Abstract

Many things influence Learning outcomes, including the Locus of Control (LoC). LoC is a term in psychology that shows a person's beliefs about what causes good or bad things in their life, both in general matters and in specific matters such as health or academics. The research aims to analyze the effect of LoC on improving physical education learning outcomes. The research design is a quasi-experiment with a time-series design. The researchers selected elementary school students in Sumedang Regency as the population and used purposive sampling. Apart from that, the instruments used to measure LoC learning outcomes are multiple-choice and questionnaire-based. The research results showed that the students' internal LoC was 70.7% and the external LoC was 59.7%. The significance value in the multiple regression test for Internal and External LoC is <0.05 for each. Then, we obtained a P-value of 0.000 < 0.05 when testing the hypothesis using one-way ANOVA. Meanwhile, the R-squared value was 0.718. This value indicates that the internal and external LoC variables account for 71.8% of the increase in physical education learning outcomes among elementary school students. Meanwhile, other variables outside this regression equation, or variables that were not examined in this study, influence the remaining 100%—71.9% = 28.9%9. This research concludes that there is a significant simultaneous influence of internal and external LoC on improving physical education learning outcomes for elementary school students in Sumedang Regency. © 2026, Iquz Galaxy Publisher.
