An Experimental Study on the Effect of Blended Teaching Method on Learning Basketball Skills and Learning Motivation for College Students

Abstract

The blended teaching and learning method that combine traditional face-to-face teaching with modern computer network information technology have attracted more and more attention and favor. This study explored the effects of blended teaching and learning methods on the motor learning and learning motivation of college students in basketball learning. The results would provide the scientific basis and reference for the application and promotion of this new teaching and learning method in physical education and training. A teaching experimental research design was employed, the sample included 90 male college students, and they were divided into an experimental group (n = 45) and a control group (n = 45) by using the cluster sampling method. The experimental group received the blending teaching method, while the control group received the traditional teaching method for 8 weeks of training. General basketball skills assessment and the Behavioral Regulation in Physical Education Questionnaire (BRPEQ) were used to examine the effects of both teaching methods on basketball skills learning. The research results show that compared with the traditional teaching mode, the blended teaching mode has significant advantages in the mastery of college students’ basketball skills and the improvement of learning motivation.
