Peer Reviewed Journal via three different mandatory reviewing processes, since 2006, and, from September 2020, a fourth mandatory peer-editing has been added.
The generation of virtual dynamic learning environments by
mental imagery improved physical education of student
teachers. Up-to-date studies showed that training computerized
simulations improved spatial abilities, especially visualization
of the body’s movements in space, and enhanced academic
achievements. The main program of the research concentrated
on creating teaching units focusing on a variety of physical
skills through computerized dynamic presentations. The
findings showed that as the student teachers practiced the
creation of simulations through the PowerPoint Software, it
became clear to them how the computer is related to physical
activities. Consequently their presentations became highly
animated, and applied to the natural environment. The student
teachers applied their presentations in their practical classroom
and reported about their pupils’ progress in physical skills.
Moreover the motivation of the student teachers and pupils to
both modes of learning, manipulating virtually and physically,
was enhanced.
