The purpose of this research was to develop a physical education (PE) teaching method based on brain-based learning (BBL) and to examine its effects on students’ knowledge structure, problem-solving capability, and learning motivation. The research used both qualitative and quantitative methods adopting an nonequivalent control group design in a quasi-experiment. The participants based on purposive sampling technique include one female PE teacher and her fifty eighth-grade students. The students were divided into two groups: one experimental group administered with BBL PE teaching, and one control group administered with traditional PE teaching, both for sixteen basketball lessons. The instruments to examine the effects of BBL PE teaching consist of personal concept mapping, the test of problem-solving capability in basketball, and learning motivation questionnaires. Interview, observation, and document analysis were also later conducted inductively. The data were analyzed with covariance and constant comparison method. There are three major results. First, there was a significant difference in the personal concept mapping between the two groups. The increased mean score for the experimental group showed that BBL PE teaching has enhanced the students’ deep understanding and has also expanded the scope of nature knowledge. Second, there was a significant difference in the test of problem-solving capability in basketball between two groups. The statistics shows that the students’ problem-solving capability in basketball has been developed during BBL PE teaching. Finally, there was a significant difference in the learning motivation questionnaires between two groups. According to the score, the learning motivation has been cultivated by BBL PE teaching. All in all, the knowledge and the problem-solving capability in basketball, as well as the learning motivation of the experimental group have all been improved. |
