Practice in Physical Education Classes Using ICT at Special Needs Schools for Students with Intellectual Disabilities: Utilizing Physical Fitness Test Apps and AI Apps

The purpose of this study was to implement the use of ICT in physical education classes at high school for special needs students with intellectual disabilities. Specific practices included (1) the tabulation and utilization of the new physical fitness test using ICT, and (2) an examination of how to approach physical exercise using ICT. From the practice, it can be considered that having students actually look at the data and think about it is a useful practice from the viewpoint of cultivating the ability to utilize information. In addition, the use of AI to provide feedback from other people’s evaluations in the examination of how to engage in the exercise motivated the students and deepened their learning. In the future, objective examination of the educational effects of instruction and ICT utilization, as well as the quality and quantity of research on classes and school activities, will be required.
