enhance children's gross motor skills (Aliriad et al, 2024;Nur et al, 2020;Sutapa & Suharjana, 2019). Similarly, research results have shown that integrating gaming elements into learning can improve coordination and motor control in elementary school students (Mujriah et al, 2022;Saputra et al, 2021;Suryadi et al, 2023).…”

Effect of training phased distance training method the archer's shooting ability

“…The stage is given with 3 distances, namely 10 metres, 20 metres and 30 metres with a frequency of exercise in a week as much as 4 times treatment and a total of 14 sessions including pre-test at the beginning and post-test results of research to determine the minimum score and final results of athletes. After the treatment of the drill method on athletes, it is found that there are influences that arise, one of which is the increase in the results of athletes training (Aliriad et al, 2024;Hendker & Eils, 2021). The increase in score also led to an increase in the athlete's confidence in archery to produce a consistent technique (Alfindo & Sasmarianto, 2023).…”
