The Effectiveness of Multimedia Interactive Model on Pencak Silat Basic Motion Learning

Abstract

Technology-based interactive learning models have become extensively utilised as educational tools. The presence of it creates a unique educational environment. The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of interactive multimedia in enhancing the fundamental pencak silat motor skills of junior high school students in Palembang City. This study employed a quasi-experimental research design, specifically utilising a one-group pre-test and post-test experimental design. The research sample consisted of 80 junior high school students in Palembang City. The data was gathered by paperwork obtained from fundamental pencak silat movement assessments. The test data underwent normality testing using both the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Shapiro-Wilk test. The data analysis technique employed a two-sample paired t-test to determine the average. The Independent Samples Test yielded a t-value of 3.085 and a p-value of 0.000 0.05, indicating that the null hypothesis (Ho) can be rejected. Hence, it can be inferred that the interactive multimedia model positively impacts the enhancement of fundamental motor skills in junior high school pupils practicing pencak silat. The consequences of this research pertain to the necessity for physical education teachers in schools to possess innovative skills, specifically in using digital applications as educational tools.
