Abstract

Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) plays a strategic role in shaping students who are healthy, have good character, and a well-rounded personality. However, PJOK teaching practices in many educational units still tend to focus solely on motor skills. This study aims to analyze the transformation of the PJOK learning paradigm through the application of the Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta (KBC) and to examine its impact on the character development of students. This study uses a literature review approach by examining official documents of the Love-Based Curriculum Guidelines, as well as relevant scientific journals discussing humanistic education, affective learning, and value-based physical education. The results of the study show that the application of KBC in PJOK brings a significant paradigm shift from instructional and competitive learning to humanistic, reflective, and love-oriented learning. The Five Values of Love, namely love for Allah and His Messenger, love of knowledge, love of the environment, love of self and others, and love of the homeland, were successfully integrated into the learning process through experiential learning approaches, collaborative methods, and process- and character-based evaluation. This transformation has had a positive impact on increasing student motivation, social relationships, spiritual awareness, empathy, and moral responsibility. Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta is able to make PJOK learning a pedagogy of love, namely an educational vehicle that unites physical health, clarity of thought, and gentleness of heart.
