The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Inclusive Physical Education in Harbin Universities

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on inclusive physical education within universities in Harbin, aiming to understand how AI technologies can enhance equitable and meaningful participation for all students. Recognizing the increasing global emphasis on inclusive education and the transformative potential of AI, this research addresses a significant gap in the literature concerning AI’s application in experiential, movement-based disciplines, particularly in non-Western higher education contexts. Through a comprehensive review of existing scholarship, the study establishes that traditional inclusive physical education faces challenges such as large class sizes, resource limitations, and insufficient personalized support. AI offers promising solutions by enabling personalized activity design, providing real-time performance feedback, and facilitating adaptive learning environments. However, empirical evidence demonstrating its sustained impact on fostering inclusivity remains limited. This research highlights the need for rigorous investigations into how AI can genuinely enhance accessibility, engagement, and learning outcomes for a diverse student population in physical education. The findings contribute to refining theoretical frameworks for technology integration in practical educational settings and provide actionable insights for physical education educators and university administrators in Harbin and beyond, guiding professional development and strategic investments to cultivate more equitable and effective physical education experience.
