This study aims to describe the effectiveness of the application of Barcode media in learning basic techniques of baseball for phase D grade VII students of SMP Negeri 16 Palembang. The study used a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. Barcode media was developed to contain visual materials in the form of videos, images, and explanations of basic techniques, which were then applied in the Physical Education (PJOK) learning process. The results showed that the use of Barcode had a positive impact on improving student skills, especially in the aspect of catching with a high category achievement of 80.95%. In the aspect of throwing, 76.19% of students were in the high category, while in the aspect of hitting, 47.62% were in the high category and 52.38% were in the medium category. These findings indicate that Barcode media is effective in helping students understand basic techniques through clear, interactive, and easily accessible visualizations, thereby increasing motivation and the quality of learning. Overall, Barcode-based learning has been proven to be able to improve mastery of basic baseball skills and can be used as an alternative innovative learning model in the subject of PJOK.
