Integration of Mental Education through Sports to Improve Personal Resilience of Adolescents in Elementary, Junior and Senior High School Students

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating mental education through sports at the elementary, junior, and senior high school levels as an approach to enhancing adolescent personal resilience. The primary objective of this research is to assess the impact of sports on improving mental resilience across different educational stages (elementary, junior high, and senior high school) to determine which level experiences the most significant improvement. The study employs an experimental research design with multiple treatments and a control group, using a pretest-posttest format. The findings indicate that the integration of mental education through sports significantly enhances student resilience at all educational levels. Specifically, the Paired Samples Test revealed notable improvements in resilience, with average differences between pretest and posttest scores of -19.191 for elementary school, -46.070 for junior high school, and -16.205 for senior high school. The results from junior high school students exhibited the most substantial effect, as evidenced by the highest t-value of -96.677 and the smallest standard deviation (4.015), suggesting data homogeneity. All test results were statistically significant (p < 0.001), confirming that mental education through sports has a positive influence on student resilience, with the most pronounced effect observed in junior high school students.
