Abstract
The purpose of this study was to verify the effectiveness of virtual reality(VR) contents as a means to improve the quality of physical education by analyzing the effects of T-ball lesson using VR technology on physical self-efficacy of elementary school students. Participants were selected as 90 students in 6th grade A elementary school in Gyeonggi-do, where VR sports room is introduced, and 90 6th grade students in B elementary school running traditional physical education classes. After conducting the pre-test, the experiment group conducted a T-ball class using VR technology over a total of five times, and the control group conducted T-ball lessons in the playground. After the experimental treatments were completed, a post-test was conducted. The independent variables in this study were test, teaching method, and gender, and the dependent variables are physical self-efficacy. The collected data was analyzed by performing a 3-way (2x2x2) ANOVA using the SPSS 23.0 statistical program. As a result of data analysis, the T-Ball class using VR Technology had a positive effect on perceived physical ability factors[F (1,176)=25.899, p＜.001] and physical self-expression confidence factors[F (1,176)=15.059, p＜.001]. These results are believed to have influenced the environmental characteristics of the VR sports room, such as difficulty control, information and data presented on the screen, 3D-based three-dimensional educational environment, and smooth communication. In the future, it is necessary to develop and disseminate various virtual reality sports contents and conduct research on various grades.
