Abstract

Background and Aim: In the educational environment of the twenty-first century, the incorporation of technology has become a key factor in driving pedagogical innovation and improving the quality of education. This study aims to assess the implementation of technology integration in physical education identify the problems it faces, to propose strategies to enhance the integration of technology in physical education.

Materials and Methods: Firstly, the study sorted out the current situation and development trend of technology application in physical education through a literature review. Next, the study collected the views and practical experiences of experts from 7 universities in Yunnan Province, China, on the integration of technology into teaching strategies through expert interviews. The results of the expert interviews with the 7 experts were summarized and analyzed using Nvivo for textual data, and all the interview texts were coded hierarchically through the rooted theory approach. Based on the coding results, the index system of the components of technology integration into physical education pedagogy strategies was drafted, and 5 experts were selected for IOC evaluation. Then, 20 experts conducted the Delphi method, and after two rounds of Delphi analysis the experts reached a consensus, and the system of indicators of the constituent elements of technology integration into physical education pedagogy strategies was finally established. Finally, the strategies were further discussed and evaluated through focus groups with 9 experts.

Results: Through this study, a strategy for integrating technology into physical education pedagogy in the 21st century was finally established in five dimensions: teaching and learning environment, teaching and learning resources, services and management, monitoring and evaluation, and challenges and strategies.

Conclusion: The results of the study showed that experts agreed on the feasibility of the strategy of integrating technology into physical education pedagogy and the scientific and reliable nature of the proposed strategy.
