Applying Artificial Intelligence Algorithm through Immersive Technology for Physical Education

Abstract

Inclusive education is a fundamental human right. However, students with learning disabilities are sometimes excluded from physical education. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technology are the type of immersive learning that have provided better learning experiences. Personalized learning makes its way towards inclusion in the classroom due to its effectiveness in individualized learning materials by considering the students' different attributes. Thus, this study aims to redesign a personalized and immersive trainer application to facilitate the learning process for the students with learning disabilities (SLD) in physical education using an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm and immersive technologies. This qualitative study assesses ten teachers and 30 students from a special needs school via observation and interviews to design a personalized, immersive physical education learning app. Experts’ views and secondary data are also used as supplementary material for the construction of the app. From the interviews and observations done with the students and teachers, it can be concluded that the SLD can learn visually with suitable guidance from the teacher and trainer. The end output of this study is the design of a Personalized Learning System (PLS) that hopefully can be beneficial for developer and educator that wanted to design a good PLS for SLD. Educators and developers can use the result to create a suitable customized app for students with disabilities in learning physical education.
