Description
Summary:AbstractThe text presents a comprehensive study exploring the impact of an augmented reality educational program on the teaching skills of physical education instructors in Oman. Employing an experimental approach, the research involved an experimental group using the augmented reality program and a control group using traditional methods. Data collection encompassed intelligence tests, teacher evaluations, and observations.Results reveal the augmented reality program’s positive effect on teaching skills, particularly in planning and implementation. Noteworthy factors include simulation, learner engagement, and audiovisual elements, all enhancing teaching abilities. The program effectively enhanced the overall teaching and learning experience, fostering interactivity and efficiency.Recommendations propose practical integration of augmented reality in physical education, focusing on modern methods and motor skill-centric environments. Encouraging teacher professional development for augmented reality use is also advised. In essence, the study underscores augmented reality’s potential as a valuable tool for elevating teaching skills and enriching education. It highlights the transformative potential of immersive technology, foreseeing improved educational outcomes through interactive engagement.
