A Systematic Approach to Integrating an Audience Response System into an Undergraduate Physical Education Teacher Education Program
Bulger, Sean M.; Jones, Emily M.
Excellence in Education Journal, v3 n1 p4-23 Spr 2014
As technological advances continue to influence the methods by which we communicate, manage information, and entertain ourselves, educators must keep pace with these changes by integrating technology when it supports content delivery and enhances student learning. There is considerable potential for technology use across all content areas, but it appears that physical educators are lagging behind with respect to this professional expectation. Recent studies demonstrate that physical education teacher education (PETE) faculty are also not using technology to support or enhance their instructional practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe the integration of an audience response system into a PETE undergraduate and graduate program of study. The handheld clickers enable students to respond to instructor-posed questions during class. The student responses are recorded and can be displayed which facilitates the provision of corrective feedback, assessment of learning, analysis, and dissemination of results.
