| ABSTRACT | |||
| Multimedia-assisted teaching and learning have become standard
forms of education. In sports, multimedia material has been used to teach
practical aspects of courses, such as motor skills. The main goal of this
study is to examine if multimedia technology impacts learning in the field
of sport motor skill acquisition. This question was investigated during
a practical sports education course involving 35 students who participated
in a university soccer class. The whole course was split into two groups:
Group A was taught traditionally with no assistance of multimedia and Group
B was prepared with multimedia-assisted instructional units. To quantify
selected skills of soccer technique and tactic, the test subjects performed
a specific passing test and a tactical assessment. Furthermore, a ques-tionnaire
was used to assess the subjective impressions of the test subjects. All
testing instruments were applied before and after a six-week-long teaching
period. A comparison of the gathered data between the two groups resulted
in no significant differences, neither concerning the results of the technique
test nor concerning the tactic test. However, the results of the ques-tionnaire
showed a positive agreement among the participants in the usability and
assistance of multimedia for the sports practical course. Considering the
reviewed conditions, it can be concluded that the use of multimedia content
doesn't affect the learning effects.
Key words: Multimedia, soccer, e-learning. |
