The Design and Evaluation of Mobile App-Supported Basketball Teaching: A Blended Learning Approach

This paper explores the course design and student satisfaction with a Chinese university basketball course offered in blended mode through the support of mobile technology. There are four parts to this study: (1) the design of a basketball course using the blended learning approach supported by flipped classrooms and a mobile app; (2) a 3-week trial of this approach as a pilot study in the spring semester of 2017; (3) informed by this pilot study, a semester-long implementation of the approach in the autumn semester of 2017; (4) an evaluation of students' satisfaction with this blended learning approach through the use of surveys. The results indicate that this approach to course design and delivery effectively facilitated student learning. The survey data further confirmed the students' satisfaction with this new learning and teaching approach as well as the course, as they believed that this approach had improved their learning quality, in-class interaction and learning outcomes in physical education.
