Influence of Reciprocal Teaching Style and Exploration of Elementary Students Motor Ability

The problem in this research is low students’ sport or physical exercise achievement. Several factors cause this problem; one of them is the teacher way or style in teaching. The purpose of this research was to experimental research. The instrument was a motor ability test that consists of 6 items. The technique of data analysis used statistic inferential by using a t-test. The result o this research :(1). Reciprocal style increases students’ motor ability to find out the influence of reciprocal and exploration style toward students’ motor ability. This research was quays with th = 7,96 > tt = 2,16. (2). Exploration style increase students' motor ability with th = 2,33 > tt = 2,16. (3). Reciprocal style is better than exploration style toward students' motor ability, with th = 2,04 > tt = 1,71. Keywords— Reciprocal style, exploration style, motor ability.
