Developing a Mobile APP-Supported Learning System for Evaluating Health-Related Physical Fitness Achievements of Students

Abstract

This study developed a mobile APP support learning system to compare the effects of two different learning approaches based on students' health-related physical fitness (HRPF) achievements, self-efficacy, and system usability. There were 90 participants from four physical education classes in an elementary school of Taiwan who were assigned to the experimental and control groups. An 8-week experiment was conducted to evaluate the two different learning approaches. The experimental results showed that a mobile APP support learning approach could improve the students' HRPF achievements. Furthermore, this study found that the self-efficacy and system operations affect the students' HRPF achievements. To sum up, the combination of traditional and a mobile APP support learning system is an effective approach that would help students to improve their HRPF achievements. The findings can provide the key factors of assisted learning design and students' HRPF achievements for the teachers and the related educators as references.
