Softball Catching Learning Model Development for High School Students

The study aims to create a softball throw and catch learning model for high
school students. Based on the findings of observations and interviews, it is
possible to conclude that students struggle with throwing and catching
techniques on softball material. Physical education teachers face a challenge in
providing appropriate learning methods due to a lack of variety in applying the
learning model. The research and development (R & D) method was used in this
study, with six stages of development. The following data analysis techniques
were used in this study: This study employs both quantitative and qualitative
descriptive data analysis. Based on the findings of this study, ten throwing and
catching learning models with various variations have been developed. The
effectiveness test was performed with the T-test to determine the effectiveness of
the developed product. The t-test value, tcount = 31,647, was then obtained. The
value of ttable obtained with confidence level = 0.05, dk = (n-1) = 30 – 1 = 30
was 2.1098. As a result, tcount exceeds ttable (tcount = 31,647 > ttable = 2,093).
Based on the test criteria of tcount > ttable at =0.05 dk = 17, the developed
model is very effective for use, particularly at the high school level.
