Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study aims to investigate the effective ways to implement a physical activity course based on blended learning at a national university of education.BR Method: Five participants who actively participated in the course were recruited for this study. Various qualitative data were collected as part of this qualitative research, including in-depth interviews, memory notes, and evaluation outcomes from motor skills and written tests. For data analysis, a constant comparative method for inductively analyzing data was used to categorize themes connected with the research questions regarding limitations and effectiveness on the physical activity course.BR Results: The results of this study largely derived two broad categories. First, ‘limitation on motor skills development’ includes ‘the lack of desire and motivation’, ‘low level of fundamental motor skills’,and ‘limitation of class environment.’. Second,‘increasing teaching confidence and interest on the physical activity units.’was connected with ‘confidence on teaching behavior for content development’and ‘development of positive consideration about physical education as a school subject.BR Conclusion: It will be necessary to implement physical activity courses based on blended learning focusing on not only developing motor skills, but also promoting cognitive and affective learning so as to maximize the effectiveness of physical activity courses, especially for pre-service elementary teachers who have low levels of interest and motor skills.
