Influence of the Internet based Multimedia Technology on Teaching Reforms and Management of Physical Education

Resumen

Internet-based multimedia technology has emerged as a strong source of teaching methods in learning physical and sports education. Due to its global use in sports and physical education, multimedia technology has transformed the whole gamut of sports learning. Several universities have initiated study reforms in sports teaching and begun to focus on the use of multimedia technology in physical education. Adequate steps are taken to explore new ways to use multimedia technology for physical education and find a new direction in studying physical education in universities. Research studies have also emphasized the use of multimedia technology for the development of physical education. Evidences suggest that multimedia technology can stimulate students' interest in learning and is more conducive to students' understanding and mastery of professional knowledge, develop their physical potential and improve the overall classroom teaching quality. This paper attempts to study how internet and network based multimedia distance education methods can be used to reformulate the physical education syllabus and check the falling number of technical courses in physical education learning. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection, this study carried out documentation research, in-depth interviews, and comparative experiment method through experimental and control groups. Limitations faced in the study included site restrictions, lack of hardware facilities, and inadequate teachers’ professional knowledge and skills of multimedia technology. The study suggests that multimedia technology should be appropriate and depending on the content of the teaching. Physical education teachers should upgrade continuously their professional knowledge and skills of the cutting-edge sports technology. Only by optimizing the combination of multimedia technology and traditional physical education, it is possible to educate students on sports knowledge and skills and increase the interest, efficiency, and initiative of students' learning.
