Technology-assisted assessment has emerged as a transformative force in the field of physical education (PE), reshaping traditional evaluation methods and enriching the learning experience. This paper explores the current trends and future prospects of technology-assisted assessment in PE, shedding light on the dynamic integration of wearables, video analysis, mobile applications, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence. The introduction of wearable technology, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, has revolutionized real-time monitoring, providing educators with valuable insights into students' physical activities and overall fitness. Video analysis tools have enabled a more nuanced evaluation of techniques, fostering personalized feedback and targeted skill development. Mobile applications, with their gamified elements and interactive features, engage students in both theoretical and practical aspects of PE, creating a more participatory learning environment. Virtual and augmented reality technologies offer immersive simulations, providing controlled spaces for students to practice and be assessed on various physical activities. The integration of artificial intelligence brings forth data-driven insights, adaptive assessments, and the potential for personalized learning plans. This paper also explores the ethical considerations, data privacy concerns, and the evolving landscape of remote and hybrid learning in the context of technology-assisted PE assessment. As the educational landscape continues to evolve, understanding these trends and prospects is crucial for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders navigating the intersection of technology and physical education. This exploration aims to contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the transformative impact technology has on the assessment practices within the realm of physical education, ultimately shaping a more inclusive, engaging, and personalized learning experience for students.
