Evaluation of an intervention program based on the use of ICT to increase the satisfaction of students regard to Physical Education

Abstract

Education is evolving and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is an important part of this evolution. However, in Physical Education there is a barrier to the use of this technology since it is mainly associated with conceptual contents and Physical Education is principally a procedural subject. The main goal of this research was to evaluate the satisfaction of Physical Education students in the use of ICT. An intervention was thus carried out with a sample of 107 students from two schools, aged between 14 and 17 years (X = 14.95, DT = 0.49) and 15 and 18 years of age (X = 16.10, SD = 0.73), divided into an experimental group of 63 students and a control group of 44 students. A questionnaire was used to evaluate their level of satisfaction with the Physical Education lessons (PACSQ). The results confirm that there is a close relationship between the use of ICT in Physical Education lessons and an increase in students' satisfaction.
