This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Nearpod-based learning of inside-foot passing in football among Grade VIII junior high school students. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a nonequivalent control group (pretest-posttest) design. The sample consisted of 60 students divided into an experimental class (n = 30; Nearpod-based learning) and a control class (n = 30; conventional learning). Learning outcome data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, an independent samples t-test, and N-Gain. The mean learning outcome of the experimental class increased from 52.40 to 81.20, while that of the control class increased from 51.80 to 68.40. The t-test on posttest scores showed a significant difference between the two classes (t(58) = 6.35; p < 0.001) with a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.64). The N-Gain of the experimental class was 0.61 (moderate), higher than that of the control class at 0.34 (moderate). Thus, Nearpod-based passing instruction was more effective in improving students' learning outcomes than conventional instruction.
