The Application of Information Technology in Physical Education Teaching and Training

This research determined the application strategy of information technology in the learning of physical education, and sports and training of Hunan Institute of Physical Education. The study conducted a parallel analysis of the assessment collected from both sports-student-respondents and physical education teacher-respondents. This research which used a purposive sampling technique adopted the descriptive-comparative-correlational research design. It was conducted during the second semester of school year 2022-2023. The results garnered from both group of respondents were compared, analyzed, and interpreted. Based from the findings, majority of the students are below 18 years old, mostly females, and were from grade 10. majority of the teachers are 31 -40 years and 41-50 years old; are females; and have up to 16-20 years of teaching experience. On the application of information technology in the learning of physical education in terms of learning experience, the assessment showed that the students and teachers agreed, denoting a high level of the use of technology for improved learning experience when it comes to increased flexibility as in virtual learning, providing individual-oriented experience, use of gaming systems in gym classes to enhance learning experience, etc. The assessment scores of the teachers on the use of IT for learning physical education were significantly higher compared to those of the students. From the perspective of the students and teachers, technology was used for analyzing sports performance at a high level because coaches apply information technology for visual feedback and replays, high-definition cameras are used to monitor players in the pitch, data analytics are used to study and understand the team, information technology is applied in sports to provide measurable training routines, for Live-tracking performances, etc. The assessment scores of the teachers on the use of information technology for sports and training were significantly lower compared to those of the students. The negative correlation between the use of information technology for sports and training and the learning experience of the students suggests that a low-level usage of information technology for sports and training was connected to a poor learning experience of the students. Lastly, the researcher proposed a plan to promote the use of information technology in physical education learning and sports training

Development of Football Teaching Program for Xi’an Physical Education University Students

Background and Aim: Xi'an Institute of Physical Education may be faced with problems such as unreasonable teaching settings, outdated teaching methods, and imperfect evaluation systems when offering football courses. To improve these problems, schools should pay attention to the flexibility and individuation of the teaching, strengthen the training and introduction of teachers, explore innovative teaching methods, and establish a perfect teaching evaluation system to improve students' football skills and theoretical knowledge reserve. Materials and Methods: The participants of this research were 29 people through purposive sampling. 5 experts to conduct face-to-face interviews to combine programs for the football model framework. 5 IOC inspection specialists to check the validity of the questionnaire. 19 experts to Delphi consensus modify the program for football model framework. 9 experts for a focus group to determine the program for the football model. In this research, Excel software was used to calculate the data of the IOC inspection specialist result and the data of the focus group. The coefficient of variation (CV) and the median were used as the evaluation criteria for screening factors. Results: The analysis indicated the need for a comprehensive system for teaching soccer courses in higher education. The football teaching model contains 4 first-level elements (pedagogical analysis, teaching development, competition, and orientation), which are further divided into 15 second-level elements and 38 third-level elements. Each component addresses a specific outcome goal, emphasizing teaching and learning situations, teaching construction, competition, and cultivation orientation. The proposed outcome-oriented soccer teaching system provides a comprehensive soccer teaching teaching model that integrates sport-specific skills and life-oriented skills. Conclusion: The model is in line with China's national development goals and the educational principle of building moral character and is expected to bring about changes in soccer education at Xi'an Physical Education Academy and set a benchmark for other provinces.

The interplay of normative, descriptive, and prescriptive discourses in shaping student teacher development: an analysis of physical education inspection reports

