Abstract:
One of the most important factors in determining whether or not an undergraduate student's internship and project work are effective is the supervision of those students. Several higher education institutions have implemented Learning Management Systems (LMSs) to facilitate the delivery of courses outside the classroom. This is a response to the influence of COVID-19 and the growing number of students enrolling in these schools. The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the efficacy of the Telegram app for overseeing and supporting students in their last year of physical education as they completed project work during an internship. For the study, this methodology was utilised to investigate the lived experiences of 19 participants who were purposefully selected for involvement. Individual interviews were conducted with nine participants, while the remaining participants took part in talks held in an intimate group setting. To determine the extent to which the themes were connected, the Technological Acceptance Model (TAM) was utilised. A classification system was used to classify the findings of the research into three categories: (1) simplicity, (2) suitability and efficiency, and (3) effective application.
