This research investigates the effectiveness of a tactical approach in developing badminton game skills among secondary school students aged 13-16 years. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with 64 participants divided into experimental (tactical approach) and control (traditional technical approach) groups over a 12-week intervention period. The tactical approach emphasized game-contextual learning, tactical awareness, and decision-making within authentic game situations, contrasting with the control group's drill-based technical instruction.
Results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in the experimental group across multiple dimensions. Students receiving tactical instruction showed superior performance in tactical decision-making (p<0.001), skill execution within game contexts (p<0.01), and overall game performance. Motivational outcomes revealed enhanced intrinsic motivation, increased autonomous regulation, and higher levels of enjoyment among tactical approach participants. The findings advocate for curriculum reform in secondary physical education, emphasizing the integration of tactical approaches to enhance both skill development and student motivation.