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze physical education (PE) inspection discourse for insights into mentoring practices and teaching quality improvement. Examining reports provided perspective into normative, descriptive, and prescriptive evaluation aspects shaping student teacher development. Methods: The study involved 29 Tunisian inspectors of student teachers at the High Institute of Sport and Physical Education during the Fall 2022 academic term. In total, 117 pedagogical reports were obtained confidentially for discourse analysis. The analysis focuses on three types of discourse that may be present in the inspection reports: normative, descriptive, and prescriptive. The objective is to extract the most frequently used words and verbs by inspectors and to quantify the frequency of terms related to these three dimensions. Results: Analysis of verb and word frequencies within different discourse types revealed a significant association (χ² test, P= .0013, Cramer's V= .17, moderate effect size). Pedagogical inspectors predominantly employed normative language, with 78.1% of words and 62.7% of verbs falling into this category. This dominance suggests a focus on guiding, advising, and encouraging teachers through references to specific standards and practices. Notably, verbs like "guide" and "suggest" (14% and 12% frequency, respectively) were prevalent, highlighting a collaborative approach over direct imposition. Conclusions: This study challenges the singular focus on discourse modalities in inspector reports, revealing a multifaceted discourse ecosystem. While normative language sets standards and benchmarks, descriptive language captures classroom realities, and prescriptive language offers targeted guidance. This interplay fosters critical reflection, professional autonomy, and continuous improvement in student teachers. Inspectors, therefore, emerge as more than evaluators; they are facilitators.

INTERNET ADDICTION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO PSYCHOLOGICAL COMPATIBILITY AMONG PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS AT OUARGLA UNIVERSITY

The aim of this study was to know the relationship between Internet addiction and psychosocial compatibility among students of physical education. The Internet Addiction Scale and psychosocial compatibility Scale were employed to assess the levels of variables and the relationship between them. The sample comprised 60 students of the Institute of Physical Education and Sport University of Ouargla, in Algeria. The results showed that there was an average level of Internet addiction (Mean=3.11; Standard deviation = 0.54) among physical education students and a high level of psychosocial compatibility Mean=2.65; Standard deviation = 0.18), and there was a negative correlation between Internet addiction and psychosocial compatibility. The inverse relationship between Internet addiction and psychosocial compatibility explains that excessive use of the Internet in a misplaced way exposes the individual to many psychological and social disorders.

An empirical study on the match-lead-in training mode in the general football course of physical education institute

Football has always been a traditional item in sports colleges and universities in China, and is loved by teachers and students, but the traditional teaching mode of football general course has failed to meet the requirements of contemporary high-quality teaching. The author introduces the “match lead-in training” mode into the general football course to carry out teaching experimental research. Through the comparative analysis of the statistics of technical data and the test of special skills in four-person and six-person matches, the author finds that this teaching mode is more conducive to the improvement of students’ football technology, skill level and competition ability than that of the traditional football general course.

Capoeira as a critical pedagogy tool in physical education: from a continuing professional development program to the classroom

ABSTRACT Background In this globalized world with a predominantly Eurocentric/androcentric approach to physical education (PE) teaching, there is a need to broaden school curricula from a critical, decolonizing approach. Capoeira is a manifestation of Afro-Brazilian popular culture combining dance, fight, and play that has historical links to slavery. Because it is removed from the hegemonic culture of sport and physical activity, it can be used to develop critical pedagogy through movement and corporeality. Teachers, however, must be equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to implement this critical approach in their curricula. A team of researchers at the National Institute of Physical Education of Catalonia (INEFC) developed a continuing professional development (CPD) course to introduce PE teachers to the history and potential of capoeira as a socio-critical pedagogical tool. Purpose To explore the opportunities and challenges that capoeira brings as a pedagogical tool for addressing social issues as perceived by PE teachers who took a CPD course on capoeira (Capoeira-CPDC). Methodology This study was divided into two phases: an initial phase analyzing the TTC on capoeira as a pedagogical tool for PE taken by 12 PE teachers and a second phase analyzing the transfer of knowledge by a primary and a secondary school teacher from the same school who participated in the course. Data were collected via participative and non-participative observation with analysis of diary entries made by the lead researcher-teacher educator, the 12 teachers who participated in the Capoeira-CPDC in phase 1, and the two teachers who incorporated capoeira into their PE classes in phase 2; answers to the course feedback form; and transcripts from a semi-structured interview held with the two teachers who taught capoeira. Results The Capoeira-CPDC and subsequent incorporation of capoeira into primary and secondary school PE classes showed a wide array of benefits and limitations that this practice can offer in terms of addressing social justice, interculturality, and coeducation issues. The socio-critical pedagogical model employed in the Capoeira-CPDC, which focused on both the technical aspects of capoeira and the historical and cultural significance of the movements involved, fostered active-reflective thinking among the participating teachers. Certain challenges, however, were observed in the second phase of the study, in particular difficulties dealing directly with the subject of slavery in PE classes, a romantic-assimilation-based vision of physical activity and sport as an intercultural tool, and gender-role stereotyping by teachers. Conclusion This study highlights the potential of capoeira as a pedagogical tool for addressing social justice, interculturality, and coeducation issues from a socio-critical approach. It also highlights potential difficulties in the classroom and the importance of addressing social justice issues in PE teacher CPD courses and facilitating tools to work on cultural diversity and gender belief systems.

