MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS OF IMPROVING STUDENTS’ DISCIPLINE AND LEARNING CONCENTRATION THROUGH PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT SMKIT DARUSSALAM 01 BATAM

Abstract

Physical Education, Sports, and Health plays an essential role in developing students’ physical, mental, and social competencies. Beyond teaching motor skills, PJOK also serves as a medium for cultivating character values such as discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and emotional control. Effective learning management allows PJOK teachers to create meaningful learning experiences through educational games that are both enjoyable and pedagogically relevant. This study focuses on the management analysis of improving student discipline and learning concentration through the implementation of game-based learning strategies in PJOK at SMKIT Darussalam 01 Batam. The research employed a direct, activity-based approach centered on educational games designed to reinforce cooperation, punctuality, discipline, and self-regulation. Data were collected using assessment instruments and systematic observations during the learning sessions. The results of the activity implementation showed a significant improvement in students’ discipline and learning concentration following the application of game-based PJOK learning. Based on instrument assessments and observations of 12 tenth-grade Accounting students, the total average achievement level reached 88.44%, indicating that most students demonstrated positive behavioral changes. Improvements were particularly evident in aspects of time discipline, learning focus, responsibility, and active participation throughout the activities. Thus, the findings suggest that well-managed game-based learning can serve as an effective strategy in PJOK classes to enhance student discipline and concentration, while simultaneously fostering motivation and engagement in the learning process.
