Development of Korfball Basic Skills Test Instrument

Abstract

Korfball is a sport similar to netball and basketball. This sport aims to throw the ball into a basket without a net mounted on a 3.5-meter (11.5-foot) high pole. This game uses techniques or skills that are not very different from basketball, namely passing, shooting, rebounding, etc. Mastery of this material will significantly help increase the effectiveness of the quality of regeneration of korfball athletes. Therefore, researchers want to make an instrument product that contains essential korfball skill test items. Korfball basic skill test instruments have previously been created in several regions in Indonesia, but the Korfball basic skill test is considered imperfect. The test to be developed is a set of basic korfball skill test instruments for adult players, including a shooting skill test, a passing skill test, a skill test to catch the ball from the basket (rebound), and a pivot skill test. Developing basic skill test instruments in korfball will contribute to players measuring basic korfball skills and knowing the development of basic skills and abilities. This study aims to determine the results of the development of the Korfball primary skills test instrument and to find out the results of the basic skills of Aceh Korfball athletes. The research method used is Borg and Gall's Research and Development (R&D) method, which uses ten steps/stages of research. The subjects of this study were ten small groups and 31 large groups. Data were collected using questionnaires and field test testees. Then, the data values were processed by calculating percentages. After collecting data by analysing the needs assessment, as much as 55.44% stated yes, and 44.56% said no. This product was continued based on the need assessment that had been carried out. Based on the data that has been generated and the products developed, it can be concluded that this development product is declared very much needed and can be continued at the next stage.
