Abstract

Background: Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience delays in motor development and exhibit unstructured physical activity, which may hinder the acquisition of controlled motor skills. These limitations can negatively affect their overall physical health and quality of life. Although inclusive physical education has shown promise, limited research explores the impact of structured video modeling on this population. Research Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of an inclusive physical literacy model based on video modeling in improving motor skills and physical activity among students with ADHD. Method: An experimental design with a randomized control group pretest-posttest approach was used. The participants were 20 inclusive students diagnosed with ADHD. Motor skills were assessed using selected subtests from the test of gross motor development (TGMD), including horizontal jumping, hopping, and sprinting. Physical activity levels were measured using the physical activity questionnaire for children (PAQ-C). Finding/Results: Independent t-test analysis revealed a significant improvement in the intervention group compared to the control group. The posttest results showed significant differences in motor skills (p = 0.046) and physical activity levels (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The findings indicate that an inclusive physical literacy model incorporating video modeling can effectively enhance both motor skills and physical activity in students with ADHD. This approach supports not only physical development but also fosters better psychological and social outcomes. Future studies are encouraged to implement this model on a larger and more diverse scale.

Abstract

Background: Game-Centred Approaches (GCAs) have gained prominence in Physical Education (PE) for their potential to enhance student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes. However, their implementation still faces pedagogical and institutional challenges. Despite growing interest, a comprehensive understanding of research trends and knowledge structures in this area remains limited. This study addresses that gap. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyse the related literature implementation of GCAs in PE teaching, identify past and current research trends and attempt to predict possible future research trends.  Methods: A bibliometric approach was employed using data sourced from the Scopus database. VOSviewer software was utilized to visualize co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic clusters, allowing identification of influential authors, institutions, and evolving research topics. Findings/Results: The analysis revealed increasing scholarly attention toward GCAs as tools for developing students’ holistic learning—cognitive, social, and motor domains. Key themes included improving motor skills, decision-making, and tactical understanding through games. Recent trends also emphasize the importance of teacher training and professional development as critical to the effective integration of GCAs in PE. Conclusion: GCAs contribute significantly to the enhancement of student learning in PE. However, successful implementation depends on teacher readiness and ongoing pedagogical innovation. This study offers strategic insights for educators, curriculum designers, and researchers seeking to expand the application and impact of GCAs in physical education.

Abstract

Background: Bullying remains a critical issue affecting youth development in Indonesia, with a notable increase in reported cases between 2020 and 2023, particularly in junior high schools. Despite various large-scale interventions, bullying prevention embedded in the learning process itself—especially at the classroom level—has received limited attention. This study addresses the gap by exploring how learning-based strategies can serve as foundational solutions for broader bullying prevention efforts. Research Objectives: This systematic literature review aims to identify effective strategies for bullying prevention within both physical education (PE) and general education subjects, focusing on learning approaches that foster safe and inclusive classroom environments. Methods: A systematic review methodology was employed using the Publish or Perish application to extract data from CrossRef, Google Scholar, and Scopus. The PICO framework guided the research question, while the PRISMA flowchart structured the selection process. Finding/Results: From an initial pool of 2,799 articles, 10 met the inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis. The analysis reveals that bullying prevention has been implemented through subject-integrated strategies in PE, civics, Islamic education, and social studies. Cooperative learning models have proven especially effective in PE, while general subjects have benefited from the integration of affective values (e.g., Islamic and Pancasila values) with cooperative approaches such as Numbered Heads Together (NHT), Student Teams–Achievement Division (STAD), and Jigsaw. Conclusion: The findings suggest that integrating cooperative learning with affective value education is a promising strategy for bullying prevention across subjects. Such approaches not only reduce bullying but also promote character education and social interaction. This review underscores the need for further research to expand these strategies and address bullying as a complex, global challenge.

Abstract

Background: Social skills are essential for primary school students, yet few studies have examined the effectiveness of the Shaftel Role-Playing (RPS) model in Physical Education (PE), particularly in Indonesia. Objectives: This study aimed to examine and evaluate the effect of the Shaftel Role-Playing (RPS) model on the development of students’ social skills in Physical Education learning. Methods:  A one-group pretest–posttest design was implemented with 30 sixth-grade students selected through simple random sampling. The RPS intervention was delivered across 12 sessions (70 minutes each). Finding/Results: The analysis revealed a statistically significant improvement in students’ social skills following the implementation of the RPS model (Sig. = 0.013). The intervention demonstrated a medium effect size (Cohen’s d = 0.49), indicating that the model produced a meaningful and practically relevant impact on students’ social skill development. Conclusion: The findings confirm that the Shaftel Role-Playing (RPS) model significantly enhances elementary students’ social skills within Physical Education learning. This result highlights the model’s potential as an effective pedagogical strategy for fostering social competence in school-based contexts, although future studies using controlled designs are recommended to further validate these outcomes.

