Hubungan masa pembelajaran akademik dan pencapaian kemahiran dalam pendidikan jasmani

This research was carried out to determine the level of academic learning time (motor), to compare the academic learning time between male students and female students, and to identify the relationship between students’ academic learning time and skill achievement in Physical Education. This research was conducted in a few secondary schools in the Kulai district, with the total sample of 18 students, comprised of nine male and nine female form 2 students. The methodology used was the observation method, based on time interval. This method was pioneered by Siedentop, Birdwell and Metzler (1979) and modified by Julismah (2000). It was found from the research that, the academic learning time of the entire sample observed is at a low level, which is 35.48%. Also from the findings, it is noticeable that the female students have higher mastery level at 39.05%, as compared to only 31.66% by the male students. The research also found that the relationship between academic learning time and students’ skill achievement is at a moderate level, with r = .42. However, the female students marked higher in academic achievement at 15.07%, compared to male students at 12.9%. The research also found that there are significant dissimilarities in academic learning time between the two genders with the significant value equals to .00. Therefore, the Physical Education teachers must employ teaching methodology that is suitable with students’ capabilities, which is by providing study assignments so that students could allocate more study time in achieving academic learning time. The academic learning time (motor) has a connection with students’ skill achievement.
