Digital technologies as a tool for organizing blended learning in physical culture for higher education students (using the example of the PRC)

Abstract

The article examines the organization of the educational process in physical education in the People’s Republic of China under conditions of digitalization and the implementation of “smart education” technologies. Particular attention is paid to the use of blended learning models, digital platforms, data analytics, smart devices, and mobile applications in higher education. The study highlights the advantages of digital technologies in physical education, including personalized learning trajectories, operational feedback, objective assessment, and increased student motivation. At the same time, challenges related to unequal access to digital infrastructure, insufficient digital competence, data privacy, and the risks of excessive technologization are analyzed. The article substantiates a three-phase blended learning model for physical education students that combines face-to-face instruction with digital support, monitoring, and reflective assessment.
