Descriptive Study of Long Jump Learning Development in Physical Education Process : Descriptive Study on Grade VII Students of Junior High School

This study aims to determine the most effective learning media for enhancing long jump instruction among junior high school students. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method, utilizing a random sampling technique to select a sample of 167 Grade 7 students. Data collection was conducted using a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms, designed to assess students’ perceptions of the effectiveness of three different types of instructional media. The findings revealed that all three media demonstrated a fairly effective level of support for long jump learning. However, based on the percentage scores obtained, the bamboo-based media emerged as the most effective among the alternatives. Students reported greater ease of understanding and skill acquisition when using bamboo media compared to other instructional aids. In conclusion, the study indicates that bamboo media is the most effective learning tool for supporting the development of long jump skills in Grade 7 students at the junior high school level. These results highlight the importance of selecting appropriate, contextually relevant instructional materials to optimize student engagement and learning outcomes in physical education.
