Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of confidence of students who participate in table tennis extracurricular activities at Madrasah Ibtidaiyyah Darussalam, Central Bengkulu. The study used a survey method with a crosssectional approach, where data was collected once through a confidence questionnaire compiled based on self-efficacy theory by Zhang et al. The study population was 10 students in grades IV–VI who participated in table tennis extracurriculars, with a total sampling technique. The data was analyzed descriptively quantitatively using percentages to determine the category of confidence levels. The results showed that 50% of students had a high level of confidence, 30% were very high, and 20% were in the medium category, with no students included in the low or very low category. These results show that table tennis extracurricular activities contribute positively to the increase in student confidence. This activity not only trains motor skills, but also fosters the courage, responsibility, and motivation of students to perform in front of others. Thus, table tennis extracurricular activities can be used as an effective means of developing the character and confidence of students at madrasah ibtidaiyyah.
