The Effect of Teaching Game Approach to Improve Football Passing

Abstract

Physical Education teachers still use conventional and unvaried learning models, and the limitations of teachers in applying learning models result in students' skills in football games not being achieved. In addition, the tools used in learning are standard for professional players. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the learning model in football so that students are more active during learning and improve basic passing technique skills between boys and girls. The learning model applied is based on the 2013 physical education curriculum by taking one of the themes of games and sports. The research method used is experimental with pre-test and post-test designs. There is a division of groups to determine the effectiveness of the applied model (experimental and control groups). The sample in this study was 85 junior high school students (38 boys and 47 girls aged 12-15 years). The results of this study indicate that in the control group, there is a mean difference with the value t₀3,543>t_table2,030. In the experimental group, there is a mean difference with the value t₀29,605>t_table2,030. While the post-test results between the control and experimental groups showed a difference in the mean with the value t₀6,854>t_table1,989 significant 0,05. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the learning model applied is more effective in improving the essential technical skills of football passing in junior high school students. It should also be noted that the model used must be adapted to the characteristics of students so that it is more exciting and can be done during physical education learning. So students will be happier, more comfortable, and able to work together in understanding.
