This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of combining the part method and practice method in improving learning outcomes in basic mini-volleyball skills among elementary school students. Employing a quasi-experimental design (One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design), the study involved 20 fourth-grade male students from SD Negeri Barurambat Kota VII Pamekasan, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was conducted over six sessions (12 × 35 minutes). Motor skill data were collected using standardized tests (AAHPER, Brumbach, and Stanley) and analyzed using a paired-samples t-test and effect size calculation (Cohen’s d). The results demonstrated significant improvements (p < 0.001) across all variables: overhead passing increased by 45.53% (t = 13.161; d = 1.16), spiking increased by 37.50% (t = 9.658; d = 1.28), serving accuracy increased by 29.05% (t = 15.785; d = 1.68), and underhand passing increased by 19.01% (t = 8.759; d = 0.36). It was concluded that the synthesis of the part method and practice method was effective in optimizing the acquisition of complex motor skills through technical decomposition and repetition-based automatization. Therefore, this approach is recommended as an evidence-based practical guideline for physical education (PE) teachers.
