This study aims to analyze the use of technology-based Smart Music Boxing media on the manipulative motor skills of students in the Elementary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Study Program, Faculty of Education, Universitas Negeri Medan. The study was motivated by the need for innovative, technology-based physical education learning media to support the development of manipulative motor skills among prospective elementary school teachers. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The research subjects were PGSD students enrolled in Physical Education courses, with the experimental group receiving learning activities using Smart Music Boxing media, while the control group received conventional learning. Data were collected using four instruments: the Punch Speed Test, Target Accuracy Test, Rhythm Synchronization Test, and Combination Punch Test. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics after fulfilling the required analysis assumptions. The results showed an improvement in manipulative motor skills in the experimental group after receiving treatment using Smart Music Boxing. The average score of the Punch Speed Test increased from 65.51 to 84.94, the Target Accuracy Test from 66.34 to 84.80, the Rhythm Synchronization Test from 67.00 to 84.71, and the Combination Punch Test from 67.37 to 85.26. During the treatment, students also demonstrated higher levels of participation, enthusiasm, and engagement through technology-based training supported by real-time feedback. These findings indicate that Smart Music Boxing has potential as an innovative learning medium to support the improvement of students’ manipulative motor skills and the development of technology-based Physical Education learning.
