Utilizing Technology in Teaching Physical Education: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This systematic review examines the utilization of technology in teaching physical education (PE) in the Philippines and its impact on teaching and learning outcomes. Through a comprehensive analysis of selected studies, the study identifies key findings related to the types of technology employed, the impact on student engagement and motivation, skill development, challenges, and pedagogical approaches. The review reveals that various types of technology, including wearable devices, motion sensors, mobile apps, interactive games, and augmented reality, have been utilized to enhance the learning experience in PE classrooms. The integration of technology has shown a positive impact on student engagement, motivation, and skill development. Additionally, the study highlights challenges such as limited access to technology resources, connectivity issues, and insufficient teacher training, which need to be addressed to maximize the effectiveness of technology integration. Effective pedagogical approaches, such as blended learning and gamification, have emerged as strategies to optimize the use of technology in PE instruction. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers in the Philippines, emphasizing the potential benefits of technology integration in PE classrooms. By leveraging technology effectively, PE teachers can create engaging and dynamic learning environments that promote active participation, skill development, and holistic well-being among students.
