Athletic training education (ATE) faculty integrate technology to manage information, support diverse learning styles, and engage students. Specific technologies and practices are most effective, with opportunities for further development in didactic and clinical settings.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Educational Technology
- Athletic Training
Background:
- Technology integration is prevalent in higher education and health care professions.
- Athletic training education (ATE) should align with technology use in other health care fields.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore how ATE faculty integrate technology in classrooms.
- To identify effective technologies and the reasons for their effectiveness.
- To understand future technology adoption in ATE.
Main Methods:
- An exploratory study utilizing a 16-item online survey.
- Survey distributed to ATE educators in CAATE-accredited professional and post-professional programs.
- Data collected on current technology use, effectiveness, and future interests.
Main Results:
- Four key themes emerged for technology use: information management, supporting diverse learning styles, providing visual examples, and student engagement/preparation.
- Three categories of effective technologies were identified: specific technologies, general technology, and technology-related practices.
- Technology is currently used to enhance didactic ATE.
Conclusions:
- ATE faculty utilize technology to improve information management and cater to varied learning needs.
- Specific technologies and practices are perceived as most effective in enhancing ATE.
- There is potential to expand technology integration in both didactic and clinical aspects of ATE programs.