Portuguese research on physical education and sport didactics-a critical discussion.

This article presents a discussion of research in Physical Education and Sport Didactics in Portugal. It starts by situating it from an historical perspective, placing the 1980s as the beginning era, mainly based on the studies provided by the two first Physical Education higher education institutes of the country. The initial research, first based on master and doctoral dissertations, progressed to ongoing projects that have been disseminated in international and national journals and books. This development is also reported from the theoretical, conceptual, and methodological perspectives, showing how it has informed the quality of Physical Education and teacher education as the two main research strands to be described, however, acknowledging that a strand on sports coaching and coach education exists. On teaching Physical Education, the article discusses the elements relative to the teacher and to the student, focusing from the immediate and short-term to the distant and long-term events that lead into young adulthood's active lifestyles. In this analysis, research on curriculum and assessment are also reported. On physical education teacher education, the article shows the prevalence of the post-primary Physical Education to argue for the need for more research on primary-level education, and discusses the diverse foci from initial teacher education to in-service education practises. In line with current trends in research, we suggest a set of four features for the future research agenda: (1) addressing short to long-term outcomes of Physical Education; (2) adopting multifactorial and multi-layered perspectives of analysis; (3) embracing inter- and multidisciplinary designs; and (4) taking comparative perspectives within and between European countries, and between Europe and other continents. We conclude that these features need to focus on four levels of integration and cooperation: (a) integration between the research initiatives and the needs of the professional field; (b) integration between research on teaching and learning, teacher education and the curriculum; (c) cooperation between the different national higher education and professional institutions; and (d) integration in the international research agenda by leading and participating in project partnerships which are needed to fully and effectively implement such agenda.

Analysis of the factors influencing the metabolic risk of students’ body functions in physical education institutions and the construction of a diagnostic model

Abstract As a critical transition period from adolescence to youth, college students’ health behaviors, and physical forms are gradually maturing, and nowadays, college students’ obsession with smartphones largely causes great harm to their body function metabolism. This paper mainly evaluates and analyzes the physical function metabolic risk of college students in physical education institutions themselves by linear regression model and least squares method, studies the correlation between body fat percentage and physical fitness and functional metabolic risk of college students, analyzes the mediating effect of body fat percentage between physical fitness and physical function metabolic risk, and finally analyzes the body fat percentage, physical fitness and joint indexes of different genders. The results showed that the physical fitness index, including grip strength index and maximal oxygen uptake, could significantly diagnose the functional metabolic risk of college students. There may be professional and gender differences in grip strength index and maximal oxygen uptake to diagnose functional metabolic risk in college students. This study provides a reliable theoretical basis for coaches’ training programs.

