摘要:The article addresses ICT in Education by describing an empirical investigation of technologyenhancedsports education. The study examines the use of clickers by 162 Judo athletes duringseminars on the rules and regulations of the sport. Results are based on quantitative datacollected on athletes’ performances and attitudes and qualitative data from a focus group with thetrainers. Findings suggest that the use of clickers is linked to athletes’ better satisfaction andperformance and enables the feedback loop between athletes and trainers. More importantly, theimplementation with the use of clickers can simulate the fast reaction time and decision makingrequired during a Judo battle, which is difficult to achieve without the means of technology.Research of technology in the field of sport/physical education is limited. This study provides aninteresting presentation of the potential of clickers to improve training quality for both athletes andtrainers.
