The Use of Collaborative Learning Tools in Teaching Routine Skills in Chinese Martial Arts

Abstract

Collaborative learning methods using technology tools provide an opportunity to learn even outside the classroom. This flexible method is now exploited by many teachers across the world due to the global health crisis. Hence, the intention of this study is to investigate the effect of collaborative learning on the performance scores of 50 students enrolled in a Wushu class in a selected high school located in Beijing, China. Results show a positive increase in the post-evaluation results after a two-week utilization of collaborative tools. It can be said that technology is a tool that levels the playing field for students. Hence, this paper touches on the importance of equal access to various technologies for learning to ensure that students are given the opportunity they deserve.
