<![CDATA[The purpose of making this thesis is to understand the impact of peer teaching methods in learning badminton on basic badminton hitting skills among grade VIII students of SMP Bintang Timur. To answer the research problems that have been stated, the author applies a quantitative approach by means of experiments. This research was carried out at SMP Bintang Timur by choosing one class as a sample, namely class VIII-B with a total of 26 students out of 187 students in five classes in class VIII.
