DiTePES: Digital technology in physical education and sports

Aim
The main aim of this international research group is to initiate and conduct research and developmental projects within the field of physical education (PE) and sports, and digital technology.
Description of the research group
So far, scholars in the group have initiated and conducted many different research projects covering a variety of aspects regarding the aim of the group. Some of the research questions these projects have answered are:
- How do flipped learning impact student motivation and learning in secondary and upper secondary school PE?
- How do students experience flipped learning in physical education teacher education (PETE) with focus on knowledge promotion and self-efficacy?
- How can flipped learning and the app “actioswim” impact on student and pupil motivation and learning in swimming and life rescue education?
- How do the approach of “gamification” impact student motivation in secondary school PE, and in PETE?
There is now a call for contributions to a Frontiers in Education topic edited by the DiTePES members Jula, Chad, and Ove. More info can be found here.
