Enhancing Physical Education Performance Through Blended Learning: A Study On Self-Efficacy Development.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background
This study examines the impact of blended learning on self-efficacy development in physical education (PE) courses. The hypothesis is that integrating digital tools and face-to-face interactions enhances student self-efficacy and overall performance in PE settings.
Materials and Methods
A quasi-experimental design was employed with a sample of 200 high school students divided into control and experimental groups. The experimental group participated in a blended learning program, which included online instructional videos, interactive simulations, and traditional PE classes. Data on self-efficacy were collected using pre-and post-intervention questionnaires.
Results
The results indicated significant improvements in the experimental group's self-efficacy scores, with an average increase of 15% (p < 0.05) compared to the control group, which showed no significant change. Additionally, the experimental group reported a 20% improvement in PE performance tasks.
Conclusion
Blended learning approaches in PE can significantly enhance self-efficacy and performance. These findings suggest that digital resources can effectively complement physical training by providing personalized, flexible, and engaging learning experiences.
