Abstract

Rigid and monotonous classroom management at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah level often becomes an obstacle to achieving effective learning, which results in low student motivation and engagement in the classroom. This phenomenon requires a transformation of teacher strategies to create a more dynamic and supportive learning atmosphere. This study aims to analyze classroom management strategies implemented by teachers in creating a joyful learning environment and evaluate their impact on the academic climate at Madrasah Tsanawiyah. This study uses a mixed methods approach with a triangulation design. The research subjects involved students in grades 9.1 (n=15) and 9.2 (n=13) at MTs As'adiyah Cabenge. Quantitative data were collected through a questionnaire on student perceptions regarding learning comfort, while qualitative data were obtained through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with teachers regarding spatial arrangement techniques, interaction management, and positive reinforcement. The research findings indicate that the implementation of the Joyful Learning strategy through flexible seating arrangements, icebreaker integration, and a personalized approach can significantly increase student engagement scores in both classes. The results of the data analysis show that despite the relatively small number of students (a total of 28 students), a joy-centered classroom management approach is effective in reducing learning anxiety and increasing cohesion among students at MTs As'adiyah Cabenge. Theoretically, this study strengthens the literature on the urgency of affective-based classroom management in religious schools. Practically, this study provides strategic guidance for educators at Madrasah Tsanawiyah to design a hidden curriculum that prioritizes students' psychological well-being without neglecting academic discipline.

Abstract

Goal-shooting skills are crucial in soccer, but student performance is often hampered by a lack of integration between physical and psychological aspects during training. At State Islamic High School 2 Soppeng, the specific determinants that most influence the accuracy and power of extracurricular soccer students have not been thoroughly identified. This study aims to analyze and prove the influence of balance, leg strength, and motivation as the main determinants of shooting skills in extracurricular soccer students at State Islamic High School 2 Soppeng. This study used a quantitative approach with path analysis techniques. The study sample consisted of 30 middle-aged students in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data collection instruments included a balance test, a vertical jump to measure leg strength, a questionnaire for motivation, and a standardized shooting skills test. The results of the inferential analysis showed that all three variables had a significant direct effect on shooting performance (p < 0.05). Leg strength was found to be the most dominant factor (β = 0.418), confirming the importance of muscle explosiveness in generating ball speed. Balance plays a vital role in maintaining body stability when supporting (β = 0.342), while motivation acts as a psychological catalyst that strengthens technical mastery (β = 0.295). Contribution: This study provides practical contributions for coaches and sports teachers in designing a comprehensive training curriculum. The findings recommend a synergy between physical conditioning training (stability and explosive power) with strengthening intrinsic motivation to optimize students' technical potential in soccer.
