Senam Irama Kreasi sebagai Inovasi Pembelajaran Partisipatif dalam Meningkatkan Minat Belajar Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran PJOK

Abstract

Learning interest is an important factor that influences students’ engagement and success in the learning process, particularly in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK). However, PJOK learning often encounters challenges related to low motivation, limited participation, and varying levels of student engagement during learning activities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of creative rhythmic gymnastics as a participatory learning innovation to enhance students’ learning interest in PJOK. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 34 tenth-grade students of SMKS Ma’Arif 1 Purbolinggo. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and learning reflections, while percentage-based observation results were used to support the analysis. The learning process was designed using a student-centered and collaborative approach, allowing students to create and perform rhythmic gymnastics movements in groups based on selected musical accompaniment. The findings indicate positive changes in students’ learning interest, reflected in increased enthusiasm, motivation to participate, creativity in developing movements, and involvement in group activities, creating a more interactive, collaborative, and enjoyable learning environment that encouraged active participation in PJOK learning. This study concludes that creative rhythmic gymnastics serves as an effective participatory learning innovation that supports active, meaningful, and student-centered learning while enhancing students’ learning interest.
