UPAYA MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN GERAK DASAR MELEMPAR BOLA KASTI MELALUI MODIFIKASI MEDIA DAN TARGET BERGRADASI PADA SISWA KELAS VIII-9 SMP NEGERI 2 BANDAR LAMPUNG

Abstract

This study aims to improve the basic throwing skills in rounders (kasti) among 8th-grade students (Class VIII-9) at SMPN 2 Bandar Lampung through the implementation of a graded target training method. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted across three sequential cycles. The subjects consisted of 36 students (19 males and 17 females). Data were collected using a performance observation sheet consisting of 5 motor skills indicators rated on a 1–4 Likert scale. Data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques to determine classical learning mastery percentages. The results demonstrated a significant enhancement in students' throwing skills: baseline mastery (pre-cycle) was recorded at only 22%, which increased to 38% (14 students mastered) in Cycle I, rose to 65% (23 students mastered) in Cycle II, and successfully achieved the classical success indicator at 83% (30 students mastered) in Cycle III. Consequently, it can be concluded that the implementation of graded target training variations (wall-bounce throw, paired throw, and dynamic moving target) effectively improves the basic movement skills of throwing rounders balls among students.
