Abstract
Advances in technology have created new opportunities for enhanced delivery of teaching to improve the acquisition of game skills in physical education (PE). The availability of a motion-tracking system (i.e. the A-Eye), which determines positional information of students in a practice context, might offer a suitable technology to support pedagogical approaches in the teaching of movement skills in game situations. This paper explores the possibility and potential of using this technology to augment pedagogical practices in PE. Using examples from its implementation in sports science investigations and pilot work in a Singapore school, we discuss how such motion-tracking systems can be incorporated in schools, assisting practitioners in refining pedagogical practices. The implications of its wider use in a PE context will also be discussed.
