Hence, there needs to be a solution to this problem by developing a learning model to help and improve the latest innovations in physical education learning for students with intellectual disabilities. Objectives. This study aims to determine the effect of the cooperative learning model of the team games tournament type on the basic motor skills of students with mild intellectual disabilities who are under the needs of students with intellectual disabilities in special schools. Methods. This study is an experimental study with a Quasi-experimental design with design (posttest-only control design). The population in this study were students with intellectual disabilities in special schools in Dharmasraya Regency. The sample of this study was students with low intellectual disabilities in phases B&C who were in the age range of 8 to 13 years at SLBN Pulau Punjung as a control class and at SLB Koto Agung as an experimental class in Dharmasraya Regency. The research instrument was the Scott Motor Ability movement ability test. Results. Based on the hypothesis test results using the independent sample t-test, a significance of <0.05 was obtained. Conclusions.
