MediaPipe-Based AI Teaching-Learning Model for Middle School Physical Education

This dataset describes the development and implementation of a MediaPipe-based AI program for health-oriented middle school physical education. The study used a participatory action research design over three months in one public middle school, involving PE teachers and 9th-grade students as co-developers. The program evolved through three cycles to recognize fitness movements and provide visual and auditory feedback.

Use Cases

• Analyze the evolution of the AI prototype from an elbow-angle counter to a system incorporating body alignment and isometric exercise tracking, as described in the results.
• Study the application of MediaPipe Pose for recognizing selected fitness movements and providing immediate feedback in a school context.
• Examine the participatory design process involving teacher reflective journals and student-created artifacts for thematic analysis.
• Investigate the use of automatic data logging and QR-code access mechanisms within the web-based teaching-learning program.

Strengths

• The study details a three-month participatory action research process with iterative prototyping across three cycles.
• The research involved PE teachers and 9th-grade students as co-researchers and co-developers, providing a user-centered perspective.
• The methodology incorporates multiple data sources including semi-structured interviews, observations, reflective journals, and student artifacts.

Limitations

• The study was conducted in a single public middle school, limiting the generalizability of findings.
• The dataset is a 92.6 KB PDF document describing the research, not a structured data file with rows and columns for direct analysis.
• The implementation and results are specific to a three-month period and a particular cohort of 9th-grade students.
