Using traditional games to increase active participation in physical education
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to address the issue of low student participation in Physical Education by implementing the traditional game Gobak Sodor as an intervention. The study explores its effectiveness in enhancing students’ active engagement during Physical Education lessons. Conducted in Grade VII.6 of State Junior High School 13 Palembang, the study involved 32 students (16 boys and 16 girls). The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design using the Kemmis and McTaggart spiral model, consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The primary instruments for data collection were observation sheets to assess student participation and documentation. The results revealed a significant improvement in student participation, increasing from 34% in the pre-cycle to 78% in the second cycle. The integration of Gobak Sodor successfully fostered a joyful learning environment, encouraging students to be more active, cooperative, and socially engaged. These findings indicate that traditional games like Gobak Sodor can effectively enhance student involvement in physical activity. This study contributes to the development of Physical Education teaching methods by incorporating enjoyable and culturally meaningful activities as practical strategies to increase student participation.
