Can Teaching by Invitation Technique Improve Students Basic Motion Ability?

摘要

This study aimed to determine the use of technical approaches usingmotivational techniques in learningand its influence on the students' basic mobility in elementary schools. This study was an experimental research with a non-equivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. Forty-two elementary students in Tasikmalaya were involved as the participants. The instrument used in this study was an eye-hand coordination test conducted by calculating the number of the captured balls after being reflected to the wall for 30 seconds. The results of this study indicated that the teaching by invitation technique could enhance students' eye and hand coordination skills in elementary schools. The application of this type of technical approach also encouraged the students to be more enthusiastic in participating in the learning process because they could choose their own type of assignments according to their desires and abilities. Further study is necessary to find out its influence on different levels of education.
