Enhancing Sports Education in Resource-Limited: Usability and Scalability of a Novel Street Tennis Module

This study focuses on the third phase of Design and Development Research (DDR), evaluating the usability of the street tennis module designed to address resource limitations in Malaysian primary schools. The usability evaluation employed the Nominal Group Technique (NGT), involving 20 primary school teachers with foundational tennis knowledge and four field experts. Findings revealed exceptionally high usability scores, ranging from 96.42% to 98.57%. The module incorporates cost-effective equipment and flexible implementation strategies, ensuring accessibility for schools lacking traditional tennis facilities. Grounded in frameworks such as Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) and the Stages of Learning Theory, the module effectively enhances student engagement, skill development, and holistic growth. Additionally, the module demonstrates scalability and adaptability across diverse educational contexts, addressing the gaps in access to quality physical education. This study underscores the module’s potential to bridge disparities in resource-limited settings and its ability to serve as a foundation for future research and policy initiatives. The findings offer actionable insights for policymakers and educators seeking innovative solutions to improve sports education equity in under-resourced schools.
