My adviser is using SMART. Since the subject had been taught is Pendidikan Jasmani Olahraga Dan Kesehatan (PJOK) or Physical Education (PE) and the topic being taught is Basketball. During my observation at SMP Laboratorium at UM, my cooperating teacher/adviser is using Student-Centered approach, this approach is very important because the students are learning by their own. The learners need to learn the different skills in basketball such as passing, dribbling and shooting. The teacher and the students go at the Arena Arsimbo to learn the different skills in basketball.
