The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
Increasing emphasis on differentiated instruction
Owing to several advancements in the education system globally, teachers are using various technological solutions ranging from hardware to software to improve their teaching effectiveness. The physical education classroom comprises students with variability in terms of physical abilities, age, learning patterns, body mass index (BMI), and motivation levels. Through technological developments in the area of physical education, these elements are effectively managed where the instructors can enhance the siports skills among students. The physical education teachers are also using devices, such as heart rate monitors and pedometers, to seek detailed data on their students’ mundane activities and performance. The information collected is further used for designing the fitness sessions of students to utilize their activity time optimally.
Easily suited to curriculum needs
Vendors in the physical education market are helping teachers in automating their class plans and schedules by introducing various tools embedded in software solutions. Such tools enable teachers to design their lessons, manage classroom activities, post fitness assignments, and share grades with students. Vendors are also offering physical education e-textbooks that act as a framework and guide to help instructors execute physical education training in classrooms. For instance, Physical Education Grade 3 (PE 3) curriculum offered by Interactive Health Technologies includes physical education course content that is aligned with National Physical Education Institute, Common Core, and National Association of Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) standards followed in the US.
Rising involvement of physical education stakeholders
