Improving Real time Motor Skills in Physical Education by Virtual Computerized Technology Training: A Successful Attempt at Teaching Novice Computer Users

摘要

The present research is aimed at improving real time motor skills by physical education MA students through virtual computerized technology training. This is done by using unique simulated virtual computerized tools. Each student executed action research in his/her physical education lessons. The main principle of the students' action research is applying the virtual computerized technology environment to the real time motor skills up to functioning successfully in physical education lessons without using computers. while controlling 2D and 3D space. The researcher taught this method to 56 MA students majoring in physical education. Such procedures were held among various populations. The findings showed that as the virtual computerized technology training increased the pupils' real time motor skills were gradually improved and their confidence in performing such activities was enhanced. The students' awareness of this important impact was also enhanced. The virtual computerized training contributed to the cognitive thinking and to the cumulative knowledge enrichment in future experiences. In such a way, the knowledge impacts thinking development in future situations. Moreover, the students were able to translate theory into their everyday teaching and raised the level of their academic writing as well.
