ABSTRACT:
The study presents the results from a pilot project in which 360˚ videos were utilized for teaching students basic volleyball skills. The target group was thirty-six, eleven-to-twelve years-old primary school students, divided into two groups: the first was taught conventionally and the second using apps in which 360˚ videos were embedded. The project lasted for six two-teaching-hour sessions (three for each method), and data were collected using observation sheets and a questionnaire for recording students’ views regarding their experience. The data analysis confirmed that, compared with conventional teaching, 360˚ videos allowed students to perform better the skills that were examined. The participating students also thought that by viewing 360˚ videos they were more motivated to learn and that their experience was an enjoyable one. On the other hand, students did not consider the 360˚ videos as being useful in their learning. Given the lack of research in this field, the findings provide an initial indication of 360˚ videos’ potential in Physical Education. Then again, the results also point to the need of finding more innovative methods for integrating 360˚ videos in everyday teaching.

KEY WORDS: 360o videos, primary school students, skills, volleyball.
