Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The primary purpose of this study is to identify the issues associated with online Physical Education classes at Quezon City University (Q.C.U) during the Academic Year 2021 - 2022 and to provide strategies for managing future online physical education programs efficiently. Descriptive approach in research was employed. The researcher-survey questionnaire served as the research instrument to identify challenges faced by the P.E teachers and students in QCU. A total of three hundred forty-eight (348) students and ten (10) PE teachers participated in this study. Collected responses were tabulated, summarized, treated with statistical tools using IBM SPSS Statistics 22, and presented by the researcher. Findings demonstrate the importance of considering the limitations of the virtual environment and making necessary adjustments to facilitate effective virtual physical education classes. The results highlight the significance of regular communication, clear instructions, and ongoing support to keep students engaged and motivated. Creating a supportive and inclusive virtual environment is crucial for encouraging active participation and interaction among students. By utilizing various strategies, teachers can ensure that student and teacher interaction remains central, enhancing the overall learning experience.
