Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach with a survey design. The population consisted of 47 fifth-grade students at SDN Jawa 5, Banjarbaru, Indonesia. The variables in this study were physical literacy, motivation, and self-confidence. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistical analysis in the form of percentages to determine the level of each variable.
