Edublog In Physical Education As An Instrument For Coeducation, Commitment And Intention To Be Physically Active

This research aimed at examining the effects of the usage of educational blog (or Edublog) on coeducation, commitment to this digital tool, grades and intention to be physically active in Physical Education lessons in Primary school. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with, a priori, a non-equivalent control group and an experimental group for a total of 40 primary school students (50.50% girls; M-age = 10.55, SDage =.51). Measures on knowledge of equity and grades were taken at the end of the intervention programme, measures on commitment to Edublog were collected throughout the programme, while intention to be physically active were assessed at the beginning and end of the intervention. The results revealed statistically significance differences in the level of knowledge of equity, commitment of Edublog and grades a favour of the experimental group. There was a nonsignificant difference on the level of intention to be physically active among both groups. In conclusion, Edublog can be a learning recourse to be considered by teachers in improving primary school students' educational experiences when they participate in Physical Education.
