Background
. Physical education (PE) plays a vital role in students’ holistic development—physically, cognitively, and affectively. The success of PE learning greatly depends on the teacher's ability to apply appropriate instructional models that align with curriculum goals. However, many elementary school teachers may lack adequate knowledge of diverse PE learning models.
Objectives
. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge possessed by physical education teachers regarding PE instructional models at SD Negeri 6 Sila.
Methods
A descriptive quantitative approach was used involving a sample of 22 PE teachers. Data were collected through a multiple-choice knowledge test consisting of 25 validated items. Descriptive statistics including mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and percentage distributions were used to analyze the results.
Results
The average score obtained was 14.55 out of 25. Based on the assessment criteria, 4.5% of the teachers were categorized as having “high” knowledge, 54.6% “moderate,” 31.8% “low,” and 9.1% “poor.” The majority of teachers demonstrated only a moderate understanding of the learning models in physical education.
Conclusion
The findings indicate a need for enhanced professional development to improve PE teachers’ knowledge of learning models. Strengthening this aspect can contribute to more effective and engaging physical education learning processes in line with curriculum standards.
