Physics in Physical Education: The Concept of Vector in Locomotor Motion for 10^th Grade High School Students

This study examines students' grasp of the displacement vector material by integrating basic locomotor movements in the running. This study is quantitative research, with the design being a non-equivalent control group with a post-test alone approach. The ability data for each class of pupils is normally distributed and homogeneous. According to the post-test data, the experimental class's average score was 69.8, while the control class' average score was 55.3. Descriptively, the two classes have different ways of interpreting the idea of displacement vectors. The experimental class comprehends the idea of displacement vectors better than the control class. The independent sample t-test findings revealed a value for Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.016. Therefore, there is a big variation in how well the two classes comprehend the idea of displacement vectors. The experimental class outperformed the control class by a significant margin of 14.53125, proving superior. So it can be said that students' comprehension of the idea of displacement vector material varies depending on whether or not fundamental running locomotor movements are included in sports and health physical education sessions. It is much easier to comprehend the notion of pupil displacement vector material when it is integrated with basic locomotor movements in running sports and health physical education courses than it is when it is taught conventionally without integration with basic locomotor movements.
