Abstract
Prior studies have mostly studied artificial intelligence AI education from students’ perspectives from various majors. However, it is necessary to understand physical education students’ perception and their attitudes towards AI because they are essential personnel for physical education. To fill the gap in literature, the aim of this study is to determine physical education students’ attitudes and to analyze the perceived usefulness of AI. The study also investigated the differences in students’ attitudes and their perceived usefulness level regarding AI technology. A descriptive research design was used in this study, with a questionnaire to collect data from the study participants. The number of participants was 210 physical education students. The findings revealed that the participants expressed low to moderate positive attitudes towards using AI in their learning. Additionally, students had a moderate level of perceived usefulness of using AI. In addition, student attitudes and their perceived usefulness level regarding AI technology did not differ significantly based on gender, students age and their experiences. These findings provide valuable insight for academicians by filling a knowledge gap in the existing literature and demonstrating the concrete use of AI technology in the realm of physical education. Recommendations are enumerated based on the obtained findings.
