Abstract:

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and language models like ChatGPT in education has opened new possibilities for enhancing physical education (PE) pedagogy. This research paper explores the potential applications of ChatGPT in PE teaching, focusing on areas such as lesson planning, differentiated instruction, assessment, and professional development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining surveys, interviews, and a pilot study with PE teachers. The study aimed to understand the challenges faced by PE teachers and investigate how ChatGPT could address these challenges and improve teaching methods. The findings suggest that ChatGPT has the potential to personalize learning, enhance student engagement, increase accessibility to PE resources, provide data-driven insights, and reduce teacher workload. However, challenges and limitations, such as the lack of physical presence, ethical considerations, technical limitations, and the risk of overdependence on technology, need to be carefully addressed. The study highlights the importance of striking a balance between technology integration and traditional teaching methods to ensure the development of essential physical skills and social interactions. Ethical considerations, including data privacy, algorithmic bias, and teacher and student autonomy, are also discussed. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for further research and collaboration between educators, researchers, and AI developers to harness the potential of ChatGPT in PE while addressing the challenges and ethical implications
