The effect of augmented reality-based breaststroke swimming learning model on deaf students

Abstract

Education is an important need for humans, through education a person gains knowledge and abilities that can be used as provisions for a better life in the future. The research aims to determine the effectiveness of the Augmented Reality-based breaststroke swimming learning model for students with hearing impairments at State SLB in Solo Raya in 2023. This study was an experimental study. The research design used was non-equivalent control group design. The sample in this study amounted to 22 students. Data collection in this study used a breaststroke swimming skill test for students with hearing impairments. The data analysis used was the t-test between groups (independent t-test), which distinguished breaststroke swimming skills in students with hearing impairments between the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group was the group that was treated with the breaststroke swimming learning model based on Augmented Reality, while the control group was treated with the conventional learning model. The results showed that there was a significant difference in breaststroke swimming skills in students with hearing impairments between the experimental group and the control group, indicated by tcount 3.084 with p < 0.05. Judging from the average, the experimental group that was treated with the breaststroke swimming learning model based on Augmented Reality was 18.00 higher than the average in the control group was 13.36. This shows that the product of the breaststroke learning model based on Augmented Reality is more effective than the conventional breaststroke learning model. The conclusion in this study is that the product of the breaststroke learning model based on Augmented Reality has an influence on the development of breaststroke swimming skills in students with hearing impairments.
