Impact of Hadang and Bentengan Game on Students’ Physical Fitness Levels

This research aims to determine the effectiveness of blocking and fortification games on the physical fitness level of elementary school students. The research method used was experimental using a two-group pretest-posttest design. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and the sample consisted of 54 students. Data collection techniques are 1) documents taken from the results of learning notes during the treatment delivery process, and 2) physical fitness tests is to know physical fitness level. The data analysis technique uses the t-test, but the data analysed must have a normal distribution so that the level of normality and homogeneity of the data is first tested. The t-test results for the Hadang and Bentengan games showed statistically significant increases in physical fitness (e.g., t = 29.105 for Hadang, t = 21.236 for Bentengan, both p 0.05)., so it can be concluded that there was an increase in physical fitness through the Bentengan game. Students' physical fitness levels experienced a significant increase in sprints, pull-ups, sit-ups, vertical jumps and short-distance running activities. The results of this research also have implications for the development of various types of traditional games for other physical fitness learning activities or other health, sports and physical fitness learning activities. Teachers can design types of games as teaching techniques and can be adjusted to the age needs of students such as for elementary or junior high school levels.

활동중심 진로교육 프로그램이 초등학교 저학년의 진로인식에 미치는 효과

Objectives Through this study, we would like to find out how activity-oriented career education programs affect the career perception of lower elementary school students. The purpose is to analyze the effect of activity-oriented career education programs considering learners' interest and development characteristics on elementary school career perception and present basic data to strengthen elementary school career education.
 Methods To this end, the researcher developed a total of 12 activity-oriented career education programs. In order to verify the effectiveness of the above program, we used the test tool of Choi Hyejin(2017), which modified and supplemented the career awareness test developed by Yoonkyung Eo(2008) in the ‘Research on the Development of Career Awareness Test for Elementary School Students’ to suit the level of elementary school students. To find out the effect of the activity-based career education program on career recognition for lower grades of elementary school, a statistical analysis was conducted on the changes of the two groups before and after the experiment.
 Results Compared to before the experiment, the overall score of the experimental group increased significantly after the experiment was completed, indicating that the activity-based career education program had a positive effect on the career perception of lower elementary school students. In addition, as a result of analyzing the pre- and post-test results of the experimental group and the control group, career recognition scores did not increase in the control group without applying the activity-based career education program, while career recognition scores of the experimental group applied the program increased significantly.
 Conclusions The activity-oriented program developed in consideration of the development characteristics and interests of lower-grade elementary school students had a positive effect on cultivating students' career awareness. Through this, it is necessary to actively develop career education programs that are different from games, activities, and experiences that lower-grade students can experience in school, and to develop healthy self-concept and proper job values through career education.

Journaling program development as an effort to improve student literacy skills

The phenomenon of the low literacy level of elementary school students that occurs at UPTD SDN 3 Kerticala has an impact on students' common writing and reading skills.

A Study of Directions for Elementary History Education Based on Preservice Teachers' Lesson Analysis Responses

This study analyzed elementary school history lessons by considering the characteristics of elementary school education and exploring alternative options for teaching history. This researcher established categories based on common topics identified by observing bestpractice lesson videos with preservice teachers and repeatedly reading lesson critique forms in which the preservice teachers analyzed the lessons.
