Abstract

Problems in teaching the squat long jump in elementary schools indicate that student learning outcomes are still relatively low, particularly in the run-up, take-off, flight, and landing phases. The limited variety of learning methods and the inadequate use of media or aids result in limited student understanding of technique and low learning motivation. This study aims to analyze improvements in squat long jump learning outcomes through modified learning tools combined with a drill method approach among students at SDN 3 Mandalasari. This study used a quantitative method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample consisted of 20 students who were given drill training supported by modified media using used tires as visual aids and movement targets. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, pretests, and posttests. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and a paired sample t-test. The results showed an increase in the average score from 78.00 in the pretest to 87.90 in the posttest, a difference of 9.90 points. The t-test results showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant improvement after the application of the drill method combined with modified learning tools. Thus, it can be concluded that the drill-based learning approach integrated with tool modification is effective in improving elementary school students' squat style long jump learning outcomes.
