PENGEMBANGAN ALAT UKUR KETERAMPILAN DASAR BERMAIN SOFTBALL

Abstract

Abstract: Developing Instruments to Measure Basic Softball Skills. This study
aims to develop instruments to measure basic softball skills and to test their validity
and reliability. This study shows that (1) the result of overhand throwing
measurement test is (rxx’= 0.704), (2) the sidearm throwing is rxx = 0.604, and (3) the
striking skill is rxx = 0.050. It can be concluded that the instrument to measure the
throwing-striking basic skill has satisfied the validity and reliability criteria, and the
one to measure the striking basic skill is valid although its reliability is low. It is
suggested that (1) a variety of instruments should be developed to measure a
variety of skills, and (2) all practitioners are expected to develop other
measurement instruments not covered in this study.
