THE IMPACT OF THEMATIC LEARNING ON IMPROVING CREATIVITY, PROBLEM SOLVING AND BASIC MOTION SKILLS IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION LEARNING

Thematic learning in the 2013 curriculum makes students as a whole more active because students thematic learning is really the main focus in learning. So that students are expected to achieve the objectives of learning well. In Physical Education learning, students often experience problems when the Physical Education learning takes place.

With thematic learning, it is expected that students have the ability to solve problems, have good creativity and basic movement skills of children will be achieved. The purpose of this study is to look at the impact of thematic learning on improving creativity, problem solving and basic motion skills in physical education learning. The research method used in this study is an experimental method with a one group pre-test-post-test design. Before giving the treatment, conducted pre-test was to determine the initial ability of the students and post-test to determine the ability of students after being given treatment. The results of the tests given to students are processed variance analysis (ANOVA). Before arriving at the research hypothesis test, it is necessary to test the requirements first. The normality test used the Liliefors test and the variance homogeneity test used the Bartlet test. Thematic learning can improve students creativity, problem solving and basic motion skills in physical education learning.
