Physical education teachers may be confronted with the following challenges: (1) Describing and analyzing sports movements and understanding them from a biomechanical perspective are central components of physical education in high school. Due to the lack of a basic understanding of physical quantities (e.g., force-time curves in jumps), this often causes problems for pupils. (2) In physical education, physical education teachers often have to deal with very heterogeneous learning groups that usually have physical education only once a week (physical activity time < 75min). As a result, pupils often have great difficulty in acquiring new sports skills. (3) In addition, physical education teachers often cannot demonstrate all the sports skills that are relevant to physical education classes and thus give pupils an idea of exactly what the sports skill to be learned looks like. Given these challenges, the goal of this project is to develop digital solutions that (1) help to visualize mechanical quantities and make them tangible and (2) support motor learning processes in physical education in high school.
