Insights from the Analysis of the AIAPT_2024 Survey The Integration of Artificial Intelligence into Physical Education Teacher Education

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced education systems worldwide, yet its integration into practice-based teacher training programs, such as physical education (PE), remains underexplored. Focusing on a pilot study conducted in Hungary, the research investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and usage patterns of AI among university students enrolled in PE teacher training. Findings suggest that while students are increasingly aware of AI technologies, their practical implementation within PE education is still limited. The study underscores the importance of pedagogically grounded AI integration and the need for targeted training and institutional strategies to support its effective use in skills-oriented teacher education.
