Developing A Long-Distance Running Learning Model For Students

Abstrak

Long-distance running learning at the junior high school level often faces problems with low student interest, motivation, and engagement due to monotonous learning approaches and a lack of training variations. This study aims to develop a long-distance running learning model for eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Palu to increase interest, motivation, and effectiveness of athletic learning. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method by adapting the steps of Borg and Gall which include initial research, planning, product development, expert validation, small group trials, revisions, large group trials, and final product refinement. The research subjects consisted of 10 students in the small-scale trial and 30 students in the large-scale trial, and involved one learning expert and one athletic sports expert as validators. The data collection technique used a questionnaire, then analyzed using a percentage technique. The validation results showed that the athletic sports expert and learning expert each gave a score of 100% with a category suitable for use. The results of the small group trial obtained a percentage of 73% (category used), while the large group trial increased to 90% (category used). These findings indicate that the developed learning model is effective, practical, and suitable for application in PJOK learning, especially long-distance running material, and is able to increase students' interest and enthusiasm in participating in the learning process.
