Abstract

Background Problems: Wrestling is a compulsory course that can improve physical strength, discipline, and strategic skills and student learning outcomes. However, the learning outcomes are still not optimal due to inconsistent training, limited technique understanding, and a lack of independent training opportunities. Research Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of motor education level and circuit training on proficiency in learning wrestling martial arts techniques. Methods: This study used an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group where there are two groups, the high motor ability group and the low motor ability group. The population consists of 40 students, and a sample of 20 students was selected using purposive sampling techniques based on certain criteria. Motor ability in this study is defined as an individual's ability to learn and develop motor skills, which is used to measure how quickly and efficiently a person can learn new motor movements. Data collection was done by measuring the level of motor ability and evaluating the techniques of wrestling after a period of practice. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 23 statistical software to evaluate the learning outcomes of the basic techniques of wrestling. Findings/Results: The results of the data analysis showed that overall, there were no significant differences between the two groups. However, when looking closely at the level of motor skills, there are differences in the post-test scores between students with high and low motor skills. Conclusion: The conclusions of the study showed that although there were no significant differences between the two groups, the high motor skills group showed more consistent improvements. Future research could focus on the development of physical and mental skills such as endurance, strength, and discipline, which are important in improving wrestlers’ performance.

Abstract

Background Problems: Responsibility is an important part for students to study at university. In the learning process, students arrive late to take part in learning and do not complete assignments or even do not do them. By using Sport Education (SE) students are given assignments in a role to be responsible for the success of learning. SE has a strong connection to the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum with students as the center of learning. Research Objectives: The aim of this research is to find out the responsibilities of each subscale according to the student's role after using SE and to test the effect of using SE on student responsibilities. Methods: The research method uses experimentation with a one-shot case study design. The participants involved in this research were 53 students at one of the universities in the sports studies program in Indramayu who were taken using convenience sampling techniques. The research instrument used the Contextual Self-Responsibility Questionnaire for sports program students. The data analysis technique uses statistical descriptions to determine the mean and standard deviation and tests hypotheses using the one-sample t test. Finding/Results: This research provides new findings regarding student responsibilities using SE at university level, especially in Indonesia as a support for the MBKM curriculum. Conclusion: This research concludes that there is an influence after using SE on student responsibility. Further investigation is needed regarding the administration of pretests, the existence of comparison classes, and the development of instruments to facilitate all roles according to the characteristics of roles in SE.

Abstract

Background Problems: Histology is a critical component of the sports science curriculum, as it thoroughly explains the connection between the structure and function of cells, tissues, and organs. Research Objective: This study investigates the improvement of histology learning among sports science students by employing a functional approach and practical sessions with virtual microscopy. Methods: The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with 103 students from the Sports Science program, enrolled in a histology course with two parallel classes. The students were divided into experimental (n = 56) and control groups (n = 46) using cluster random sampling based on their classes. The experimental group received instruction using virtual microscopy, while the control group was taught using light microscopy throughout the semester. Both groups were assessed on their learning outcomes at the end of the semester through a written exam. Experimental group students also provided feedback on the courses. Using the independent t-test, the learning outcomes were compared between groups. Students’ feedback was analysed descriptively. Findings and Results: The results revealed that the average test scores for participants in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (74.9 ± 7.8 and 68.9 ± 9.6, respectively). Student feedback indicated that the majority concurred that the functional approach to histology teaching enhanced their understanding of histological structures. They also noted that practical virtual microscopy sessions improved their comprehension of the topics studied. Additionally, nervous tissue was identified as the most challenging tissue to learn, primarily due to visualisation difficulties in relating microscopic and macroscopic structures and the abundance of new terminology to remember. Conclusion: The findings suggest that combining a functional approach with virtual microscopy notably enhances the quality of histology education, equipping sports science students with a comprehensive understanding and essential practical skills for their academic and professional development.
