38 EDUCATIONIST Vol. II No. 1 Januari 2008 ISSN : 1907 - 8838 Agus Mahendra, Agus Mahendra, Yoyo Bahagia, Eka Nugraha, and Lilis Komariyah The Implementation of Movement Problem-Based Learning: A Community-Based Action Research P oor physical ftness among students in Indonesia indicates that quality of physical education programs in Indonesia is still low. This situation can also be summarized from sporting community’s opinions that underlined low physical capacities of student athletes. It should be questioned, why the quality of PE programs in Indonesia is so poor, is it because of low quality of teachers, or is it because of other factors such as facilities and equipments unavailability? A deeper skepticism could also be raised, suspecting the irrelevance of curriculum, or probably indicating lack of support from both government and society in terms of the essence of physical education. Those questions are not easy to answer, of course. It is necessary that there must be a scrutiny of investigation involving a review of philosophical, sociological, psychological, cultural, economic, and political perspectives. However, in the sense of praxis, we can identify these problems from two focal points of teaching; they are the capabilities of teachers and the curriculum. The capabilities of teachers can be traced back to their value orientation (Jewet, Bain and Ennis, 1995) in terms of their awareness of PE and curriculum, and the curriculum itself can be studied from its fexibility in implementation both as documents and guidelines. Historically, both teachers’ value orientation and curriculum of PE in Indonesia nowadays originated from the heart of Indonesia sport history in the time of old-era in the 60s. There has been a considerable paradigm shift in PE since those days. The founding fathers of this nation have utilized the sport movement as strategic and political tools to cure a poor collective self-esteem of the people who had just gained their freedom and liberated themselves from the Dutch colonial occupation. A ABSTRAK Penelitian ini mengkaji metode peningkatan kualitas kinerja guru olah raga dalam melaksanakan tugas utama mereka, pembelajaran olah raga yang memenuhi persyaratan kualitas didaktik dan pedagogis. Penelitian ini sangat penting mengingat banyaknya penyimpangan yang terjadi dalam pelaksanaan landasan flosofs pendidikan olah raga sehingga mengaburkan nuansa pedagogis dan didaktisnya. Untuk mengembangkan paradigma ini, guru olah raga harus memahami landasan flosofs dan orientasi pendidikan olah raga serta implementasi model dan pendekatan pembelajarannya. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti mengembangkan community- based action research dengan berperan sebagai pemimpin guru dalam melaksanakan penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) pada dua SMA di Bandung. Setelah melalui serangkaian perencanaan, implementasi, observasi dan refeksi dalam tiga putaran, peneliti berhasil merubah pemahaman flosofs dan prilaku guru dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran pendidikan olah raga. Selain itu, guru juga memiliki kemampuan melakukan PTK sendiri.
