Exploring physical education teacher education strategies for technology-integrated physical education

The purpose of this study was to explore and suggest teacher education strategies that train physical education (PE) teachers effectively integrate technology into their teaching. To achieve this, the study first analyzed the various barriers that PE teachers may face when applying technology in PE settings. Next, strategies to overcome these obstacles were thoroughly examined from the perspective of teacher educators. Finally, the study suggested systematic and practical teacher education strategies aimed at developing teachers who are capable of implementing technology into PE class. The barriers to technology integration are broadly categorized into primary and secondary barriers. This paper focused on presenting strategies to overcome secondary barriers and proposes teacher education strategies that take into account various knowledge systems and levels of integration.
