Abstract

Background: At present, the process of physical education learning has incorporated the use of video-based interactive media, with the aim of optimising the achievement of learning outcomes. However, to the best of our knowledge, there remains a notable gap in research that explores the application of video-based interactive media in enhancing critical thinking and fostering greater interest in learning among students, particularly through mixed-method research. Research Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the impact of video-based interactive media on the development of critical thinking skills and the enhancement of students’ interest in learning physical education in junior high schools within Surabaya City. Methods: This study utilised a mixed-methods approach, with a research sample comprising 33 eighth-grade students who were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 17) using media-based learning and a control group (n = 16) employing traditional teaching methods. The research instruments included a critical thinking questionnaire, an interest in learning survey, and in-depth interviews to gather qualitative data. Finding/Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant increase in students’ critical thinking skills in the experimental group; the average post-test score increased to 59.1 (p < 0.05), while the control group showed 55.0. Thus, students’ interest in learning increased to 95.6 (p < 0.05), while the control group increased to 98.1. Qualitative findings showed that students using video-based interactive media expressed greater interest and demonstrated increased critical thinking due to the interactive and flexible nature of visual presentations. However, challenges related to technology access, such as reliance on internet connectivity and network stability, were identified as limiting factors. Conclusion: Our research confirms that involving video-based interactive media learning is an effective way to change critical thinking skills and interest in learning among students. This study contributes important information for teachers so that they can use video-based interactive media learning programs continuously in the future.

Abstract

Background: Pressure in the school environment, academic demands, and high social expectations often increase the vulnerability of children and adolescents to psychosocial problems. Bad interactions, such as bullying or social isolation, can contribute to their mental state and hinder their social engagement. Research Objectives: The aim is to determine the difference in the influence of a deliberately structured psychosocial learning model and a deliberately structured progressive learning model through traditional games on psychosocial development. Methods: This research used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-only control group design with a model of more than one experimental group and sample selection using a purposive sampling technique. The sample of this study was 60 fifth-grade students from a public elementary school. The instrument in this research was a questionnaire developed by students at the Wesleyan University Graduate School, namely the Class 7 Students' Psychosocial Adjustment Needs Questionnaire, with data analysis techniques using the t-test. Findings/Results: Psychosocial learning models that are deliberately structured progressively through traditional games can influence psychosocial development, as well as psychosocial learning models that are deliberately structured can influence psychosocial development. Conclusion: There is a significant difference between the deliberately structured psychosocial learning model and the progressive version in terms of elementary students’ psychosocial development. The progressive model gives continuous stimulation and better support for psychosocial formation because it builds on what has already been learnt. Teachers are encouraged to use more collaborative, contextual approaches to enhance students' social-emotional engagement. Future research should explore different regions or cultures and incorporate mixed methods for a deeper understanding of student experiences

Abstract

Background: Bullying remains a persistent issue in physical education (PE), often leading to decreased student participation, low self-confidence, and poor social interaction. While several anti-bullying interventions exist, few are tailored specifically to the PE context or leverage technology to promote engagement and resilience. This gap underscores the need for innovative, context-specific tools such as the CoBo application. Objectives: This study explores the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of the CoBo application—an interactive educational tool aimed at enhancing confidence, social skills, and participation in physical activities among primary school pupils. Methods: A research and development (R&D) approach was adopted, beginning with a needs analysis through interviews with PE teachers, students, and bullying victims. Finding/Results: Findings revealed a strong need for an engaging, supportive digital resource to help students cope with bullying and re-engage in PE. In response, CoBo was developed with modules targeting self-confidence, social competence, anti-bullying strategies, physical activities, and motivation. Prototype and pilot testing involving bullied students demonstrated improved self-efficacy, socialization, and PE participation. Conclusion: CoBo offers a promising technology-based solution for addressing bullying in PE settings. Future research should expand testing across diverse school populations to assess broader applicability and long-term impact.

Abstract

Background: Game-based learning (GBL) is widely used in physical education to enhance student motivation and fundamental motor skills (FMS). However, evidence from elementary school contexts, particularly using quasi-experimental designs with intact classes, remains limited.  Objectives: This study examined the effects of a 12-week game-based learning intervention on motivation and fundamental motor skills among elementary school students. Methods: A quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 34 elementary school students selected through purposive sampling. The 12-week intervention consisted of weekly 105-minute sessions of dexterity-based game learning. Motivation was measured using a validated questionnaire, while fundamental motor skills were assessed through an age-appropriate motor skills test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and paired-sample t-tests, with Cohen’s d calculated to estimate effect size. Finding/Results: The experimental group demonstrated significant increases in motivation and FMS from the pre-test to the post-test (p < 0.05). Although the effect size was small to medium, the observed increases reflect short-term positive changes following the intervention. Conclusion: The 12-week GBL intervention effectively enhanced motivation and FMS among elementary school students. While the findings support the use of GBL in physical education, the absence of a control group and potential class-level confounders limit causal interpretation. Future studies should employ randomized or controlled designs and include broader measures of engagement and motor competence.