ЕВОЛЮЦІЯ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ВДОСКОНАЛЕННЯ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ОСВІТИ В ГАЛУЗІ ФІЗИЧНОЇ КУЛЬТУРИ ТА СПОРТУ В УКРАЇНІ

In Ukraine, the process of integrating the achievements of other European countries in the field of physical culture and sports into the educational process of higher education institutions continues. Special attention is focused on the training of specialists for this field. The construction of a modern system of professional physical education is based not only on the leading achievements of other countries, but also on the best domestic achievements in the field of physical culture and sports. To ensure a high level of readiness of graduates of physical education institutions, it is important to take into account the current needs of the labor market. It is the needs of the market that dictate the list of competencies that a graduate must possess in order to be competitive. The fullness and variability of educational programs for professional training of future specialists in the field of physical culture and sports should take into account the relevant requirements of the modern labor market, as well as be consistent with the requirements of the national qualifications framework. To build an effective system of higher education in the field of physical culture and sports, it is important to know and understand the process of formation of the national system of professional education and to consider the miscalculations made in previous years. Such an analysis allows building a new powerful educational platform for the training of future specialists in the field of physical culture and sports and avoiding possible mistakes, preserving, and multiplying national traditions and values in this field. The article presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the formation of domestic professional education in the field of physical culture and sports, practical experience, and the authors' point of view regarding the ways of preserving professionalization in education. The basis of training is the chosen sport, the character of the students' educational activity is changing. Preservation of the unity of the educational environment of professional education in the field of physical culture and sports in Ukraine is possible based on the definition of a list of common general professional competencies at the bachelor's (readiness for practical-oriented activity) and master's (readiness for analytical activity based on the integration of physical fields of knowledge) education levels. Key words: training of specialists, competence-oriented approach, national traditions in professional education, profiling, specificity of training areas.

Rational Practice and Deep Reflection on Integrating Ideological and Political Theory Courses into College Physical Education Teaching

Based on the research on the practical teaching system of ideological and political theory courses in physical education institutions, combined with the practices and experiences accumulated in the practical teaching of ideological and political theory courses in Harbin Institute of Physical Education in recent years, this paper attempts to propose the basic composition, innovative expansion, and operational guarantee of the practical teaching system of ideological and political theory courses in physical education institutions. It is expected to provide valuable reference for the construction and reform of practical teaching of ideological and political theory courses in national universities. The discipline of physical education itself has inherent advantages in ideological and political education work. However, the various problems that have permeated the existing teaching process also require substantive adjustments in the future education process, especially the connection between the current development status of physical education teaching in universities and future education work, which is the core content of the current situation.

The comparative analysis of opinions of residents of the northern Caucasus Okrug and persons making decisions concerning issues of healthy municipal planning in its municipalities

The article presents comparative results of studying opinion of citizens and officials making decisions on modernization of urban environment, about cities conditions. It is established that valuations of citizens and decision makers about urban infrastructure, its quantity and quality, process of cooperation in this area as well as consideration of interests in healthy urban planning differ significantly. The majority of surveyed decision-makers are more satisfied with conditions of their city infrastructure than citizens. The same trend persists in assessing quantity and quality of sport and physical education institutions. On the contrary, environmental situation in municipalities is more likely to suit citizens as compared to decision makers. The decision-makers are more optimistic about intersectorial cooperation in issues of healthy urban planning. The respondents note that issues and interests of health are not sufficiently considered in development and adoption of urban planning decisions in their municipalities. To correct the situation, it is necessary to implement appropriate strategies of healthy urban planning, to determine organizational mechanisms for their implementation in national conditions and to confirm their effectiveness in organizational experiment.

A look at the problem of intercultural communication from the position of russian student-athletes

The aim of the study was to know student-athletes’ attitudes toward intercultural communication. 22 Russian students from the Institute of Physical Culture, Sports and Youth Policy took part in the study. To conduct the study, a questionnaire was developed by the author, including questions that reveal the features of interaction between Russian and foreign students. The results of the study showed that Russian student-athletes have a positive attitude towards communication with foreign students. At the same time, intercultural communication is quite limited due to a number of reasons, such as the «language barrier», the need to build effective interaction against the background of misunderstanding of the interlocutor, lack of emotional comfort in the communication process, as well as an insufficient number of organized extracurricular activities with foreign students. Students expressed their preference for organizing events that could contribute to the development of intercultural communication, which should necessarily include sports events. Further research may be related to the development of a program for the development of intercultural communication among students at the Institute of Physical Education.
