Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly influenced various fields, including education. In recent years, the integration of AI into educational environments has created new opportunities to enhance teaching effectiveness, improve student engagement, and provide personalized learning experiences. In the field of physical education, AI-based technologies can assist instructors in analyzing students’ movements, monitoring performance, and delivering immediate feedback to support skill development.

The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of artificial intelligence–based instruction with traditional teaching methods in physical education classes. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, in which participants were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received instruction supported by AI-based technologies, while the control group was taught using conventional teaching approaches. The educational intervention was conducted over eight sessions, each lasting 90 minutes.

Data were collected through motor skill performance assessments as well as questionnaires measuring student engagement and learning satisfaction. The results indicated that students in the AI-supported instructional group demonstrated significantly higher improvements in motor skill performance compared with those in the traditional teaching group. Also, the level of participation and satisfaction of learners in the artificial intelligence-based training group was higher.

These findings suggest that integrating artificial intelligence technologies into physical education teaching can enhance instructional quality, improve learning outcomes, and increase student motivation. Therefore, the use of AI-based tools may serve as an effective complement to traditional teaching methods in physical education programs.
