The effect of sport education model on self-empowerment and self-confidence

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the application of two different learning models (Sport Education Model and traditional teaching model) by pre-service teachers on the students’ self-empowerment and self-confidence in Physical Education classes at secondary schools. The research design was a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest. The research sample involved 429 high school students from 8 schools in Jakarta, Indonesia. The sample consisted of 220 female students and 209 male students aged between 15 to 18 years old. The instruments used were the Psychological Empowerment Instrument and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2). The results show that the Sport Education Model (SEM) is able to significantly increase students’ self-confidence and self-empowerment. On the other hand, the students’ self-confidence and self-empowerment did not increase significantly while using the traditional teaching model. The results of this study prove that SEM gives better improvement than the traditional teaching model.
