The Effect of Audio and Audio Visual Imagery Exercises on the Level of Creativity of Aerobic Gymnastics Instructors

Abstract

Background: The gymnastics instructor must have kinesthetic intelligence to express his creativity. The exercise of imagery becomes one of the methods to increase creativity. However, in its application, the imagery method is still minimally carried out to increase the creativity of gymnastics instructors. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to test visual and audio-visual imagery exercise methods against the level of creativity of aerobic gymnastics instructors. Material and Methods: A 2x2 factorial experiment was used as the research method. The sample of nationally licensed aerobic gymnastics instructors was men and women aged 20-50 years and totaling 40. Data were collected using kinesthetic intelligence test instruments and the Torrance test of creative thinking (TTCT). The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA with the help of the SPSS 23 application. Results: There was no significant difference between audio and audio visual imagery exercises as indicated by F 0.002, sig 0.961>0.05, mean of 11.6 audio-visual imagery, 18.5 audio-visual imagery, and difference of 4.7. There was a significant difference between high and low kinesthetic intelligence gymnastic instructors since the F 4.766, sig 0.036 < 0.05, mean 14.4 low kinesthetic intelligence, 15.7 high kinesthetic intelligence, difference 1.3. There was no significant interaction between imagery audio and audio visual methods with high and low kinesthetic intelligence on choreographic originality, with an overall sig value of > 0.05. Conclusion: In conclusion, audio-visual imagery exercise is superior to audio-imagery training, and high kinesthetic intelligence is highly useful to gymnastics instructors' creativity levels. The implication is that it is possible to utilize audio-visual to develop choreography creativity since it can boost the choreography creativity of gymnastics instructors with high and low kinesthetic intelligence.

The Effect of Computational Thinking and Gender on Social Problem Solving Learning Outcomes

“…Based on these results, it is suspected that there are other factors that support learning outcomes besides the level of computational thinking of students in the female gender group. Other factors that may influence are the level of self-regulated learning (Santosa et al, 2020), learning styles (Yuzela, et al, 2023), the level of critical thinking et al, 2017), the level of internet self-affication (Santosa & Sarwanta, 2021), or other related internal and external factors. It is necessary to do more in-depth research related to other factors determining the level of social problem solving learning outcomes.…”

Ability to Solve Complex Social Problems of Prospective Teachers according to Gender and Computational Thinking

“…Based on these results, it is suspected that other factors support learning outcomes besides the level of computational thinking of students in the female gender group. Other factors that may influence are the level of self-regulated learning (Santosa et al, 2020), learning style (Yuzela et al, 2023), level of critical thinking (Sola et al, 2017), level of internet self-affiliation (Santosa & Sarwanta , 2021), or other related internal and external factors. It is necessary to conduct more in-depth research on other factors determining the level of learning outcomes in solving social problems.…”
