Background: Evidence indicates that cricket match results depend on the quality of sport motivation (SM) and technical skills (TS) of elite athletes, and both aspects can be improved through coaches' verbal encouragement during circuit training (CVEdCT). However, limited research has examined the combined effect of verbal encouragement within structured circuit training on both psychological and technical outcomes in cricket. Objectives: Our study aims to examine the effect of CVEdCT on improving SM and TS. Methods: This study adopted an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. We involved 38 elite cricket athletes in this study. Overall, this study was conducted over a period of 9 weeks. The SM and TS aspects were measured at the pretest and posttest stages. Results: Our research results show that there is a time × group effect on the SM variable in all indicators of intrinsic motivation (p = 0.007), integrated regulation (p = 0.0012), external regulation (p < 0.001), amotivation (p = 0.010), and TS variables with indicators of batting accuracy (p < 0.001), bowling speed (p = 0.006), bowling accuracy (p < 0.001), and fielding efficiency (p = 0.024). Meanwhile, we observed a time effect on the indicators of intrinsic motivation (p = 0.002), integrated regulation (p = 0.031), external regulation (p = 0.013), and amotivation (p = 0.048). Additionally, the TS variable showed significant effects for the indicators of batting accuracy (p = 0.007), bowling speed (p = 0.003), bowling accuracy (p = 0.011), and fielding efficiency (p = 0.006). Based on the Poshoc Bonferroni analysis, there was a significant effect of both groups on SM and TS, but the increase was greater in CVEdCT than CTG. Conclusion: Thus, this study concludes that CVEdCT can improve SM and TS among elite cricket athletes better than CTG.
Mediation in the settlement of divorce disputes in Indonesian Religious Court has been institutionalized through Supreme Court Regulation (PERMA) Number 1 of 2016. However, there are still significant challenges in the implementation as mediation tends to be a procedural requirement rather than an effective mechanism for reconciliation. This study aims to find out the normative basis of mediation in Islamic family law, evaluate the implementation of court annexed mediation in the Religious Courts in Indonesia, and find the institutional and normative gaps that affect the effectiveness of mediation. This research is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual and doctrinal approach. Legal materials were collected by means of systematic review of primary, secondary and tertiary legal sources and analysed by the means of qualitative content analysis and normative legal interpretation. The results show that Islamic family law provides a comprehensive normative system through the principles of islah, hakam, and maqashid al-shariah, while court-annexed mediation remains largely procedural, resulting in a significant institutional gap between family-based reconciliation and judicial mediation. Following this, this study presents an Integrated Mediation Framework, which systematically integrates Islamic legal principles with court-annexed mediation to enhance divorce dispute resolution. The proposed model integrates Islamic legal principles, family participation, judicial supervision and professional mediation into a comprehensive model of dispute resolution. The framework is the main contribution of the study as it bridges classical Islamic family law with contemporary judicial mediation and provides practical guidance to improve mediation practice and judicial policy in Indonesia’s Religious Courts.
This study analyzes the influence of the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit leadership on the performance of members of the Criminal Investigation Unit at Cirebon City Police Resort. The study applies an explanatory survey method with a quantitative approach. The population consisted of 38 criminal investigation personnel, and all of them were included as the sample through total sampling. Leadership was measured through four functions, namely innovator, communicator, motivator, and controller. Performance was measured through work quality, timeliness, initiative, capability, and communication. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. Instrument testing reported in the thesis indicates that all items are valid and reliable. Path analysis was employed to examine the simultaneous effect of leadership and the contribution of each leadership dimension to member performance. The findings show that the leadership of the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit is categorized as good, with an average score of 69.80 percent or a rating value of 3.52, while member performance is categorized as fairly good, with an average score of 67.37 percent or a rating value of 3.29. Simultaneously, leadership affects member performance by 67.45 percent, while the remaining 32.55 percent is explained by other factors outside the model. In the thesis model, the largest total contribution comes from the controller function, followed by motivator, innovator, and communicator functions. These results indicate that supervisory strength, internal coaching, communication quality, and the leader ability to direct organizational resources are crucial to improving the performance of criminal investigation personnel.
Mathematics achievement at the junior high school level remains a significant challenge, with non-cognitive factors such as self-regulated learning (SRL) playing a critical role alongside cognitive ability. This study aims to develop a mathematical model for classifying Mathematics SRL profiles of junior high school students in Cirebon City using K-Means Clustering. A descriptive-exploratory quantitative design was employed with 68 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated Mathematics SRL questionnaire (α = 0.823) encompassing four dimensions: Goal Setting, Self-Monitoring, Self-Efficacy, and Metacognition Motivation. Prior to clustering, data were standardized using Z-score normalization and analyzed through Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The optimal number of clusters (K = 3) was determined via the Elbow Method and Silhouette Index (SI = 0.286). Results identified three distinct student profiles: High (32.4%), Moderate (45.6%), and Low (22.1%), with statistically significant differences across all SRL dimensions (p 0.001). Self-Efficacy emerged as the most discriminating dimension (F = 70.349). The resulting classification model, C*(xᵢ) = , serves as a practical diagnostic tool for identifying student SRL profiles, enabling educators to design targeted, evidence-based pedagogical interventions.
Background: Motor tasks (MT) and team performance (TP) are important aspects for young basketball athletes. However, empirical evidence examining the mediating role of specific motor tasks in the relationship between coach–athlete relationships and team performance among youth basketball athletes remains limited. Objectives: Thus, our current study aims to investigate how CAR is related to MT and TP and how MT mediates TP. Methods: Our current study employed a cross-sectional design. We also recruited 180 young basketball players. The Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CAR) was used to measure performance. This study employed Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) analysis. Results: We observed that CAR was significantly related to MT (β = 0.68, p < 0.001) and TP (β = 0.45, p < 0.001). In addition, we observed that MT mediated the effect directly with TP (β = 0.52, p < 0.001). Conclusion: We conclude in our findings that the quality of MT and TP is greatly influenced by CAR. Therefore, it is important for coaches to start focusing on the development of CAR in young basketball athletes. Therefore, this study contributes to the literature on how TP is significantly related to CAR and MT. Furthermore, the findings of this study provides valuable information for basketball coaches about the importance of CAR and MT for future athlete performance.
