Abstract

Background: Swimming performance is fundamentally influenced by the interaction between anatomical structures and physiological functions, both of which determine movement efficiency, endurance capacity, and overall athletic performance. Despite the increasing number of studies examining these aspects separately, there is still no comprehensive bibliometric investigation that systematically maps the research landscape on anatomy and physiology in swimming. Objectives: This study employs bibliometric analysis to comprehensively identify and characterize research trends within the field of anatomy and physiology as they pertain to swimming over the past decade (2015-2025). Methods: This study systematically analyzed 371 Scopus-indexed publications concerning the anatomy and physiology of swimming, published within the decade spanning 2015 to 2025. To discern prominent research trends, we employed co-word analysis and text mining techniques, facilitated by VOSviewer software. Finding/Results: The bibliometric analysis indicated an absence of a consistent upward trend in research within the field of anatomy and physiology related to swimming. Peak publication years were observed in 2015 and 2017, each recording 58 documents. Geographically, the United States was the most prolific contributor, accounting for 173 published documents. Lauder, G.V., was identified as the most influential author, having individually contributed 12 publications. Regarding subject focus, Agricultural and Biological Sciences constituted the predominant area of research, representing 193 documents (29.2%) of the total publications in this domain. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of research on anatomy and physiology in swimming and identifies key contributors and emerging themes for future investigation.

Abstract

Developing students' critical thinking skills has become an increasingly important educational priority in the era of artificial intelligence. Despite the growing use of Augmented Reality (AR) in education, empirical evidence regarding its effectiveness in fostering elementary school students' critical thinking in science remains limited, particularly when integrated with Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This study investigated the effect of AR-assisted PBL on elementary students' critical thinking skills in science. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent pretest–posttest control group was employed involving 62 fifth-grade students (experimental group = 32; control group = 30). Both groups received identical problem-based science instruction on flora and fauna topics, while AR was integrated only into the experimental group. Students' critical thinking skills were assessed using an essay-based instrument developed according to the RED framework (Recognizing Assumptions, Evaluating Arguments, and Drawing Conclusions). Descriptive statistics and inferential analyses were conducted using an independent-samples t-test for the pretest and a one-tailed Mann–Whitney U test for the posttest. The findings revealed that students receiving AR-assisted PBL achieved significantly higher critical thinking scores than those receiving problem-based learning without AR (posttest mean = 81.72 vs. 75.83; p = 0.005), with a moderate educational effect (r = 0.329). These findings suggest that integrating interactive three-dimensional visualization within a problem-based learning environment facilitates scientific reasoning and supports the development of critical thinking beyond conceptual understanding alone. This study contributes to the growing literature on technology-enhanced science education by providing empirical evidence that AR functions most effectively as a pedagogical tool when embedded within inquiry-oriented learning environments. The findings also offer practical implications for designing more interactive and student-centered science instruction in elementary schools.

Abstract

Teacher performance is one of the key factors in improving the quality of education. One factor believed to influence teacher performance is the principal’s transformational leadership, both directly and through increased teacher job satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership on teacher job satisfaction and performance and to examine the role of job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The study employs a quantitative approach using a descriptive-verificative method. The sample consists of 76 elementary school teachers in Panjalu Subdistrict, Ciamis Regency, selected using a saturation sampling technique. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using path analysis. The results indicate that both transformational leadership and teacher job satisfaction fall into the high category. Transformational leadership was found to have a positive and significant effect on both teacher job satisfaction and performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction also had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance and acted as a mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and teacher performance. These findings suggest that the implementation of transformational leadership by school principals can enhance teachers’ job satisfaction, which ultimately leads to improved teacher performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of zig-zag training in improving ball control and agility in soccer extracurricular students at SMKN 1 Panyingkiran. This research used an experimental method with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design involving 40 students. Instruments used were wall pass test and Illinois Agility Test. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, normality test, and Paired Sample t-Test. Results showed a significant increase in ball control from 19.73 to 26.35 and agility from 19.35 seconds to 18.15 seconds. Zig-zag training proved effective in improving students' soccer skills
