A technology-based adaptive learning model in physical education within the Indonesian school context
Keywords:
Adaptive learning, Physical education, Technology integration, Student engagementAbstract
This study explores students’ and teachers’ experiences with technology-based adaptive learning in physical education in Indonesia. The research aims to understand how adaptive digital tools influence engagement, personalized learning, and collaborative interaction. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving 25 students and 10 teachers from three secondary schools and one university program. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis revealed five major themes: increased engagement and motivation, personalized learning experiences, technological and infrastructural challenges, teacher adaptation strategies, and social-collaborative learning dynamics. The findings contribute to understanding how technology mediates pedagogical practices, social interactions, and contextual factors in physical education. These results provide implications for theory, policy, and practice by highlighting the importance of integrating adaptive technology with instructional design and social learning strategies. Future studies are suggested to examine long-term outcomes, skill retention, and the scalability of adaptive learning programs.
