Analysis Of Interest In Learning Physical And Social Sciences Through The Traditional Game Gobak Sodor Among Grade III And IV Students Of Elementary School Krenceng 3, Kediri Regency

Abstract

Learning interest is one of the factors that influence students' success in following the learning process, especially in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) subjects. Learning that is less varied often causes students to feel bored, resulting in low attention and participation during the learning process. One alternative learning method is the traditional game Gobak Sodor, which integrates physical activity, cooperation, sportsmanship, and a fun learning atmosphere. This study aims to describe the application of the traditional game Gobak Sodor in PJOK learning, determine the learning interests of students in grades III and IV, and identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its application at SDN Krenceng 3. The study used a qualitative descriptive approach with one PJOK teacher and 36 students consisting of 18 students in grades III and 18 students in grades IV as research subjects. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the traditional game Gobak Sodor can increase students' interest in learning, as demonstrated by increased attention, enthusiasm, active participation, cooperation, and enjoyment during physical education (PJOK) learning. Supporting factors include teacher creativity, student enthusiasm, and the availability of school facilities, while inhibiting factors include weather conditions, limited learning time, and differences in students' physical abilities. Thus, the traditional game Gobak Sodor can be an effective alternative for PJOK learning to increase elementary school students' interest in learning.
