Perceptions of Students of State Senior High School 4, Kediri City, Regarding Physical Education Learning

Abstract

This study aims to describe the perceptions of students of SMA Negeri 4 Kediri City towards Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning. Student perception is one of the important indicators in evaluating the quality of learning because it reflects the learning experience obtained by students during the learning activities. This study uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive research type. The research sample amounted to 115 students of grade XI SMA Negeri 4 Kediri City who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted using a Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 20 statements with five indicators, namely the objectives and benefits of learning, learning materials and methods, facilities and infrastructure, learning implementation, and assessment systems. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics in the form of percentages. The results of the study indicate that in general, students' perceptions of PJOK learning are in the good category. Most students considered that PJOK learning has provided benefits for improving physical fitness, motor skills, and character building. However, several aspects such as variations in learning methods and the utilization of facilities and infrastructure still require improvement to make the learning process more interesting, effective, and able to increase active student participation. The findings of this study are expected to be used as evaluation material for teachers and schools in improving the quality of PJOK learning.
