Question 10

Smartwatch Tracking in Schools?

Schools are increasingly exploring the use of wearable fitness trackers, such as smartwatches, to monitor and record students' physical activity levels during physical education (PE) classes and throughout the school day. While proponents argue that tracking encourages healthy competition and objective health monitoring, critics express concern over data privacy, constant surveillance, and the psychological impact of step-count comparison. Researchers wish to investigate students' attitudes towards the compulsory use of school-issued smartwatches.

Explain how you would use the self-report method to investigate students' attitudes towards the compulsory use of school-issued smartwatches.

You must refer to:

  • the use of a semi-structured interview
  • one question that uses a Likert scale
  • one question that would produce quantifiable data

You should use your own experience of practical activities to inform your response.
