Abstract

Implementation of the ADERIC Model Based on Joyful Learning in Physical Education: Effects on Student Motivation and Classroom Engagement. Student motivation and classroom engagement are important factors in achieving effective learning outcomes in physical education. However, many physical education classes still experience low student motivation and limited active participation during learning activities. This study aimed to examine the effect of the ADERIC model based on joyful learning on students’ learning motivation and classroom engagement in physical education. This study employed a quantitative approach using a pretest–posttest design. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 3 Kota Sorong, involving 30 eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The learning intervention was implemented through the five stages of the ADERIC model: Accumulation, Demonstration, Exercise, Reflection, and Creation. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring students’ learning motivation and classroom engagement. The data were analyzed using paired sample t-test analysis with SPSS. The results showed a significant increase in both variables after the implementation of the ADERIC model. The mean motivation score increased from 61.3 to 79.4, while the mean engagement score increased from 56.6 to 76.7. These findings indicate that the ADERIC model based on joyful learning positively influences students’ motivation and classroom engagement in physical education learning. This study contributes to innovative pedagogical strategies that support more interactive, enjoyable, and student-centered physical education learning environments.
