Abstract

This study investigates the role of physical education in fostering positive character development among elementary school students, focusing on collaboration, discipline, responsibility, and respect. The research addresses a gap in understanding the broader impact of physical education beyond physical fitness, emphasizing its potential to shape students' social and moral values. The study was conducted at SD Negeri Mamajang 3 Makassar using a qualitative design, involving interviews with teachers and students, classroom observations, and data analysis. A total of 30 students participated in the study, representing diverse demographic backgrounds. The findings reveal that physical education significantly contributes to character development. Approximately 60% of students demonstrated a high level of collaboration, while 67% showed strong discipline in adhering to instructions and maintaining punctuality. Responsibility was evident in 40% of students who actively assumed leadership roles, and respect was the most dominant character, with 73% of students displaying respectful behavior toward peers. These results highlight the effectiveness of structured physical education programs in promoting positive character traits through teamwork-based and leadership-oriented activities. The study concludes that physical education is a critical tool for holistic student development, providing both physical and character-building benefits. However, the research is limited to a single school and primarily relies on qualitative methods, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings. Future research should explore longitudinal studies and include larger, more diverse samples to strengthen the validity and applicability of the results. Policymakers and educators are encouraged to integrate character-building strategies into physical education curricula to enhance student development comprehensively.

Abstract

As a sport that involves physical contact (body contact), futsal carries a significant risk of injury for its players. A futsal athlete may sustain an injury during practice, competition, or after either activity. The average level of physical fitness among rookie futsal players in Majalengka Regency is 250.00, and their average risk of sports injuries is 33.12. The number derived from correlation analysis is -0.607529. The strong relationship category includes this value. The likelihood of damage is thereby reduced with increasing physical fitness. One of the things that helps reduce the chance of an athlete getting hurt is fitness.

Abstract

Learning modelThis study aimed to develop and evaluate a modified volleyball-based learning model (V-ENGAGE) to enhance student engagement in physical education (PE) at SMK Negeri 7 Makassar. Using a research and development (R&D) design with a quantitative pretest-posttest approach, data were collected from 60 students through engagement questionnaires and performance-based volleyball skill tests. The V-ENGAGE model integrates modified games, collaborative tasks, reflective discussions, and contextual relevance tailored to vocational high school settings. Results showed a significant increase in student engagement across behavioral, emotional, and cognitive domains. The average engagement score improved from 64.2 (pretest) to 83.7 (posttest), indicating a 30.3% enhancement. Volleyball skills also improved, with mean scores rising from 68.5 to 86.1 in the final assessment (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that the V-ENGAGE model effectively boosts both engagement and learning outcomes in PE. The study concludes that a modified volleyball learning model, when pedagogically aligned to students’ needs and school context, can promote meaningful and active participation in physical education. The model can serve as a strategic tool for PE teachers to improve student motivation and performance.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the relationship between physical education (PE) learning outcomes, basic motor skills, and students’ sports preferences at SMP Negeri 33 Makassar. A correlational quantitative research design with a descriptive-analytic approach was employed. The sample consisted of 120 students from grades VII and VIII, selected through stratified random sampling. Data collection involved PE learning scores, motor skill tests (20-meter sprint, standing long jump, ball throw, one-leg balance), and a structured questionnaire measuring sports preferences. Descriptive statistics showed that the average PE score was 78.5 (SD = 7.2), while motor skill test scores varied: sprint (mean = 4.9 seconds, SD = 0.5), long jump (mean = 1.7 meters, SD = 0.3), ball throw (mean = 8.2 meters, SD = 1.1), and balance (mean = 12.4 seconds, SD = 3.2). Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive relationships between PE learning outcomes and sports preferences (r = 0.54, p < 0.01), and between motor skills and sports preferences (r = 0.62, p < 0.01). Multiple regression indicated that PE learning outcomes and motor skills together explained 37.1% of the variance in sports preferences (R² = 0.371, p < 0.001), with motor skills having a stronger predictive influence (β = 0.48). These findings emphasize the importance of integrating cognitive and motor skill development in PE programs to enhance students’ interest in sports. This study contributes to improving physical education strategies to promote active lifestyles among adolescents.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the accessibility and utilization of tennis facilities in public sports centers and assess their implications for community engagement in Makassar City, Indonesia. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research combined quantitative surveys (n=200) and qualitative interviews (n=20) across four major public tennis venues: Karebosi, Panakkukang, Antang, and Sudiang. The primary variables examined were physical accessibility, facility utilization, demographic reach, and community participation indicators. Findings show that Karebosi Sports Center scored highest in accessibility (mean score = 8.5/10) and average weekly utilization (75 users/week), followed by Panakkukang (8.0; 62 users/week), while Antang and Sudiang scored significantly lower in both accessibility (6.4 and 6.2, respectively) and utilization (38 and 33 users/week). Facility condition and management support were significantly correlated (r = 0.71; p < 0.01) with higher utilization rates. Demographically, adults (ages 26–45) made up 52% of users, while youth (15–25) accounted for 38%, particularly high at Panakkukang due to structured youth programs. Elderly participation remained low across all sites (≤5%), signaling a lack of inclusive programming. Only 2 out of 4 facilities hosted community engagement activities (e.g., tournaments, clinics), and these were directly associated with higher user satisfaction and retention. The study concludes that infrastructure quality, inclusive programming, and active community outreach are critical in maximizing the social value of public tennis facilities. Policy recommendations include improved funding, participatory facility management, and integrated sport-for-all strategies to enhance community engagement and public health in urban Makassar.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of a modified badminton-based physical education learning model in improving students' motor skills at SMA Negeri 16 Makassar. Using a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group, 60 students were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received the modified badminton-based PE intervention for 8 weeks, while the control group followed the standard PE curriculum. Motor skills were assessed using validated instruments from TGMD-3 and MABC-2, including agility (shuttle run), balance (stork stand), coordination (wall toss), reaction time (ruler drop), and speed (30-meter sprint). Posttest results indicated statistically significant improvements in all motor skill domains for the experimental group: agility improved by 19.6%, balance by 21.3%, coordination by 17.4%, reaction time by 15.7%, and speed by 12.8% (p < 0.05). In contrast, the control group showed minimal changes. These findings suggest that badminton-based physical education is highly effective in enhancing students’ motor competencies. The study recommends integrating modified sport-specific models into PE curricula to promote motor skill development and physical literacy.
