Introduction

Duration: 15 - 20 minutes

Emotional Warmup Activity

Guided Meditation for Focus and Concentration

The suggested emotional warm-up activity is a Guided Meditation. This practice will enable students to connect with their current emotional state, encouraging focus, mindfulness, and concentration. Guided meditation involves the teacher or an audio guiding students to concentrate on their breathing and thoughts, creating a serene and centered learning atmosphere.

1. Ask students to sit comfortably in their chairs, ensuring their feet are flat on the ground and their hands are resting on their laps.

2. Instruct them to either close their eyes or, if preferred, focus on a particular spot in the room.

3. Guide the students to take deep breaths, inhaling through their noses and exhaling through their mouths, feeling the air fill their lungs and releasing it slowly.

4. Encourage them to focus solely on their breathing, putting aside any distracting thoughts or concerns.

5. Next, guide them to visualize a calm and safe place, like a serene beach or a field full of blooming flowers. Describe this scene vividly, prompting them to engage all their senses to fully experience it.

6. After a few minutes, gently prompt the students to return their attention to the classroom, while retaining the sense of calm and focus.

7. Conclude the meditation by asking them to open their eyes and do some light stretching to prepare for the lesson.

Content Contextualization

Track and field sports provide an excellent platform to enhance various skills, both physical and emotional. Competing against time, distance, or weight necessitates athletes to possess a high level of self-awareness, helping them recognize their limitations and strengths. These sports also require self-control to maintain composure and focus during competitions.

Additionally, by learning about the diverse types of track and field sports and their rules, students engage in responsible decision-making as they strategize their approach to achieving their goals. Working in teams enhances their social skills, while social awareness is developed through recognizing and respecting the efforts and accomplishments of peers.

Development

Duration: 60 - 75 minutes

Theory Guide

Duration: 20 - 25 minutes

1. ### Main Components of Track and Field Sports

2. Definition: Track and field sports are competitions aimed at surpassing a set parameter measured in time, distance, or weight. Examples include running, jumping, and throwing.

3. Types of Track and Field Sports:

4. Running: Competing based on time, which can involve short-distance (100m, 200m), middle-distance (800m, 1500m), or long-distance (marathon) events.

5. Jumping: Competing based on distance or height, with events like long jump, triple jump, high jump, and pole vault.

6. Throwing: Competing based on the distance an object is thrown, with examples including shot put, discus throw, javelin throw, and hammer throw.

7. Scoring System:

8. Running: The athlete who completes the course the quickest is the winner.

9. Jumping: The athlete achieving the greatest distance or height wins. Generally, each athlete has several attempts, and the best result is recorded.

10. Throwing: The athlete throwing the object the furthest wins. Similar to jumping, multiple attempts are permitted.

11. Basic Rules:

12. Running: Athletes must remain in their assigned lanes (in track races) and cannot impede other competitors.

13. Jumping: Specific take-off and landing zones must be adhered to. For instance, in long jump, the athlete must take off before a marked line and land in the sandpit.

14. Throwing: Designated throwing areas must be used, and the object must land within a defined sector.

15. Practical Examples: Explain how Usain Bolt achieved fame for his performances in the 100m and 200m events, and how Brazil's Thiago Braz clinched the gold medal in pole vault at the 2016 Olympics.

16. Analogies: Compare an athlete's efforts in a long-distance race to a student’s persistence throughout an academic year, where both must maintain a steady pace and resist the urge to give up.

Activity with Socioemotional Feedback

Duration: 25 - 30 minutes

🏃‍♂️ Mini-Olympics Challenge 🏅

Students will be divided into groups to take part in a mini-olympics featuring running, jumping, and throwing events. This activity aims to apply theoretical knowledge while cultivating socioemotional skills such as teamwork, self-control, and responsible decision-making.

1. Divide the classroom into groups of 4 to 5 students.

2. Explain that each group will rotate through various stations: 50m running, long jump, and shot put (using tennis balls).

3. At every station, one student will take on the role of timing or measuring their peers' performances.

4. Allocate a set time (e.g., 5 minutes) for each group to partake in activities at each station.

5. After each round, prompt the students to rotate stations until all groups have experienced each activity.

6. Encourage students to cheer for and motivate one another throughout the activity.

Discussion and Group Feedback

Once the mini-olympics are done, gather the students in a circle for a group discussion. Utilize the RULER method to guide the discussion:

Recognize: Ask the students to articulate their feelings during each activity. What emotions arose while competing or supporting their peers?

Understand: Inquire about the sources of these emotions. What made them feel that way? How did their performances impact their emotions?

Name: Encourage them to identify the emotions they experienced, such as joy, frustration, anxiety, or excitement.

Express: Discuss appropriate ways to convey these emotions during competitions and group activities. Ask them how they could support their peers positively.

Regulate: Wrap up with a discussion on strategies for regulating emotions in future competitions. How can they remain calm and focused? How can they assist their peers in doing the same?

Conclusion

Duration: 15 - 20 minutes

Reflection and Emotional Regulation

Have students write a short paragraph reflecting on the challenges they encountered during the mini-olympics and how they coped with their emotions. Alternatively, facilitate a group discussion where each student can share their experiences and feelings. Encourage them to consider the strategies they utilized to handle pressure and the effectiveness of those approaches.

Objective: The aim of this activity is to promote self-assessment and emotional regulation, assisting students in identifying effective strategies for managing challenging situations. This reflection will enable them to recognize their emotions and enhance self-control and self-awareness skills, vital in both sports and daily life.

Glimpse into the Future

Facilitate a brief session where students can establish personal and academic goals related to track and field sports. Explain how these goals can aid in their ongoing development of physical and emotional skills. Encourage students to identify small steps they can take to achieve these goals, fostering a sense of autonomy and purpose.

Penetapan Objective:

1. Improve running time by 5%

2. Increase jumping distance by 10%

3. Participate in a school sports meet

4. Develop a weekly training schedule

5. Enhance teamwork skills

6. Practice breathing techniques for better self-control during competitions Objective: The purpose of this subsection is to bolster students' independence and the practical application of their learning, motivating them to persist in developing their physical and emotional skills. By setting clear and achievable goals, students will remain motivated and committed to their progress in sports and other aspects of their lives.
