Analysis Research Trends of Physical Literacy in Indonesia

Abstract

In Indonesia, physical literacy has not developed as rapidly as in developed countries. Therefore, only a few studies are examining physical literacy in Indonesia. This study was aimed to scientifically reveal the focus of physical literacy studies in Indonesia by using an article review approach. The search for articles was limited to the latest ten-year publications and articles published in accredited National/International Journals and National/International Seminars with ISBN. A total of 7 articles were selected for further analysis using synthesis techniques. The study results revealed that there were only six studies on Physical Literacy in Indonesia published in National Journals and National/International Seminars. The focus of the study on physical literacy research in Indonesia included the lead to the measurement of physical literacy and the development of physical literacy instruments in elementary schools (three studies), using learning approach to improve physical literacy (two studies), and the concept of physical literacy in Physical Education (one study). This study is limited to an article review. For further research, it is hoped that new research focusing on physical literacy studies, using a research method approach adapted to the research objectives, will emerge from developing concepts, measurements, and implementations of physical literacy programs in Indonesia.

The effectiveness of Lombok traditional games on increasing physical literacy of elementary school

“…However, current physical literacy research is predominant on the notion of physical literacy (Edwards et al, 2018). There is still not much exploration of its role in traditional games (Irmansyah et al, 2021) and research examining physical literacy is still rare (Friskawati & Stephani, 2021). The results of the research conducted (Friskawati & Stephani, 2021) suggests that research on physical literacy in Indonesia needs to be developed so that it becomes an important analysis focus in sports research, especially physical education with the potential to measure success of teaching to be included in the physical education curriculum in Indonesia.…”

“…In accordance with research conducted by (Kurniawan et al, 2020) (Tangkudung et al, 2019) states that traditional games can affect children's physical fitness. Research on physical literacy in Indonesia needs to be developed so that it becomes an important study focus in physical education learning (Friskawati & Stephani, 2021). In line with that, traditional games are a gateway to increasing physical literacy (Caldwell et al, 2020;Gustian et al, 2019).…”

Differences of physical literacy perception of kindergarten teachers: Seen from demographic information

“…In accordance with the results of previous studies, this study aims to fill the gap in this research by presenting possible differences in perceptions of physical literacy among kindergarten teachers looking at the demographics of early childhood teachers who are responsible for being able to promote physical literacy through their teaching (Hulteen et al, 2017;Pot et al, 2018;Starrett et al, 2021) with a sample of teachers in West Java which has never been done before in Indonesia. As for what has been done, research related to physical literacy in Indonesia is just little (Friskawati & Stephani, 2021) and just about regarding integration into physical education learning (Suherman et al, 2018;Bulqini et al, 2021;Irmansyah et al, 2021) and measuring physical literacy (Priadana et al, 2021;Suntoda et al, 2021). Therefore, this study aims to fill the gap in research on physical literacy in Indonesia, especially regarding the perception of early childhood education teachers on physical literacy.…”
