Implementation of Net Games at the Discover Fundamental Stage on Physical Literacy of Elementary School Students

Silvia Avriani

Abstract


The level of physical activity among Indonesian children remains low according to the World Health Organization (WHO), particularly at the discover fundamental stage (children aged 6–9 years), largely due to insufficient physical literacy. One approach to improving physical literacy through sport is the implementation of net games. This study aimed to determine the effect of net game implementation on the physical literacy of students at the discover fundamental stage. A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. The research instrument was the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy, Second Edition (CAPL-2). The sample consisted of 33 third-grade students of SDN Gudang II, Tanjungsari District, Sumedang Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Shapiro–Wilk normality tests and paired sample t-tests were subsequently conducted. Normality test results for both pretest and posttest yielded significance values above 0.05, confirming normal data distribution across all domains. The paired sample t-test produced a significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05) for all domains, indicating statistically significant differences between pretest and posttest scores. These findings demonstrate that the implementation of net games significantly enhances the physical literacy of students at the discover fundamental stage.
