Abstract

This study was aimed at exploring the contribution and the use of striking and fielding games in elementary school as an attempt at improving student’s fundamental movement skills. The researcher utilized an experimental method with pretest and posttest control group design. This study employed 39 4th grade students as the research samples who were selected by implementing a total sampling technique. The treatment was given in 16 meetings. For the instrumentation, the researcher used Test Gross Motor Development (TGMD) the 2nd edition; which was divided into two kinds of tests, including 6 items of locomotor test and 6 items of object skill test. A series of games were undertaken to improve the fundamental movement skills, namely baseball, kippers, slag balls, and rounder. Paired Samples Test results showed a significance value (0,000) from the students’ pretest and posttest scores. Because the significance in the pretest and posttest scores of fundamental movement skills was <0.05, it means that there is a significant influence. Based on the data analysis, it revealed that there was a significant improvement of striking and fielding games on students’ fundamental movement skills.
