Abstract

Objective: Analyze the impact of artificial intelligence techniques on developing basic and motor skills of students in physical education lessons, in terms of accuracy in assessment, training customization, and performance improvement, and identify the challenges facing the application of artificial intelligence techniques in the field of physical education, such as cost, teacher acceptance, and privacy.

Research methodology: The community was determined from physical education teachers in primary schools in Basra Education Directorate and the study sample was determined (100) teachers working in those schools after it was confirmed that they use blended education with their students and use artificial intelligence techniques to develop the basic and motor skills of their students, as the researchers had (confirmed information) about this because the same teachers were a previous sample for one of the experimental researches to use blended education for (teaching skills practically in the schoolyard and then taking a virtual lesson through the Telegram program via smartphones) to achieve the desired purpose, which is to use artificial intelligence through digital technology.

Results: The results showed that teachers see significant benefits in using AI technologies in physical education lessons, especially in improving accuracy and providing immediate feedback

Conclusions: The importance of using AI technologies in improving multiple aspects of physical education lessons, including performance assessment, enhancing interaction, providing immediate feedback, and designing personalized training programs, and students clearly see the benefits associated with using AI, suggesting that integrating these technologies can have a significant positive impact on their learning experiences and skill development.
