Abstract

Research Problems: Learning outcomes in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PESH) among elementary school students remain relatively low, particularly in game understanding (cognitive domain) and motor skills. One instructional model that has the potential to improve these learning outcomes is the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model implemented through the Zone Game approach. Research Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) learning model implemented through the Zone Game approach on the Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PESH) learning outcomes of students at SD Negeri 02 Ngasem. Methods: This study employed an experimental method using a pretest–posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 20 students, including 11 fifth-grade students assigned to the experimental group and 9 sixth-grade students assigned to the control group, comprising 14 boys and 6 girls. Data were collected using a cognitive test consisting of multiple-choice questions and motor skill tests assessing basketball passing and dribbling, as well as soccer kicking and dribbling skills. Both assessments were administered during the pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using tests of normality and homogeneity, followed by paired-samples t-tests and independent-samples t-tests. Results: The findings revealed that students in the TGfU group demonstrated significant improvements in both cognitive and motor learning outcomes based on the paired-samples t-test (p < .05). The independent-samples t-test indicated a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in motor skill outcomes (p = .010). However, no significant difference was found in cognitive learning outcomes between the two groups (p = .310). Conclusion: The Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) learning model implemented through the Zone Game approach was effective in improving Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PESH) learning outcomes, particularly students' motor skills. However, compared with conventional instruction, the model did not demonstrate a significant advantage in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes.

Abstract

Research Problems: Anxiety is one of the psychological factors that can affect athletes' performance during competition. Young athletes are more susceptible to competitive anxiety due to limited competitive experience, underdeveloped emotional regulation, and increasing demands to achieve high performance. Therefore, identifying athletes' anxiety levels is essential as a basis for developing effective mental training programs. Research Objectives: This study aimed to describe the level of competitive anxiety among swimming athletes in Age Groups (AG) 4 and 5 as a foundation for designing more effective mental training programs. Methods: This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach to examine the competitive anxiety levels of swimming athletes in Age Groups (AG) 4 and 5 during competition. The sample consisted of 38 athletes, including 20 males and 18 females. Data were collected using the Sport Development Tools Measuring Anxiety (SDTMA) questionnaire and analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distributions. Results: The findings revealed that 24 athletes (63%) were classified as having moderately low anxiety, 8 athletes (21%) had moderately high anxiety, and 6 athletes (16%) had low anxiety. No athletes were categorized as having high or very high anxiety. These results indicate that most athletes demonstrated a relatively good ability to manage competitive anxiety before and during competition. Conclusion: Overall, the competitive anxiety level of swimming athletes in Age Groups 4 and 5 was categorized as moderately low. Nevertheless, regular psychological monitoring and the implementation of structured mental training programs by coaches and sports psychology professionals remain necessary to help athletes manage competitive anxiety effectively, thereby optimizing their performance and competitive achievement.

Abstract

Research Problems: Joyfulness is an important affective component that plays a significant role in enhancing students’ engagement, motivation, and learning experiences in physical education. However, there is currently no instrument specifically designed to measure elementary school students’ joyfulness in the context of pickleball learning. The absence of a contextual and domain-specific instrument limits the accurate assessment of this affective construct, particularly within physical education in Indonesia. Research Objectives: This study aims to develop and psychometrically validate a joyfulness instrument for elementary school students in pickleball learning as a contextual and culturally appropriate measurement tool for Indonesian students. Methods: This study employed an instrument development design involving indicator construction, content validation, and construct validation. The instrument was developed based on five dimensions: (1) Emotional Joyfulness, (2) Enthusiasm and Excitement, (3) Satisfaction and Pride, (4) Comfort and Togetherness, and (5) Positive Motivation. The instrument consists of 30 Likert-scale items with four response options. Content validity was assessed by three experts using Aiken’s V. Construct validity was examined through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and second-order Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) involving 330 elementary school students in grades 4–6. Results: Content validity analysis showed an Aiken’s V value of 0.90, indicating a very high level of expert agreement. EFA results confirmed a five-factor structure consistent with the proposed theoretical framework. The second-order CFA indicated a good model fit. In addition, the instrument demonstrated high reliability and met the criteria for both convergent and discriminant validity. Conclusion: The developed joyfulness instrument demonstrates adequate psychometric properties and can be used as a valid and reliable tool to measure elementary school students’ joyfulness in pickleball learning. This instrument has the potential to support the assessment of affective learning outcomes in physical education and contribute to the development of more enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences.
