HUBUNGAN PARTISIPASI MATA KULIAH OLAHRAGA PERMAINAN TRADISISONAL TERHADAP KESEJAHTERAN MENTAL MAHASISWA PGSD UNM

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between participation in the Traditional Sports Games course and the mental well-being of students in the Primary Teacher Education Program (PGSD) at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM). The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory correlational design involving 206 PGSD UNM students who were taking or had completed the Traditional Sports Games course. The research instruments used the WHO-5 Well-Being Index to measure mental well-being and a participation questionnaire based on a lecture enthusiasm scale. Data analysis used Pearson correlation and simple linear regression at a significance level of 0.05. Results showed that the majority of students (55.3%) were in the 'sometimes' category of lecture enthusiasm, while 27.7% were in the 'rarely' category. There is a positive and significant relationship between the intensity of participation in traditional sports games courses and students' mental well-being. Traditional games that are collaborative, enjoyable, and contain local cultural values have proven to be effective as a promotive strategy for mental health in the university environment.
