Abstract:

Information and Communication Technologies can have a positive impact on the learning environment by providing Physical Education teachers with a tool-kit for a complementary, alternative form of teaching knowledge objects in the Physical Education area. In volleyball teaching the system 5: 1 (5 hitters-1 setter) is difficult due to the complexity of the rotation rules. An interdisciplinary micro scenario, which includes monitoring of a multimedia application, practicing the team’s rotations by completing a relevant spreadsheet, applying a training protocol with evaluation of volleyball skills accompanied by quantification and visualization of positive, negative or neutral probability in a rally helps students both understand both the 5: 1 volleyball system and elements of Statistics.
