Abstract

Research Problems: This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in basketball passing techniques during Physical Education (PE) lessons at SMAN 11 Palembang. Limited variation in teaching methods made students less active and less able to understand proper passing techniques. Research Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of the Team Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model on students’ basketball passing skills. Methods: The study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design. The sample consisted of 30 eleventh-grade students selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected using a wall bounce test to measure chest pass ability before and after the intervention. The treatment was conducted over five weeks with one session per week. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and paired sample t-test with IBM SPSS Statistics. Results: The results showed a significant improvement in students’ passing performance. The mean pretest score increased from 18.43 to 23.63 in the posttest, representing an improvement of 28.2%. Statistical analysis indicated a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), confirming a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. In addition, students’ performance categories improved from predominantly “Less” before treatment to mostly “Good” and “Very Good” after treatment. Conclusion: In conclusion, the TGT cooperative learning model was effective in improving students’ basketball chest pass skills and can be recommended as an engaging instructional strategy in physical education learning.
