Enhancing athletic meet event management: An online platform for teachers to learn professional rules and management skills

Background: Athletic meet is an important event in both primary and secondary school. Generally, the PE teacher assigns some of the referee position to other non-PE subjects teachers. However, most of these teachers lack knowledge related to track and field officiating. Although there are some written instructions on managing referee duties, these do not specifically address athletic meets and the content is often too complex and difficult to understand. There appears to be a lack of a structured video introduction on online platforms designed to assist teachers in conducting athletic meets in schools.
Aim: To create an online-platform which provides videos for in-service teachers, sharing ideas on how to organize and manage all of the track and field events in school athletic meets and basic rules in each event. These resources are provided with essential information that is easy to understand.
Method: This online platform will benefit all school teachers. The capstone project is divided into five stages: i) Information collection, ii) Information analysis, iii) Video production, iv) Online platform construction, and v) Amendment.
Conclusion: This online platform provides videos with professional knowledge of track and field rules and shares ideas on organizing each event. It gives in-service teachers a basic understanding of managing referee positions during athletic meets. This resource enhances the fluency of conducting athletic meets and reduces safety issues.
