Elementary Physical Education

The purpose was to describe the characteristics of elementary school principals who support elementary physical education programs. A statewide random sample of 500 elementary school principals and their respective elementary physical education teachers ( n = 500) were mailed questionnaires. A total of 321 principals responded (64%) to a 20-item questionnaire which assessed their physical fitness and their perceptions of elementary physical education. A total of 340 physical education teachers (68%) responded to a 23-item survey assessing their perceptions of their elementary principals' support for the physical education program. The majority of teachers perceived their principals to be supportive of them and the physical education program. A series of l tests showed no significant differences in principals' age, gender, years of experience as a principal, or how important they thought health and physical education was compared to other subjects taught in the elementary school and how supportive of physical education the principals were perceived to be. Finally, a stepwise backward multiple regression analysis indicated that seven variables, including fitness of the principal and body mass index, did not explain more than 13% of the variance in teachers' perceived support by principals.

Quasi Experimental

This study aimed to determine the effect of physical education in improving children's motor competence in primary schools. To enhance children's motor competence, the research method used was a quasi-experimental method with The Pretest Post-Test Two Treatment Design. The sample used was elementary school students in Merauke District with a total of 60 people. The instrument used is using Somatic measures (measuring the height, weight, BMI, and thickness of the student's fat). Then the second test instrument uses Motor skills (Gymnastics skills, Soccer skills, Basketball skills, Track-and-field skills). The results showed that the physical education program could improve the motor competence of elementary school children, as for the conclusion of this study that physical education programs provided in elementary schools can improve children's motor competence. This increase is inseparable from a physical education program that is well designed and by the child's characteristics.
