Xing, Zhou; Qi, Yue
Education and Information Technologies, v28 n5 p5763-5777 May 2023
The popularisation of an active lifestyle and sports is a hot topic today. The countries activate the interest of the population in physical culture introducing creative training activities in sports. The research highlights that it is important to develop creative thinking in physical education teachers. Thus, the main research goal is to analyse the influence of interactive technologies used to develop creativity among physical education teachers. The researchers use tablet computers with a video communication function for the experiment. All training sessions were conducted on the Zoom conferencing platform. The training took 6 months. The proposed training included power training, yoga, dance and gymnastics. At every third lesson, three respondents developed and presented their training programme for the rest of the group. "Torrens creative thinking test" was used to assess the results. The comparison of the training dynamics in men and women (P-value = 0.019 and 0.003, respectively (p [less than or equal to] 0.05)) proves the effectiveness of the proposed training techniques. It means that this technique is effective for sports activities and can be introduced in educational institutions. The scholars recommend using it in schools, universities and other educational institutions.
