Abstract: This study intends to improve basic technique ability high jump with straddle style through band rubber
ruler for eight grade students in SMP N 1 Matesih. The research method was Classroom Action Research
consisting of planning, action, observation, and analysis/reflection. The data collection technique was
observation using student observation sheets, student test result, and documentation. The data analysis
technique was conducted using interactive analysis by selecting the data that had been obtained, then the
selected data were analysed and the conclusions were drawn. The research result shows that rubber band
ruler can improve the mastery of high straddle style jump technique among eight grade students in SMP N 1
Matesih. It was proven by the results obtained from the first cycle that 18 of 36 students (50%) have
achieved the Minimum Completion Criteria score. Meanwhile, the results from the second cycle
demonstrated that 31 of 36 students (86%) have achieved, or even achieved higher than the Minimum
Completion Criteria scores.
1 INTRODUCTION
The demands of the education world are getting
bigger because education is the initial capital of
nation building, in intensifying the implementation
of learning as a process of human development that
lasts a lifetime. According to the Law, SISDIKNAS
No.20/2003, education is a conscious and planned
effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning
process so that students could actively develop
religious spiritual potential, self-control, personality,
intelligence, noble character, and skills needed by
themselves and society.
Physical Education (PE) is one of the subjects
listed in the curriculum, so skills, abilities,
knowledge, and positive attitudes within PE are
determined in a good curriculum. PE is basically an
integral part of the education system as a whole,
which aims to develop aspects of health, physical
fitness, critical thinking skills, emotional stability,
moral reasoning and actions, through physical
activity and sports (Rahayu, 2013).
Athletics is a physical activity to improve the
biomotor ability, such as strength, endurance, speed,
flexibility, coordination, which consists of basic
movements (Purnomo & Dapan, 2011). They are
dynamic and harmonious, namely walking, running,
jumping, and throwing. High jump is one of the
athletic sports.
Learning physical education, sports and health
in SMP N 1 Matesih Karanganyar runs well, but the
expected results are not optimal, especially in
athletic learning. High jump techniqueare rarely
taught by teachers. Although high jump material is
included in the learning syllabus, the physical
education teacher at SMP N 1 Matesih stated that the
last high jump learning was given in the past few
years. The problems faced by the teacher when it
comes to teaching high jumpminimum
understanding of the high jump techniques, facilities
and infrastructure, and also student motivation.
Students feel afraid so that the need for teacher
creativity in modifying infrastructure could attract
students' interest. In addition,learning is also
influenced by several things including teacher
factors, facility factors, material factors, learning

objectives and, student factors. Students also have an
important role in achieving learning objectives.
Based on these problems, it is necessary to
improve high jump learning by applying the use of a
rubber band. The rubber band is strung to help with
the floating technique as a substitute for bamboo
blades or standard tools. The goal is to foster
students’ courage s when jumping so that the
students could perform a more relaxed but correct
high jump technique according to the procedures in
high jump learning.
2 RESEARCH METHOD
2.1 Research Design
This study employed Classroom Action Research
(CAR).
2.2 Research Setting
Classroom Action Research (CAR) was carried out
during the second semester of the 2017/2018
academic year, in March 2018. It was conducted in
SMP N 1 Matesih.
2.3 Research Subjects
The subjects to be examined in Class Action
Research are eight grade students in VIII G at SMP
Negeri 1 Matesih. The total students were 36
students consisting of 14 male and 22 female
students.
2.4 Procedure
Action research consists of 4 (four) principal
components that also show the steps, namely,
Planning, Acting, Observing, and Reflecting
(Kusuma & Dwitagama, 2010).
The stages are as follows:
Figure 1: CAR cycle (Kemmis & Mc. Taggart, 2005)
(a) Planning includes what, why, when, where, by
whom, and how actions will be taken, (b) Action
includes the implementation or application of the
design in the classroom, (c) Observation includes
observations guided by observation sheets, (d)
Reflection includes reiterating what has happened.
2.5 Instruments and Data Collection
Techniques
Data collection techniques in this study was
observation with observation sheets as the research
instrument.

2.6 Data Analysis Techniques
The data were analysed using interactive analysis.
Interactive analysis consists of three components of
activities that are interrelated with each other: data
reduction, data display and drawing conclusions
(Kunandar, 2011).
2.7 Indicators of Successful Action
Research is said to be successful or can be stopped if
the indicators of successfull action can be fulfilled.
Indicators of achievement includes students’
improved mastery of basic techniques of high jump
straddle style by using rubber band ruler, with a
percentage of success determined 80%.

3.2 Discussion
There was an improved result of the students’
mastery of straddle style high jump technique in
Class VIII G SMP N 1 Matesih by using a rubber
band crossbar in the second cycle of the second
meeting. This result was derived from comparing the
initial data and learning outcomes in the first cycle
and the second cycle. The significant increase was in
accordance with the successful indicators of the
determined actions. The students' completion in the
first cycle was 50%, which implies that 18 of 36
completed high jump in the first meeting, and the
completion rate improved into 86% in the second
meeting, which implies that 31 of 36
studentscompleted it.
4 CONCLUSIONS AND
SUGGESTIONS
4.1 Conclusions
The results showed that within both meetings in
cycle 1, students’ mastery of the straddle style high
jump technique has improved. There was a
significant increase compared to the initial data and
the first meeting data. The increase in students’
mastery in the second meeting was in accordance
with the indicators of success of the action, with the
percentage of completeness in students as much as
86%. 31 of 36 students achieved the same or higher
score than the Minimum Completion Criteria score,
which was76.
4.2 Suggestions
(1) The students should understand better about the
high jump technique properly and correctly so they
can correct the mistakes. (2) The teachers should be
able to find new ideas as much as possible to
achieve maximum abilities. Many surrounding
environments can be used to support a balanced
learning process. In addition, the teacher’s task
includes understanding the students’ condition in
addition to being an educator, teacher, and also
counselor. They should be aware of the students’
interest in learning as well as their physical and
psychological conditions for implementing effective
and efficient learning.
