Analysis of Sport Values Based on Gender at SMPN 50 Kota Bandung

Abstract

This study aims to examine the differences in sport values based on gender among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 50 Kota Bandung. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method, involving a total population of 330 students, from which 203 students were selected as research samples using proportional sampling techniques. The sample consisted of 85 male students (42%) and 118 female students (58%). Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire instrument consisting of 30 items, adapted from the sport values scale developed by Whitehead, which measures students’ understanding and internalization of values in the context of physical education and sports. The results of the analysis indicate that there are significant differences in the perception and expression of sport values between male and female students at SMPN 50 Kota Bandung. These findings suggest that gender plays a relevant role in shaping students' attitudes, behaviors, and value orientation in sports, thus highlighting the importance of gender-responsive pedagogical strategies in physical education programs. The study contributes to a better understanding of how sport values are interpreted differently across gender lines and offers insights for educators in promoting inclusive and equitable value-based learning through sports.
