Technology In Physical Education Research Articles

Digital technology in national curricula: a dialogue among Iberoamerican countries.

In today's world, digital technologies have become pervasive, impacting every aspect of our lives. Even in subjects such as Health and Physical Education (HPE), which traditionally emphasizes experiential, active, and corporeal learning, there is a growing interest in the role and influence of new technologies. These technologies not only have the potential to transform human movement and health cultures, but they also offer valuable tools to facilitate teachers' work and enhance student learning. Considering the context of the Research Network on Interactive Digital Didactic Materials, which includes researchers from Iberoamerican countries, this research examines how media and digital technologies are considered in the official Physical Education and curriculum documents from Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Colombia, and Spain. The research comprises a content analysis of official National Curricular Proposals of the selected countries. Considering the specificities of each country to publish their curricula policies, we selected eight different documents from five countries (Brazil, Uruguay, Spain, Colombia, and Chile). We looked for indicators expressed by terms such as "media," "digital culture," and "technology" in the documents, all of them related to Physical Education. The findings show arguments and proposals for using technology in Physical Education in all documents. However, the curricula trigger this theme in different forms, as an autonomous or transversal character integrated into subjects such as HPE. This fact may be highlighted by the goals of learning areas, which sometimes trigger teaching themes through technology. Under the Media-Education theory lens, we argue that there is no standard for educational investment in curricula in media and technology. Some documents point to the technology use dimension, while others point to the critical or productive dimension that technology makes possible. The literature highlights the need for an organic approach between these dimensions, and educators and policymakers are asked to rethink their curriculum proposals.

Fostering scientific methods in simulations through symbolic regressions

Two-dimensional computer and tablet PC physics simulations have proved to be effective in helping students understand the fundamental principles of physics and related natural processes. However, the current approach to using these simulations tends to follow a repetitive cognitive and procedural pathway, regardless of the specific physical concepts being explored or software environment being used. This approach involves manipulating the simulation interface and collecting data through interaction with controls, widgets, or other contextual elements. Students then attempt to determine how these experimental measurements align with established laws, interactions, or mechanisms, as the teacher might have previously explained. We believe that this approach, while appropriate for education, obscures scientific processes, mainly related to the hypothetico-deductive model. To address this issue, we have developed a simple and adaptable computer environment that makes use of genetic algorithms (GAs) and symbolic regression to derive many of the basic laws of nature from the data collected by students using the popular physics education technology (PhET) simulations environment. Our proposal enables learners to observe how the order and relationships of mathematical tokens are routinely refined as new data points are added to the simulation setting. This iterative distillation technique can also be augmented with the interplay of dimensional analysis. In contrast with other more sophisticated artificial intelligence patterns, GA fit into the realm of grey box machine learning models. These type of evolutionary algorithms achieve the sought results by evolving mathematical models on each stage in an understandable way, which mimics the way scientific breakthroughs are accomplished (over the course of generations of researchers and based of prior knowledge). By implementing this innovative approach, we can provide students with a more authentic empirical experience that fosters a deeper understanding of the principles of science and scientific discovery. Field tests with students supporting this claim have also been carried out.

PHYSICS EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY (PhET) INTERACTIVE SIMULATIONS AS TEACHING AID IN ENHANCING STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE IN PHYSICS

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulations in enhancing students performance in Physics. It is a quantitative study involving pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research. The respondents for this study were 60 Grade 11 senior high school students, specifically from two sections in a public secondary school in the Division of Davao de Oro. They were categorized into two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The pretest and posttest questionnaire, derived from the Grade 11 Physical Science module, underwent pilot testing to ensure its validity and reliability and was utilized as the instrument. The mean, mean gain score, T-test for correlated mean, and T-test for uncorrelated mean were employed as the statistical treatments for this study. The results revealed that before the intervention, the students performance in both groups was at the same level. However, during the post-test, the control and experimental groups improved their Physics performance, albeit at different levels. A significant difference was observed between the mean gain scores of the two groups. This suggests that the intervention, Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulation, is more effective compared to the conventional method of teaching. The researcher recommends that students play an active role in the learning process. Teachers should incorporate PhET interactive simulations into their classes, and administrators should provide relevant training and workshops on the proper use of PhET interactive simulations. Future researchers are encouraged to conduct studies on other areas related to PhET interactive simulations. KEYWORDS: Education, students performance, Physics Education Technology (PhET), quasi-experimental, Pretest-Posttest design, Grade 11 students
