Physical Education Students' Perceived Competence in Using Technology Integration

The purpose of the present research was to determine if physical education students feel prepared to use Technology Integration (TI) in their teaching. Forty-seven participants answered a 43-item questionnaire including multiple choice and open-ended questions. Data analysis included statistical (descriptive and ANOVA) as well as qualitative analysis (themes). Participants reported that they intend to use TI to enhance students’ learning and motivation and that fitness was the most likely content area to use TI. Participants reported their intention to use TI in all grade levels. Participants also reported a high perception of competence in all seven areas measured by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge instrument. Research is needed to confirm if higher education contributes to this perceived competence.
