Authors : Bekai Ismail .

Abstract

This study examined the effects of technology-enhanced physical education (PE) on students’ physical, psychological, and social well-being compared to traditional PE approaches. Employing a quasi-experimental design, 120 middle school students from Ouargla city (aged 12–15 years) were divided into an experimental group using wearable fitness technology and an interactive app, and a control group following a conventional PE curriculum over 12 weeks. Data were collected through physical fitness tests (20-meter shuttle run, push-ups, sit-ups), standardized questionnaires (WHO-5 Well-Being Index, Motivation in Physical Education Scale), and wearable device metrics. Results revealed significant improvements in cardiovascular endurance (F(1,118)=12.45, p<.001, η²p=.095), muscular strength (F(1,118)=9.63, p=.002, η²p=.076), motivation (F(1,118)=15.32, p<.001, η²p=.115), and psychological well-being (F(1,118)=10.87, p=.001, η²p=.084) among students in the technology-enhanced group, with positive correlations between technology usage and motivation (r=.42, p<.001) and well-being (r=.39, p=.002). These findings confirm that integrating technology into PE can enhance both physical and psychological outcomes, promoting more engaging and health-oriented learning experiences. The study highlights technology’s potential to transform PE into a holistic educational practice supporting lifelong wellness, while emphasizing the need for equitable access, teacher training, and sustainable implementation strategies in future research.
