When making the decision in the spring to commit to this masters program, the wicked problem I wanted to solve was “How can we do PE online?” Since then, it’s evolved to be a bit more specific, as well as applicable to both online and in-person learning... What tools and procedures can a PE or athletic program put into place that will easily transition to distance education and support students to develop lifelong habits?
Because my passion behind this research has always revolved around online learning, our current format for school hopefully shouldn’t be an impediment on my research. I’m hoping that on the contrary, this period of distance learning could be conducive to the research that I need. With that being said, I still have a ways to go in dialing in exactly how I will go about collecting data, and I feel that I need to figure that out quickly. Whether we continue to do distance learning, or return to in-person, I’m hopeful that I’ll have enough experience in both realms to get to the bottom of my driving question. I can apply design thinking to my dilemma by considering my end user…secondary PE teachers and students. What have other PE teachers found to be effective in supporting learners develop lifelong habits while teaching from a distance? What motivates students to want to be active when learning online? Will effective strategies for online learning in PE transition well to in-person learning?
