What We Are Really Doing with ICT in Physical Education: A National Audit of Equipment, Use, Teacher Attitudes, Support, and Training
Thomas, Andrew; Stratton, Gareth
British Journal of Educational Psychology, v37 n4 p617-632 Jul 2006
This paper reports on the results from a detailed national audit of information communication technology (ICT) in physical education (PE), examining attitudes, training, numbers of pieces of equipment and hardware owned, and its employment and use across nine Local Education Authorities, six types of schools, and four types of Specialist College. After setting the context, a summary of the survey methods used and an overview of the findings from 500 schools are presented. Results from 252 questionnaires returned suggested that the majority of PE teachers felt that ICT was a valuable teaching tool; however, parity of training and ownership of equipment were not standard across the range of schools or regions. Furthermore, the data suggest a growing trend in ICT use in PE across England.
