process in schools. Anita Lie's opinion further states
that without the formation of character among the
students, the learning process at school will not run
well and the ultimate goal of education will not be
achieved. This means that a collaboration requires
students who have good understanding to explain to
their friends who do not quite understand.
In addition to the aspect of cooperation, play
ability also affects the learning process of students.
According to Nadler (1986) skills are activities that
require practice or can be interpreted as the
implications of activity. Whereas Munn (1964)
explained that skill is the ability of someone in
carrying out and completing tasks. Therefore, skill is
the level of a person's ability to complete a task.
Subagyo (2010) explained that the skill in
playing soccer is the ability to perform basic
movements or basic techniques of football
efficiently and effectively. Soccer game is said to be
good if every student controls various basic
techniques of playing football. The more basic
techniques are mastered by students, the faster the
cooperation will be formed in a team.
2 THEORETICAL REVIEW
The indicator of mastering soccer play ability is the
ability of students to master various basic techniques
of soccer. In the next learning process, one of the
learning models that can be used to assess soccer
skills is the performance assessment instrument
(GPAI) test. According to Griffin et al. (2005), the
teacher can use the GPAI test on different types of
games for all classification systems (e.g. invasion
games and net/wall). Husdarta (2010) states that
cooperation is joint action between two or more
parties to achieve the same goal. Weinberg and
Gould (2011) also explained that cooperation is a
social process, where all performance is evaluated
and valued, along with the collective achievement of
groups of people who work together to achieve
certain goals.
To improve students’ skills, social skills need to
be expanded. This is because the social skills such as
cooperation will be realized in students by
habituation. Social skills must be developed by
students to improve the ability of cooperation,
expressed by Johnson & Johnson in (Miftahul Huda,
2011). According to Johnson & Johnson, students
need to acquire several skills to be able to coordinate
every effort to achieve group goals. They should be
able to mutually understand and trust one another,
communicate clearly and unambiguously, mutually
accept and support one another, and reconcile any
conflict that can lead to a bigger conflict.
Charney in Ahmad Syarif (2014) explained that
"nothing influences behavior more than your
behavior at the top. You are the role model and your
action, not the slogans on the wall, will influence
how August behave.” A collaborative environment
that encourages working together for a common
purpose, within and among teams, is important for
the organization's success.
Yanuar (2016) explains that skills are activities
that require practice or can be interpreted as the
implications of activities. Whereas, Munn (1964)
explained that skill refers to someone’s ability in
carrying out and completing tasks. Subagyo (2010)
explains that football skills are the ability to perform
basic techniques of football efficiently and
effectively without the ball and with the ball. Soccer
game is said to be fun if each student masters
various basic techniques of the game. The more
basic techniques the students learn, the faster
collaboration will develop in a team.
A mastery indicator of soccer play ability is the
ability of students to master various basic soccer
techniques. In the next learning process, one of the
learning models that can be used to assess soccer
skills is the game performance assessment
instrument (GPAI) test. Furthermore, Griffin et al.
(2005) further explained that the GPAI test is a
convenient assessment instrument to assess skill
execution as well as student support and decision-
making strategies. They were the elements that tend
to be missed in traditional psychomotor assessment.
There are several relevant studies related to
collaboration and play ability that can support this
study. The previous studies explained thatsoccer
skills are the ability of students to master basic
soccer techniques effectively and efficiently to
produce good cooperation. One of the ways to assess
soccer skills was using GPAI (Nurlathifah &
Firmansyah, 2017). They explained that tactical
approaches can improve the ability to play hockey
and the students’ collaboration. Syarif and Winarni
(2015) suggest that the learning model of Teaching
Games for Understanding (TGfU) and theme skills
as well as modification of facilities and
infrastructure can enhance the cooperation and
ability to play strategies on volleyball games. In
addition, Webb, Pearson, and Forrest’s (2009) study
about TGfU concepts to inclusion in sports
education in physical education program (SEPEP)
revealed that both TgfU and SEPEP approaches can
be applied to improve the understanding of students
in game learning through questions.
