Model Affect

This study examined the attitudes of upper elementary school students toward physical education. Fourth and fifth grade students (N = 1344) from 13 school districts, 17 schools, and five states completed an attitude instrument with scores that had been previously validated for a two factor model (affect and cognition) and a four factor model (affect and cognition with the subfactors of teacher and curriculum). For the four factor model, there was a difference between grades for both affect-curriculum and affect-teacher (F(1, 1340) = 6.25, p < .01, ηp2 = .005). Similarly, for the two factor model the affect variable was different between grades, indication that as students age their affect toward physical education decreases (F(1, 1341)= 48.65, p < .001, ηp2 = .035). This study suggests that upper elementary school students have an overall favorable attitude toward physical education, impacted by how they think and feel about the curriculum and teacher.

Hockey Game

SummaryThe purpose of this study is to develop tools and products for the hockey water pipe (PSA) game model in order to overcome the problem of limited facilities and infrastructure and improve students’ movement coordination skills and increase the variety of small ball games. This research is a research and development (RnD) that refers to Sugiyono’s (2013) theory which is product oriented. The results of this study have been found (1) the Hockey PSA game model can attract the attention of upper elementary school students to get to know the Hockey game (2) The Hockey PSA game model can add variety to the game for teachers who teach upper grade elementary school children (3) the game model PSA Hoki can express the imagination of upper elementary school students in the combination of modification of tools and games with the results of the affective aspects of the trial that is the aspect of students willing to play again obtained a percentage of 92.08% (very feasible). The conclusion of this research is the Hockey PSA game model can overcome the problem of limited facilities and infrastructure improve student movement coordination and increase the variety of small ball game material.
