Digital Technology Learning Management to Promote Knowledge of the History of Sports Competitions among Physical Education Students

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) develop a digital technology learning management to enhance knowledge of the history of sports competitions among Physical Education students to achieve the efficiency criterion of 80/80, 2) compare the students’ learning achievement before and after participating in the developed learning management, and 3) examine the students’ digital technology skills following the implementation of the learning management. The sample group were 30 first-year students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education Program in Physical Education at Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University, who registered for the course 106734101 “History and Principles of Physical Education” during the first semester of the 2025 academic year. They were selected using Cluster Random Sampling. The research instruments consisted of 1) digital technology learning management activities, 2) a learning achievement test, and 3) a digital technology skills assessment form. The statistics used in analyzing the collected data were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the dependent samples t-test.

The results indicated that 1) the developed digital technology learning management achieved an efficiency level of 81.35/80.22, met the predetermined criterion, 2) the students’ post-test mean scores were significantly higher than their pre-test mean scores at the .05 level of significance, and 3) the students demonstrated overall digital technology skills at high level.
