The Effect of the Bridge Football Game Implemented Through the Fun Learning Method on Students’ Interest and Soccer Learning Outcomes at SMK Negeri 3 Bojonegoro

Abstract

Students at SMK Negeri 3 Bojonegoro, particularly in class X MPLB 1, often experience boredom and low motivation during football learning activities, as football is perceived as difficult and physically demanding. This condition affects students’ interest and learning outcomes in physical education.This study aimed to examine the effect of implementing the Bridge Football game through the Fun Learning method on students’ learning interest, cognitive learning outcomes, and psychomotor skills in football learning. This research employed a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The participants consisted of 35 students from class X MPLB 1 at SMK Negeri 3 Bojonegoro, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a learning interest questionnaire, cognitive achievement tests, and psychomotor skills assessments. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis to determine differences between pretest and posttest scores. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ learning interest, with an increase of 8.13 points. Cognitive learning outcomes increased by 17.42 points, while psychomotor skills showed the highest improvement, with an increase of 37.28 points. These findings indicate that the Bridge Football game effectively enhances students’ engagement and learning performance. The implementation of the Bridge Football game through the Fun Learning method significantly improves students’ learning interest and learning outcomes across affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains in football learning.