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: Innovative learning models are essential for enhancing fundamental athletic skills among primary school students. Traditional methods often fail to engage learners, leading to low participation and limited skill development in physical education (PE). There is a need for engaging, structured models that effectively combine physical activity with motivation and teamwork. Research Objectives: This study aims to design and evaluate the effectiveness of a circuit-based team competition model to improve basic athletic techniques in primary school PE. Method: A research and development (R&D) approach was used, involving 30 purposively selected students. The model was developed through expert validation and implemented over a five-week field trial. Data were collected using expert judgment forms and a fundamental athletics skill test. A one-sample t-test was conducted to assess pretest and posttest differences. Finding/Results: The implementation of the model resulted in significant improvements in students’ athletic performance. The mean score increased from 62.4 (SD = 5.3) to 78.6 (SD = 6.1), with a statistically significant result (t = 6.24; p < 0.001). Approximately 90% of students demonstrated notable improvement. The highest gains were observed in sprinting and mini hurdles, which also showed strong instrument validity (r = 0.68–0.69). Conclusion: The circuit-based team competition model is effective in enhancing primary students’ basic athletic skills while also boosting motivation and active participation. This study offers a promising approach for improving learning strategies in physical education.

Abstract

Background: Swimming instruction in higher education is still predominantly characterised by teacher-centred approaches, with limited empirical evidence examining the effectiveness of student-centred and integrated pedagogical models. In particular, little is known about the comparative impact of combining multiple learning approaches on swimming skill development across different swimming styles. Objectives: This study aimed to (i) examine the effects of an integrated learning (IL) model—combining problem-based learning (PBL), project-based learning (PjBL), digital learning media, and peer assessment—on students’ swimming learning outcomes across four swimming styles, and (ii) compare the effectiveness of the IL model with single PBL and PjBL approaches. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest group design was employed involving 93 university students enrolled in a swimming course. Participants were assigned to three groups: IL, PBL, and PjBL. Data was analysed using paired-samples t-tests to examine within-group effects, two-way ANOVA to identify between-group differences, and Tukey HSD post hoc tests. Effect sizes and confidence intervals were also calculated. Finding/Results: The IL model produced significant improvements in swimming performance across butterfly, breaststroke, backstroke, and freestyle techniques, with large effect sizes observed in all styles. Comparative analyses revealed that the IL group achieved significantly higher learning outcomes than both the PBL and PjBL groups, while no significant difference was found between PBL and PjBL. Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that an integrated learning model that combines multiple student-centred pedagogical approaches, digital learning media, and peer assessment is more effective than single-method approaches in university-level swimming education. This model offers a promising pedagogical framework for enhancing swimming instruction and warrants further investigation across different educational levels and learning contexts.

Abstract

Background: Job satisfaction among physical education (PE) teachers is a critical factor influencing instructional quality, work motivation, and long-term professional commitment. However, there is currently no comprehensive and standardized instrument specifically designed to measure the job satisfaction of PE teachers within the Indonesian context. Research Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Indonesian Physical Education Teacher Job Satisfaction Scale (IPET-JSS), an adapted and contextually modified version of Spector’s Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), tailored specifically for PE teachers in Indonesia. Method: A cross-sectional quantitative survey design was employed. A total of 300 PE teachers from primary, junior secondary, and senior/vocational high schools—both public and private—in Bengkulu City participated. The IPET-JSS comprises 36 items across nine dimensions (pay, promotion, supervision, fringe benefits, contingent rewards, operating procedures, coworkers, nature of work, and communication), rated on a 6-point Likert scale. Construct validity was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and reliability was examined via Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability (CR). Finding/Results: All items showed factor loadings above 0.50. The Cronbach’s alpha for each dimension ranged from 0.75 to 0.86, and CR values exceeded 0.70, indicating strong internal consistency. Coworkers and Nature of Work were the highest-rated dimensions, while Pay and Operating Procedures received the lowest scores. The CFA results supported a good model fit (CFI > 0.90; RMSEA < 0.08), affirming the structural validity of the IPET-JSS. Conclusion: The IPET-JSS is a psychometrically sound instrument for assessing job satisfaction among Indonesian PE teachers. It holds promise for use in both research and practice, particularly in teacher evaluation, educational policy development, and professional development planning. Future studies are recommended to explore its cross-contextual validity and associations with other psychosocial constructs.

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.
