Abstract

This study was aimed to find out the students’ difficulties in learning reading comprehension at a public high school in Bangka and the factors students have the difficulties. The subject of this study were the students of eighth grade in Bangka. Descriptive qualitative method was used. After the students’ test scores were obtained, then the students’ difficulties were analyzed. After that, the number of difficulties was counted by tabulating and calculating the results. The difficulties faced by the students were difficulty in answering main idea questions (53,67%), vocabulary questions (47,84%), and making inference questions (45,34%). Four factors were found causing the students’ difficulties, those are students’ interest in learning reading because they do not have the desire to read English text and they are not interested in reading. The second factor is students’ difficulties in reading text and translating the English meaning. The third factor is lack of facility in their school since it did not provide enough reading material for them. And the last factor is house environment, the role of a parent at home to give child support is crucial.

Abstract

The development of young athletes requires serious attention to mental aspects, including in baseball. They need to receive mental training from an early age to maintain their motivation to participate and practice sports. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of goal-setting training in increasing the motivation of young baseball players under the age of 16 who are trained by local governments. This method uses a three-cycle action research design to observe the gradual increase in athlete motivation to determine increase in athlete motivation. The instrument used is the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) questionnaire (McAuley et al., 1989), which consists of four aspects, with the following reliability coefficients: interest-enjoyment (r=0.78); perceived competence (r=0.80); effort-importance (r=0.84); and tension-pressure (r=0.68). The results of the study in cycle I showed an increase in motivation from a score of 71.61 (86.28%) to 73.94 (89.09%). The results of cycle II showed an increase in motivation scores to 75.89 (91.43%), and the results of cycle III showed an increase in motivation scores to 76.22 (91.83%). Thus, it can be concluded that mental training interventions in the form of goal-setting exercises have succeeded in increasing the motivation of baseball athletes. More holistic mental training is needed to improve the mental skills of baseball athletes in the future.

Abstract

This study aimed to adapt and validate the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) for Indonesian futsal student-athletes within the framework of Self-Determination Theory. A cross-cultural psychometric adaptation process was conducted, including translation, synthesis, back-translation, expert judgment, and field testing. Data were collected from 61 student-athletes, and content validity was assessed using Aiken’s V, yielding a strong result (V = 0.85). The IMI demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.869) and significant interdimensional correlations, such as between perceived competence and enjoyment-interest (r = 0.516, p < .001). The mean intrinsic motivation score (M = 75.84) indicated a moderately high level of motivation among participants. These findings confirm that the adapted IMI is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring intrinsic motivation among futsal athletes in Indonesia. Theoretically, the study supports Self-Determination Theory in a team-sport context, and practically, it provides a culturally relevant tool for coaches and sport psychologists to assess and enhance athlete motivation.
