Development of referee performance assessment instruments for athletic sports

Abstract

Introduction: The background of this study is that there is no standardized instrument to measure referees' abilities, so it is urgent to do research. In the future, with the existence of this instrument, it can be an evaluation material and benchmark for referee performance. Objective: The purpose of development research is to create an athletic referee performance assessment instrument that includes Aspects of Professional Responsibility, Aspects of Rule Mastery, Aspects of Leading Skills, and Aspects of Neatness. Methodology: The research method used is development research, following 10 research steps with the Research and Development method. The research subjects were athletic referees, as many as 33 people who served in all race numbers. The data analysis technique used is quantitative analysis, which is an assessment using numbers by conducting validity tests, reliability tests, and average analyses. Results: The developed product's results have advantages, such as the absence of a concrete instrument to measure athletic referees' performance. In addition, it makes it easy to record athletic referees' performance in all athletic match numbers, and the instrument is available in a web-based application version. Discussion: This instrument is suitable for measuring the performance of athletic referees in running, walking, jumping, and throwing numbers and has been supported by previous research results. Conclusion: The results of this study conclude that the athletic referee performance assessment instrument that has been developed is feasible to use after being declared a valid and reliable instrument.
