Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating volleyball play into elementary science instruction as a contextual and embodied approach to improving students’ conceptual understanding of projectile motion. A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed involving 60 fifth-grade students from an Indonesian public elementary school, divided into an experimental group receiving volleyball-based instruction and a control group receiving conventional instruction. Conceptual understanding was assessed using a validated two-tier test, along with student engagement surveys and observations of implementation fidelity. Results indicated that the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M = 82.67, SD = 6.91) than the control group (M = 68.40, SD = 8.14), with a medium–high normalized gain (N-Gain = 0.68) compared to the control group (N-Gain = 0.43). ANCOVA results confirmed a significant effect of the instructional approach on posttest performance after controlling for pretest differences, F(1,57) = 28.89, p < .001, partial η² = .334, indicating a large effect size. Student engagement levels were also significantly higher in the experimental group across the attention, participation, and enthusiasm dimensions (p < .01). These findings suggest that embedding structured physical play into science instruction is an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing both conceptual understanding and engagement in elementary physics learning.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed how students access information, yet many university libraries still struggle to provide services that meet the specific needs of specialized disciplines. This study aims to develop a library service model tailored to the specific characteristics of Sports and Health Science students. The development focuses on leveraging information technology through native applications for Android and iOS. Following a 4-D research and development (R&D) framework, data were collected using three instruments: assessments from subject matter experts, media experts, and students, complemented by in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were processed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel software. Descriptive analysis was employed to outline respondent characteristics, user satisfaction levels, and overall data distribution, while inferential statistical tests, including t-tests and ANOVA, were used to identify significant differences between respondent groups. The research resulted in an IT-based library service product that achieved a high validity score of 4.72 on a 5-point scale. Validity and reliability analysis using product-moment correlation confirmed that all questionnaire items were significantly correlated with total scores (p<0.05). Comparative analysis before and after application implementation regarding learning quality showed significant improvements. In conclusion, the implementation of this IT-based library application is effective in enhancing learning quality.
