Abstract

This study examined the mastery of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) for Physical Education (PE) teachers candidates from low-income families. Candidate teachers from low-income families have less access to information technology, so this research examines the mastery level of TPACK among physical education teachers from low-income families. This research used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The survey instrument utilized a TPACK survey to assess the mastery of technology in the teaching and learning process. The participants involved in this study were 146 students who received the Kartu Indonesia Pintar (KIP) Scholarship (government scholarship) and came from low-income families. The results showed that the candidate teachers were included in a Good TPACK skills category. This result indicates that low income does not affect the ability to master TPACK skills. This study rejects the notion that low-income students have low mastery of technology.

The study aims to develop two educational programs based on the SWOT matrix and mind mapping to teach chess tactics and examine these programs' impact on enhancing specific mental abilities and reflective thinking. Due to the experimental approach being appropriate for the study's nature, the researcher used it. Academically talented first-year intermediate female students from five different schools in Mosul made up the research population. The total number of students was 560. Al-Mosul High School was randomly selected to conduct the main experiment. The school included 130 students distributed across three classes: Class (A) with 40 students, Class (B) with 45 students, and Class (C) with 45 students. Class (C) was designated the first group (experimental) through a lottery system, taught using the SWOT matrix. Class (B) was defined as the second experimental group taught using the mind mapping strategy. Class (A) served as the control group, which was taught using the traditional method. Meanwhile, Al-Hadbaa Secondary School was used to conduct the pilot experiments. The researcher adopted an equivalent group design. The instructional lessons for the three research groups lasted for (20) instructional units, with two units per week, over a duration of (10) weeks. The statistical analysis was conducted using the various methods. According to the findings, students in the first experimental group—who were instructed using the SWOT matrix—performed better than those in the second experimental group and the control group in every area of attention and associated times. Additionally, the students in the second group (experimental), who were taught using mind mapping, outperformed the students in the first experimental group and the control group in all reflective thinking skills

Abstract

The back kick is a technique in the seventh move of pencak silat single art that requires body rotation and kicking without looking at the target, so its execution is often inaccurate. The purpose of this study is to analyse the back kick technique in the single art category using a biomechanical approach. The method used was descriptive analysis with purposive sampling, involving six active athletes in the single art category. Data were collected through observation and documentation, and the Kinovea 0.9.5 application was used for motion analysis, focusing on the execution phase, particularly to measure the kicking angle and the distance between the supporting hand and foot. The results of the study showed that the athletes' kicking techniques met the appropriate criteria. The average distance between the supporting hand and foot was 45.81 ± 14.67 cm, with a range of 24.34 cm to 65.10 cm, while the average kicking angle reached 101.17° ± 12.73°, ranging from 86.5° to 118.2°. Out of the six athletes, three achieved the optimal kicking angle, influenced by the balance between the distance between the hands and feet and the body flexion angle. The more ideal the distance between the hands and feet and the body flexion angle, the higher and more stable the kick produced. Further research is expected to examine the analysis of back kicks in greater depth and specificity, including aspects such as speed, distance, angle, body segmentation, strength, and the muscles involved.

Abstract

Trampoline Dance, a dynamic aerobic exercise conducted on a trampoline, integrates physical training with creativity, providing cardiovascular and mental health advantages. This study examines the impact of Trampoline Dance on physical and mental well-being through a quasi-experimental design including 50 students from the PKO program at Tunas Pembangunan University. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test was employed for data analysis due to the ordinal characteristics of the data, which made parametric tests inappropriate. The findings indicated substantial enhancements in both physical and mental health indicators among individuals in the experimental group, who practiced frequent trampoline dancing, in contrast to the control group. Participants demonstrated improved cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, balance, and mental health outcomes, including less anxiety and heightened self-confidence. The findings indicate that Trampoline Dance is an efficacious and pleasurable fitness intervention that enhances both physical and psychological well-being, rendering it appropriate for integration into contemporary fitness regimens.
