| Abstract | In recent years, integrating mobile phones in physical education (PE) is challenging and also the trend to work forward for teaching innovation. Several studies mentioned that teaching strategies adopted with a mobile could enhance college students’ learning in the classroom. However, there are some common barriers for instructors to apply mobile learning in Physical Education classes. It is worth to investigate how students use mobile to support learning and how they adopted various technologies and learning strategies. In this study, the main question is about the value and benefit of using mobile technology in the Health and Physical Education (PE) class setting. The study aims to examine the effect of mobile technology and apps on various PE teaching activities. A total of 243 undergraduate students were enrolled in four types of Health and PE classes, basketball (n=47), fitness (n=45) and volleyball (n=42) and Personal health and wellness (n=56). Focus group interviews and online questionnaires have conducted to collect data. Both qualitative and quantitative data have been reviewed, analyzed and compared with relevant literature. The study shows that the majority of students recognized mobile an effective learning tool, they have been using mobile to access online teaching and learning materials, search supporting information through the Internet. They raised some good reasons to adopt mobile learning in PE class such as portability, convenience, and facilities for recording learning experiences, helping to manage group work and easy to interact with teachers out of classes. Students were ready for the mobile integrated learning environment and expressed that using mobile in PE class could improve practice, help them gain self-discipline and efficiency. PE instructors have to know how to use mobile and media devices to teach, incorporate mobile phones in teaching and learning to improve active learning and engage to participate in classes and interact with students out of classes. Besides, some mobile-centered instruction strategies were more effective, the use of mobile apps improved learning outcomes, increased teaching, and learning efficiency. The study has a limitation on the diversity of participants (one institution). Future studies would include more teachers, students and to experiment with different types of health and physical education programs from other institutions. |
