The Effect of Physical Activity Model Based on Blended Learning in Physical Literacy for Physical Education Students

Abstract

The objectives of this research were 1) to study the effect of physical activity model based in blended learning on physical literacy for physical education students; and 2) to compare the average physical literacy of physical education students. The sample consisted of 60 students from the department of Physical Education, years 1-4, Uttaradit Rajabhat University, academic year 2023, by purposive sampling. It was divided into 2 groups: an experimental group of 30 students who received a physical activity model according to blended learning for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 1 hour a day, and the 30 students in the control group did not receive the physical activity model.
The research tool included a physical activity model based on blended learning. Collecting data was implemented by physical literacy tests and assessments. The data was analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean, Standard Deviation (S.D.) and t-test at the statistical significance level of .05.
The results showed that: 1) The physical activity model based on blended learning could highly reinforce the physical literacy of physical education students. 2) The average of physical literacy in physical education students was as follows: 2.1) Physical literacy on Cognition (1) Average of physical literacy and cognition in the experimental group after receiving the physical activity model was ( x ̅= 50.20, S.D.= 3.11), it was higher than before the experiment (x ̅= 30.37, S.D.= 4.66) with statistical significance level .05. (2) Average of physical literacy and cognition in the experimental group after receiving the physical activity model was (¯x = 50.20, S.D.= 3.11), it was significantly higher than the control group students (x ̅= 43.17, S.D.= 2.94) with statistical significance level .05. 2.2) Physical Literacy on movement performance (1) Average of physical literacy on movement performance in the experimental group after receiving the physical activity model was (¯x = 12.67, S.D.= 1.17), it was higher than before the experiment (¯x = 7.87, S.D.= 1.41) with statistical significance level .05. (2) Average of physical literacy on movement performance of students in the experimental group After receiving the physical activity model was (¯x = 12.67, S.D.= 1.17), it was higher than the control group (¯x = 9.67, S.D.= 1.58) with statistical significance level .05 2.3) In terms of physical literacy on motivation and confidence in the experimental group after receiving a physical activity model based on blended learning, the average was at the highest level. (¯x = 4.70, S.D.= 10.15)
