A Comparative Analysis of Physical Education Learning Motivation Based on the Provided Feedback Through Technical Approaches in a Middle School

摘要

Learning motivation is an important element in the learning process, so that it can run optimally. In this study, researchers analyzed the student motivation when attending physical education learning by providing positive feedback and neutral feedback through a technical approach. This research was a quasi-experimental research with counterbalanced design. Sixty students were involved as participants from the Laboratorium Percontohan UPI Junior High School, Indonesia. The instrument used to measure motivation was a physical education motivation instrument for junior high school children with 29 questions, including 5 aspects of indicators, namely 1) Perseverance in learning, 2) Resilient in facing difficulties, 3) Interest and sharpness of attention in learning, 4) Achievement in learning, and 5) Independence in learning. The instruments were tested for their validity and reliability with the results of the scores were 0.518 and 0.906. The results of this study show that giving positive feedbacks contributes to a greater motivation score than providing neutral feedbacks in physical learning by using a technical approach. The findings indicate that the effective application of feedback can be used as a way to increase the student motivation.
