PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS TEMAN SEBAYA TERHADAP PENGETAHUAN DAN KETERAMPILAN RENANG MAHASISWA

THE EFFECT OF PEER-BASED LEARNING ON KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF SWIMMING UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pembelajaran berbasis teman sebaya terhadap pengetahuan dan keterampilan renang gaya bebas pada mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan desain matching-only posttest-only control group. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 59 mahasiswa semester I tahun akademik 2025/2026 yang dipilih melalui teknik quota–purposive sampling dan dibagi menjadi kelompok eksperimen dan kelompok kontrol. Kelompok eksperimen memperoleh pembelajaran renang melalui kombinasi pembelajaran dosen dan pembelajaran berbasis teman sebaya, sedangkan kelompok kontrol menggunakan pendekatan part and whole practice. Instrumen penelitian meliputi tes pengetahuan renang gaya bebas dan tes keterampilan renang gaya bebas sejauh 25 meter. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif dan inferensial menggunakan uji MANOVA dengan interpretasi Pillai’s Trace. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh signifikan peer tutoring terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan dan keterampilan renang gaya bebas (V = 0,54, F = 32,873, p < 0,001). Analisis univariat menunjukkan peningkatan pengetahuan dengan efek sedang (η² = 0,104) dan peningkatan keterampilan renang dengan efek besar (η² = 0,459). Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa model pembelajaran peer tutoring efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan renang gaya bebas mahasiswa.

This study aims to determine the effect of peer-based learning on the knowledge and skills of freestyle swimming in university students. This research uses an experimental method with a matching-only posttest-only control group design. The research sample consisted of 59 first-semester students from the 2025/2026 academic year, selected through quota–purposive sampling technique and divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received swimming instruction through a combination of lecturer-led learning and peer-based learning, while the control group used a part and whole practice approach. The research instruments included a freestyle swimming knowledge test and a 25-meter freestyle swimming skill test. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and inferentially using the MANOVA test with a Pillai's Trace interpretation. The results showed a significant effect of peer tutoring on improving knowledge and skills in freestyle swimming (V = 0.54, F = 32.873, p < 0.001). Univariate analysis showed an increase in knowledge with a moderate effect (η² = 0.104) and an increase in swimming skills with a large effect (η² = 0.459).

 Thus, it can be concluded that the peer tutoring learning model is effective in improving university students' knowledge and skills in freestyle swimming.
