Abstract

The paper focused on application of information and communication technology (ICT) in the administration of physical education and sports. Information and communication technology was seen on the convergence of audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks which covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit and receive digital information. This facility was shown to be very useful in the administration of physical education and sports. The device enhances communication of information in the administration of physical education and sports. It also enhances experience in dance and dance education, and provides feedback that make teachers evaluate success in the programme and make students work harder. The paper saw ICT hardware and software as veritable tool for teaching physical education and simplifying data collection and analysis. The paper concluded that ICT represents one of the most useful tools for enhancing the decoding of physical education and sports curriculum if used correctly, and therefore recommended that proper practical ICT training should be provided for physical education teachers and student in schools and colleges by the ministry of science and education.

Highlights

This decade is characterized by rapid technological advances
These changes range from the method instruction is delivered to the attitudes on how learning occurs to the amount of collaboration and knowledge sharing between students, and between teachers, managers and administrators
Before using information and communication technology (ICT) in our schools as a teaching tool, these important questions must be addressed? What technological options are available for our physical educators? Do using technological tools in the PE classes motivate the students? What is the role of technology as an assessment tool how it is linked to performance?

Summary

Introduction

This decade is characterized by rapid technological advances. Being in the digital era, technology has accounted for many changes in the educational sector.
