Philosophical Reflections on Artificial Intelligence Reshaping the “Field” of Physical Education Teaching

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping physical education by introducing immersive virtual environments, significantly enhancing the teaching experience. This paradigm shift involves digitizing every aspect of physical training, presenting data-driven insights, and transforming traditional teacher-student interactions into interactive user relationships. The challenges lie in addressing the altered teacher-student dynamic and preserving the essential experiential and contextual aspects of physical education. Research methods, including literature review and logical reasoning, highlight the need for educators to discern technology’s essence and return to a focus on nurturing. Future efforts should prioritize students’ experiences, insights, and the quality of physical education, fostering a holistic approach beyond knowledge and skills transfer. This adaptation is crucial in navigating the changing landscape of AI in education.
