Introduction: Physical education is essential in fostering children's motivation, motor skills, and physical activity habits, particularly at the elementary school level. Objective: This study explores the effectiveness of sports management based on the sport education model as an innovative approach to physical education in schools to enhance students' motivation, physical activity, and motor skills. Methodology: The research design employs a static group comparison experiment with two groups an experimental group receiving sport education model intervention and a control group following conventional learning. The sample consists of 120 students aged 8-9 years, divided into two groups, each comprising 60 students. Data were collected using a sports motivation questionnaire, the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children, and a motor skills instrument measuring balance, locomotor, and manipulative movements. Results: Statistical analysis results indicate that the sport education model group had significantly higher post-test scores in motivation, physical activity, and motor skills than the control group. Discussion: Conventional pedagogical models have potential effectiveness if supplemented with individualized attention and purposeful goal-oriented feedback. Conclusions: sport education model has the potential to be an effective method in physical education for enhancing student engagement and physical abilities.
