Application of The Teams Games Tournament Model Through Basketball Games on Cooperation and Responsibility of Elementary School Students

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of cooperation and responsibility among elementary school students in physical education learning. This condition calls for a learning model that can effectively improve both aspects. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of applying the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model through basketball games on the cooperation and responsibility of elementary school students. The research was conducted at SDN 139 Sukarasa with a population consisting of all 5th-grade students, totaling 42 students. The sample was divided into two groups: class VA (22 students) as the control group and class VB (20 students) as the experimental group, which received the TGT model treatment. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research instruments consisted of a cooperation questionnaire and a responsibility questionnaire, developed based on cooperation and responsibility indicators in physical education learning. Data were collected through pretests and posttests, then analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, t-tests, and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed significant differences between the control and experimental groups in cooperation and responsibility, with the experimental group showing greater improvement. In conclusion, applying the TGT model through basketball games is effective in enhancing cooperation and responsibility among elementary school students. The study recommends that physical education teachers consider using the TGT model as an interactive, competitive, and enjoyable learning strategy to improve students’ social skills and sense of responsibility.
