Abstract

Background

Tenth-grade students at Darul Arafah Private Islamic Senior High School (Islamic Senior High School) who participated in table tennis lessons found that many students were still lacking interest and active participation during the lesson. Furthermore, students' forehand strokes were not yet optimal due to the lack of varied learning media. This impacted students' academic scores, which fell short of the Minimum Passing Criteria (KKM), with a significant number of students still scoring below 75.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to determine the benefits of using wall media in improving the learning outcomes of tenth-grade students at Darul Arafah Private Islamic Senior High School (Islamic Senior High School) regarding forehand stroke technique in table tennis.

Methods

This study used classroom action research (CAR). The subjects were 28 tenth-grade students at Darul Arafah Private Islamic Senior High School.

Results

After implementing wall media in the physical education table tennis class, improvements were clearly visible in the psychomotor, affective, and cognitive aspects.

This was evidenced by observations during the learning process and the results of student tests administered at the end of each cycle. Student learning outcomes improved due to the collaboration between the researcher and the class teacher.

Conclusion

From the results and data analysis, this study concluded that there was an improvement in learning outcomes in table tennis forehand strokes using wall media among tenth-grade students at Darul Arafah Private Islamic Senior High School, with an average score of 71.05% in Cycle I and 79.86% in Cycle II, representing an 8.81% increase in the percentage score.
