Description
Summary:This study is designed to determine the effectiveness of the Coach's Eye movement analysis application with the conjunction of a smart device integrated into physical education. Specifically, this study is focusing on the perceptions among participants towards the Coach's Eye movement analysis application [TechSmith Corp.] and its potential effects on learning sports skills (e.g., badminton, tennis). Additionally, this study hoped to explore the potential of a modified integrated model of qualitative movement diagnosis (QMD) to support best teaching practices. Next, an exploratory research design was adopted by this study involving a group of participants (i.e., 25 participants; mix-genders with an age range between 19 and 25 years old) comprise of undergraduate-level physical and health education students at a local university in central peninsular Malaysia. The qualitative approach in this study utilised kinesthetic feedback during the intervention and focus group discussion to gain insights into real-life, dynamic situations from the participants' perspectives on the intervention rather than objectivity or categorical data. Focus group discussions were conducted at the end of the study and analysed using the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis approach and NVivo software (version 14.0) to gather qualitative data from this study. Results from this study will increase meaningful learning among students, higher engagement and learning ownership of the contents. Educators can better understand the needs of their students, thus, informing their future teaching practices. Ultimately, policymakers should consider this study's results in developing a personalised, student-centred approach, technologically driven policy, curriculum, and co-curriculum in Malaysian learning institutions. © 2022 The Authors
