Comparing Traditional PE and Technology-Integrated PE on Student Engagement

This study examines the impact of traditional physical education (PE) and technology-integrated PE on student engagement. Traditional PE relies on standard exercises, team sports, and instructor-led activities, while technology-integrated PE incorporates digital tools such as fitness trackers, virtual simulations, and gamified workouts. The research utilizes a mixed-methods approach, including student surveys, observational analysis, and engagement metrics, to assess differences in participation, motivation, and enjoyment. Findings suggest that technology integrated PE enhances engagement by offering interactive and personalized experiences, though traditional PE remains effective in fostering social interaction and fundamental physical skills. The study highlights the potential of blended approaches to maximize student participation and learning outcomes.
