Abstract—Computer Aided Learning (CAL) is no more an uncommon phenomena in the education arena of Malaysia today. This instructional approach had been applied in the process of teaching and learning for many school subjects but there is very little application in Physical Education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of E-Sports courseware for teaching psychomotor skills which was developed based on the Simpson’s Psychomotor Domain Taxonomy. The E-Sports courseware was developed for the topic of Triple Jump in Physical Education syllabus. This descriptive type of study comprised of 60 samples from a secondary school in Malaysia. The instruments of the study were questionnaires to evaluate the courseware, a pre-test and post-test analyzed using t-Test for students’ performance. The data were also supported by interviews and observations while interacting with the courseware. The significant value of 0.000 showed that there were differences before and after learning with the courseware. This means that there is an increase in knowledge of skills in triple jump. The result of the study also showed positive effects on level of achievement in Simpson’s Psychomotor Domain Taxonomy. As a conclusion, the development of E-Sports courseware is able to trigger positive effects towards students’ psychomotor skills learning and may assist in identifying young sport talent.
