Peningkatan Pemahaman dan Keterampilan Guru PJOK Sekolah Dasar melalui Pelatihan dan Pendampingan Physical Literacy

Abstract

Changes in children’s and adolescents’ activity patterns involving sedentary activities highlight the importance of strengthening their ability to engage in physical activity sustainably. Physical literacy supports the development of physical competence, motivation and confidence, as well as knowledge and understanding of physical activity. However, teachers’ understanding of the concept and its application remains limited. This activity aimed to improve physical education teachers’ understanding and skills in identifying components and developing learning activities based on physical literacy. The participants were 30 physical education teachers from three partner elementary schools. The activity employed a descriptive qualitative approach through socialization, training, practice, mentoring, evaluation, and reflection. Instruments included observation, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that 7 teachers (23.3%) knew the term physical literacy during the initial identification, 10 teachers (33.3%) after socialization, 12 teachers (40%) were able to identify its components during practice, and 5 teachers (16.7%) successfully developed physical literacy-based activities. The output was a set of physical literacy-based physical education activity designs. The activity helped teachers connect the concept with learning, but changes in students’ physical literacy were not directly measured.
