Abstract

The objectives to be achieved in this study are knowing the level of the mental toughness of student-athletes in Bengkulu City. This research applies a quantitative descriptive method through a causal-comparative design. The research population was 34 student-athletes from 5 sports. Determination of the sample using purposive random sampling. Data were collected using the Mental Toughness in Sport Questionnaire instrument. The data analysis technique uses standard deviation and the ideal mean to determine the level of the mental toughness of student-athletes, meanwhile to determine the level of the mental toughness of student-athletes who are reviewed based on sport and gender by hypothesis testing (one-way ANOVA and t-test) using SPSS. The results of data analysis found the category of the mental toughness of student-athletes in Bengkulu City was very high and there were no differences in the mental toughness of athletes from each sport and gender. However, this study has not yet discussed the strategies and mental training programs implemented by athletes in each sport. Therefore, it is recommended that researchers who have an interest in continuing this research are advised to study further the strategies and programs of athletes' mental training.

Abstract

The success of the physical education learning process is determined by the teachers’ professional competence. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of professional competence of physical education teachers in Bengkulu Province, with the main objective being to describe and determine the level of professional competence of teachers and the differences based on several variables, namely gender, teaching location, and teaching experience. A quantitative descriptive method was implemented in this study to achieve the research objectives. The research sample was 49 physical education teachers in Bengkulu Province. Techniques and instruments for collecting research data were in the form of receipts which were distributed via GoogleForm. An Independent sample t-test was used to analyze data regarding differences in the professional competence of physical education teachers based on gender. Meanwhile, one-way ANOVA was used to analyze differences in the professional competence of physical education teachers based on teaching location and teaching experience. The results of this study indicated that physical education teachers in Bengkulu Province have a very high level of professional competence, and there were no differences in teachers' professional competence based on gender, teaching location, or teaching experience. The limitations of this research included the involvement of a relatively small number of samples, the restriction of samples to public schools, and a lack of diversity in the sample variations. For further research, it is advisable to involve a larger number of samples from private schools and islamic schools. It was also recommended that physical education teachers develop competence in conducting classroom action research.

Abstract

Background: The decline in children’s physical activity in Papua poses a serious concern, particularly due to its negative impact on health and motor skill development. Limited multi-skill proficiency among young children contributes to reduced engagement in physical activities. Despite global efforts to promote physical literacy, few interventions have focused on culturally relevant and age-appropriate activities to improve multi-skills in early childhood, especially in underserved regions like Papua. Research Objectives: This study aimed to improve the multi-skill development of 6-7-year-old elementary school students through the implementation of the Kids’ Athletics Level 1 program, incorporating locally adapted games such as “Crocodile River,” “Socorro,” and “Meo Duoi Chuot.” Methods: A quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach was employed. A total of 50 students aged 6-7 years were selected via purposive sampling. The Indonesian Physical Fitness Test was used to assess outcomes, including sit-and-reach, one-leg standing balance, tennis ball catch-and-throw, shuttle run, and an 800-meter run. Paired-sample t-tests were conducted to evaluate differences between pretest and posttest scores. Findings/Results: The analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ multi-skill performance (p < 0.05). The findings support the integration of the Kids' Athletics program into school curricula as an effective strategy to enhance motor competence in early childhood. Conclusion: The Kids’ Athletics Level 1 model, enriched with culturally adapted games, proves effective in developing fundamental multi-skills in young children. Physical Education teachers are encouraged to adopt this model alongside other programs to optimize physical development in early learners, particularly those in low-activity regions such as Papua.

Abstract

Background: The integration of the Pancasila Student Profile (PSP) in physical education (PE) learning represents a significant endeavour to align educational practices with national values and aspirations. Through rigorous research and thoughtful implementation strategies, educators can harness the transformative potential of PE to cultivate socially responsible citizens who embody the spirit of Pancasila in their actions and interactions within the broader Indonesian society. Research Objectives: The aim of this research is to determine the level of integration of Pancasila student profiles in physical education learning in Bengkulu City. Methods: The quantitative research method was used to achieve this goal. The sample was 432 students whose taken randomly among the elementary school, middle school, and high school. The instrument in this research was a questionnaire. The data was analysed using the mean ideal and the deviation standard ideal. Finding/Results: The integration of the PSP in schools in the city of Bengkulu has four different categories. In the very high category, the frequency is 51; in the high category, the frequency is 301; in the moderate category, the frequency is 78; and in the low category, the frequency is 2. Conclusion: The Pancasila profile of students learning PE in Bengkulu City is well implemented. The novelty of integrating the PSP into PE learning lies in its unique approach to instilling national values and character education in the PE curriculum. This integration aims to encourage holistic student development by combining physical education learning with the values of God Almighty, independence, global diversity, cooperation, critical thinking, and creative thinking, which are the core of the Pancasila student profile.

Abstract

Background: Game-based learning (GBL) is widely used in physical education to enhance student motivation and fundamental motor skills (FMS). However, evidence from elementary school contexts, particularly using quasi-experimental designs with intact classes, remains limited.  Objectives: This study examined the effects of a 12-week game-based learning intervention on motivation and fundamental motor skills among elementary school students. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 34 elementary school students selected through purposive sampling. The 12-week intervention consisted of weekly 105-minute sessions of dexterity-based game learning. Motivation was measured using a validated questionnaire, while fundamental motor skills were assessed through an age-appropriate motor skills test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and paired-sample t-tests, with Cohen’s d calculated to estimate effect size. Finding/Results: The experimental group demonstrated significant increases in motivation and FMS from the pre-test to the post-test (p < 0.05). Although the effect size was small to medium, the observed increases reflect short-term positive changes following the intervention. Conclusion: The 12-week GBL intervention effectively enhanced motivation and FMS among elementary school students. While the findings support the use of GBL in physical education, the absence of a control group and potential class-level confounders limit causal interpretation. Future studies should employ randomized or controlled designs and include broader measures of engagement and motor competence.
