Development of IA Trainer Learning Media Based on Android Application to Improve Groundstroke Ability of Beginner Tennis Players

Abstract

The tennis lecture process that has been carried out so far is still conventional, so it is less effective in improving the learning outcomes of beginner tennis players. Therefore, a more effective learning media is needed and can trigger an increase in the learning outcomes of beginner tennis players. This study aims to develop learning media that suits the needs of beginner tennis players in tennis lectures. For this reason, researchers developed an android application-based IA trainer learning media to improve the groundstroke ability of beginner tennis players at FIK UNM. The feasibility test of the developed media was carried out by involving expert validators in conducting media validation, learning media validation, and material validation. Based on the average results of product validation, a score of 90.4% was obtained which was categorized as very feasible. So it can be concluded that the learning media IA trainer based on android applications to improve the groundstroke ability of beginner tennis players at FIK UNM is very feasible to use. Meanwhile, based on the results of the paired sample t test, the mean value of the beginner tennis player’s groundstroke pre-test data is 13.55 and the mean groundstroke post-test data is 17.67, so that the mean difference is 4.117. So from the test results it is known that the groundstroke ability of beginner tennis players has increased. The results of the effectiveness test on the paired sample t test results above show that the difference in the pre-test and post-test results of beginner tennis player groundstroke skills. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the android-based IA trainer media has an effect on improving the groundstroke skills of beginner tennis players.
