Discipline levels of junior students during physical education lessons at schools

Abstract

This research is based on the importance of student discipline in learning at school. In this study, the authors conducted a quantitative research using the pre-experimental design type one group pretest-posttest method. One group pretest-posttest design is a research activity that provides a pre-test before being given treatment, after being given treatment then gives a final test (post-test). The sample of this research was 50 students of class XII Vocational High School 1 Bangkinang. This study was analyzed using a quantitative descriptive technique. The study results as a whole are that there was an increase in the level of student discipline by 9.11% with the acquisition of pre-test scores of 76.68% and post-test of 85.78%. The results explained an increase in the level of student discipline when given physical education learning treatment. The score is still considered very low and needs to be improved so that later students have a high discipline level. One of the most effective ways to improve student disciplinary behavior at schools is to carry out physical activity. This research still has shortcomings and weaknesses; namely, the research was conducted in just one month. This allows further researchers to carry out research to improve student discipline for a longer time.
