This study focuses on advancing Pencak Silat learning outcomes in elementary school Physical Education (PESH) through an Android-based self-assessment application. PESH is vital for holistic student development, particularly in psychomotor skills. Pencak Silat, a key component, demands precision in fundamental techniques, making immediate error correction pivotal. Post COVID-19 pandemic, the educational landscape has shifted, prompting the exploration of innovative approaches. In response, this research introduces an Android-based self-assessment application designed to provide timely feedback and enhance learning outcomes. The study employs the experimental method. It aims to offer PESH teachers a tool for assessing students' performances and addressing current educational challenges. The quasi-experimental design involves 34 elementary school students, dividing them into experimental and control groups. The former utilizes the self-assessment application, while the latter follows traditional instruction methods. Through pre-and post-test assessments, the impact of the application on psychomotor skill development is evaluated. Expert validation and field testing contribute to the tool's credibility. Statistical analyses, including the paired t-test, determine the significance of observed enhancements. The findings indicate that integrating technology-driven teaching methods into martial arts education yields notable and beneficial enhancements in students' martial arts abilities.This research deepens our comprehension of the impact of self-assessment applications on learning outcomes and underscores the importance of integrating technology into educational approaches. It is recommended that PESH teachers use an Android-based self-assessment application in their curriculum to improve real-time feedback and better precision in fundamental methods, thereby boosting students' skill in Pencak Silat. © Copyright: Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física (FEADEF) ISSN: Edición impresa.
