Effectiveness of a School-Based Outdoor Education Curriculum and Online Learning Environment among Prospective Teachers

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a curriculum developed for prospective physical education teachers to learn an outdoor sports course, using both the school-based outdoor education approach and online learning. The research design involved a mixed method that used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Since qualitative data were collected in order to support quantitative data, the researchers applied a sequential–descriptive pattern of mixed methods. As a result of the research, the achievement of the outdoor sports lesson and the ability of doing outdoor sports were improved among prospective teachers using both the school-based outdoor education and online learning physical education approaches. The prospective teachers stated that they learned the subjects better by doing, and that they were more motivated to improve their subsequent performance after watching the recorded activities and performances on the learning management system. The prospective teachers generally expressed the positive opinion that the course was helpful for passing the final exam or other evaluations, and that the teaching activities were motivational.

[Retracted] Personalised Recommendation of PE Network Course Environment Resources Using Data Mining Analysis

“…Kelly P et al introduced Web mining technology and its typical application in the campus course resource-sharing system [ 11 ]. Lin L used the methods of literature, questionnaires, expert interviews, and logical analysis to investigate and analyse the current situation of information query and utilisation of PE teachers in colleges and universities in the reform of PE curriculum construction [ 12 , 13 ]. Qi S et al designed the recommendation process and recommendation algorithm for the specific application environment and the recommendation of course resources in the network teaching platform [ 14 ].…”

From confusion to clarity: A comprehensive study on misconceptions in physical education

“…In both general education and physical education, from interactive interventions or collaborative learning environments to follow-up professional development programs or the provision of accurate information, educators have a variety of methods at their beck and call with which they can break down misconceptions in order to create niches for knowledge among all parties concerned.

With the help of technological tools and platforms, educators can build active learning environments that directly confront misconceptions and encourage critical thinking.…”

An Analysis of the Attitudes of Secondary School Students on Cyber Bullying Behaviors

“…The increase in aggressive behaviors during the use of communication technologies amongst students makes it essential to investigate the causes of this aggression in the virtual environment and the ways in which these behaviors can be avoided (Tuna et al, 2017).

The unrestrained use of these technologies can have several undesirable effects on the development of individuals, particularly on young people in their development stage.…”
