Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop life skills through cooperative learning model in aquatic learning activities. To achieve this aim, a classroom action research was employed. The participants were 35 fifth grade students, consisting of 19 males and 16 females. The primary data source was structured observation sheets using indicators adapted from Beamish (2012). The observation took place during the process of teaching and learning. The secondary data sources were interviews and field notes. The research was divided into two cycles, consisting of four actions. Every action was in the form of game in which the participants were required to make movements. The games varied; some used tools, and some did not. Based on data analyses, it was concluded that the use of cooperative learning model in aquatic learning activities improved students’ life skills. The life skill improvement program could run effectively since it was integrated with physical learning activities. Students who participated in the learning process could improve their physical activities and at the same time develop their life skills. Thus, life skills should be included in the physical education curriculum.
