Personal meaning approach: An alternative for increasing students' interest in learning

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the effects of teaching methods with personal meaning and traditional learning methods on improving students' readability in learning physical education at school. The experimental group had 63 participants (aged 15– 17 years) and the control group had 63 samples also (mean age = 15–18 years). The results of the research conducted using personal and conventional meaning as physical education learning methods are ineffective in increasing students' interest in learning. In addition, the two methods have no significant difference in effectiveness between the use of personal meaning and conventional methods. This can also be seen with the calculation of the independent samples test 0.739 > 0.05. If we look at the analysis results, the average n-Gain score for the experimental class (personal meaning) is 9.8903 or 9.8%, which is included in the less effective category. Meanwhile, the average n-Gain score for the control class (conventional) is 10.1448% or 10%, which is included in the less effective category. The researcher suggests conducting a further study with a more extended period to find out the effect of the personal meaning method in increasing students' interest in learning physical education.
