The Effect of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning Model on Learning Outcomes in Underhand Volleyball Passing Among Grade X Students at SMA Negeri 15 Palembang

Abstract

Objectives. The main problem addressed in this study is the low learning outcomes in volleyball underhand passing among Grade X students at SMA Negeri 15 Palembang. The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of the cooperative learning model of the Jigsaw type on improving students’ learning outcomes in volleyball underhand passing. This study aims to contribute to the field of physical education by evaluating the effectiveness of an interactive and student-centered learning model and providing insights into alternative teaching strategies to enhance students' practical performance.

Materials and Methods. This study employed a quantitative research approach with an experimental method using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of all Grade X students at SMA Negeri 15 Palembang, with a sample of 34 students selected through cluster random sampling.

The data collection technique involved administering a volleyball underhand passing skills test both before (pretest) and after (posttest) the application of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques including normality and homogeneity tests, followed by a paired sample t-test to determine significant differences between pretest and posttest scores. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26.

Results. The results showed a notable improvement in students’ learning outcomes. The average pretest score was 70.50, which increased to 81.91 in the posttest after the implementation of the Jigsaw model. The results of the paired sample t-test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores.

Conclusions. Based on the data analysis and findings, it can be concluded that the cooperative learning model of the Jigsaw type has a significant positive effect on improving underhand passing skills in volleyball among Grade X students at SMA Negeri 15 Palembang. This model promotes active student participation and collaborative learning, which enhances both understanding and skill performance. Therefore, the Jigsaw model can be considered an effective alternative teaching strategy in physical education settings.
