The Hybrid Gamification-Tpack (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) Approach in Improving 4Cs Skills and Physical Literacy of Junior High School Students in Athletic Learning

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Hybrid Gamification-TPACK approach on improving 4Cs Skills (Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Creativity) and Physical Literacy of 8th-grade students in athletic learning. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research population was all 8th-grade students of SMPN 1 Cikao, Garut Regency, totaling 48 students who were sampled using total sampling technique. The sample was divided into experimental group (n=24) receiving Hybrid Gamification-TPACK learning and control group (n=24) receiving conventional learning. The intervention duration was 10 weeks with a frequency of 2 meetings per week. Research instruments used 4Cs Skills Assessment Rubric and Physical Literacy Assessment for Youth (PLAY) Tools. Data analysis used Independent Sample t-test and Paired Sample t-test with significance level α=0.05. Results: Results showed significant improvements in the experimental group for 4Cs Skills (pretest: M=64.25, SD=8.67; posttest: M=85.17, SD=6.42; p<0.001) and Physical Literacy (pretest: M=68.50, SD=9.23; posttest: M=87.33, SD=7.15; p<0.001). The control group also experienced improvements but not as significant as the experimental group. There were significant differences between experimental and control groups on posttest 4Cs Skills (p<0.001; Cohen's d=2.89) and Physical Literacy (p<0.001; Cohen's d=2.42). Conclusion: The Hybrid Gamification-TPACK approach proved effective in improving 4Cs Skills and Physical Literacy of junior high school students in athletic learning and can be an innovative alternative in 21st-century Physical Education learning
