This study aims at exploring the problem of the readiness and competence of new teachers to teach in primary schools. This study specifically focuses on identifying the readiness of new teachers to conduct teaching professionally, and analyzing their competence in conducting teaching. This study employs a mixed-method research design with data collected from two different approaches: a qualitative approach by conducting interviews and observation, and a quantitative approach by conducting a survey. The data were collected from lecturers, graduate teachers working as teachers, graduate teachers working not as teachers, and users of graduate teachers. The results of data collection and analysis were made into several themes. The results showed that the majority of graduates were ready to join the workforce as professional teachers with the risk that they had to accept the lack of welfare and legitimacy as unprofessional teachers because they had to attend further professional education programs. The education provided by the lecturers during their study in their institution in the aspects of knowledge and skills in the field of study and pedagogy became the foundation for new teachers in starting their careers as professional teachers in schools. A good educational process had produced teachers who have competencies with good categories in various aspects.

Effects of Learning Models on Badminton Learning Achievement. Thisstudy aims to find out the effects of the tactical approach and the conventionalapproach on the badminton learning achievement. The experiment was conductedin the Bandung Badminton Club of FPOK UPI. The results of the study were asfollows. First, in general, the skills of female badminton players using the tacticalapproach are better than those of the players using the conventional approach.Second, the skills of female players with high motor ability using the tacticalapproach are better than those of the players using the conventional approach.Third, the skills of female players with low motor ability using the tactical approachare not significantly different from those of the players using the conventionalapproach. Fourth, there is an interaction between the teaching models and motorability in relation to the female players’ badminton skills.Keywords : tactical approach, conventional approach, badminton learning achievement

Background. The badminton forehand overhead jump smash is one of the high speed and powerful motions among various racket sports. Objectives. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of fatigue on the kinematic variable movement changes during overhead jump smash in badminton. Methods. This study is descriptive quantitative research with the pre-test and post-test design methods used to obtain data from 15 male badminton players, aged 19.4±1.6 years, height 1.73 ± 0.12 m, and weight 60.8 ± 3.7 kg. The study used three high-resolution handy-cams, motion software Frame DIAZ IV, and 14 point manual markers to analyze body segments' movement when carrying out a jump smash. Furthermore, an ergo treadmill was used to test the players' level by running. Results. The results showed that the shuttlecock velocity was faster during pre-fatigue (188 km/h) than under the condition (145 km/h). A significant difference showed in the angle of shoulder internal rotation (p=0.048) and wrist palmar flexion (p=0.037) at the instant of maximal shoulder external rotation phase. Furthermore, there were significant differences in the shoulder's internal angular velocity (p=0.042), elbow extension (p=0.035), forearm supination (p=0.024), and wrist Dorsi dorsiflexion.040). Conclusion. In conclusion, fatigue reduces players' performances during jumping smash in badminton, thereby leading to slower shuttlecock speed and changes in body segment movements.

The purpose of this study is to see a picture of the condition of student learning motivation in physical education subjects in junior high school. This study is conducted on junior high school students involved 52 students, consisting of 30 male and 22 female students. A survey is used as the research method. Researchers used physical education learning motivation questionnaire instruments that have been developed and tested with a reliability value of 0.906 which means very high. Motivation level assessment criteria are categorized by using the norm reference evaluation guidelines. The results showed that the overall level of student motivation in taking physical education lessons was in the sufficient category. The details of the results are 1) very high category of 9%; 2) high category of 33%; 3) sufficient category of 33%; 4) low category of 15%; and 5) very low category of 10%.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat motivasi belajar pendidikan jasmani berdasarkan jenis kelamin. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif komparatif. Subyek dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa SMP kelas VII dengan jumlah 52 orang siswa, terdiri dari 30 siswa laki-laki dan 22 siswa perempuan. Instrumen yang digunakan oleh peneliti adalah angket motivasi belajar pendidikan jasmani untuk siswa SMP yang terdiri dari 29 item pernyataan dengan nilai validitas 0,518 dan reliabilitas 0,906. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah independent sample t test untuk menguji perbandingan motivasi siswa laki-laki dengan siswa perempuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa motivasi belajar pendidikan jasmani siswa laki-laki lebih tinggi dibandingkan siswa perempuan di jenjang SMP. Adanya temuan ini diharapkan menjadi evaluasi bagi pihak-pihak terkait dalam rangka menumbuhkan motivasi guna peningkatan hasil belajar siswa.

This research is aimed to identify the experiment of psychological training on football players to improve their performance. The method used in this research is experimental. This research participant is two football teams, namely Persigar and Porda Garut, consisting of 46 football players. The instrument in this research is Mental Skills Test-football (MST-f) and Evaluation Football Performance. The results revealed that the implementation of psychological training is affected, performance players. That means there is a significant relationship between psychology and football performance. The experimental group's psychological test results (Porda Garut) showed an average score of 3.75 points, those higher than the control group (Persigar Garut), which had an average score of 3.16 points. The experimental group's performance test (Porda Garut) had a higher increase of 73.11%, while the control group (Persigar Garut) experienced a lower growth of 15.54%. This research concludes that psychological training can be implemented in football training as well.  

The purpose of this study was to analyze the joint motion kinetics of the shoulders, elbows, and wrists between experienced player (skilled player) group and unskilled player group when performing overhead standing smash in badminton game. The samples involved were 26 samples. The samples included 13 male badminton players joining Student Activity Unit who had achieved many achievements and had a high skill (skilled), while the other 13 samples were unskilled players, involving students who had just studied under one year. The mean of participants’ age was 19.4 ± 1.6 years, height was 1.73 ± 0.12m, and body weight was 62.8 ± 3.7kg. This study used 3 Panasonic Handycams, a calibration set, 3D Frame DIAZ IV motion analysis software, and a speed radar gun. Normalization of the kinetic motion score of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints was calculated using the inverse dynamics method. The t-test was used to determine the significance of motion kinetic difference of the two different groups. The results presented that the shuttlecock speed of the skilled player group, during the overhead standing smash, showed a significant difference. Meanwhile, the joint motion of the inferior shoulder force, shoulder anterior force, shoulder internal rotation torque, shoulder horizontal abduction torque, elbow anterior force, and wrist flexion torque were higher in the skilled players group than the unskilled player group.
