The Management of Sports-Oriented Physical Education Program in China

This quantitative research determines perceptions students on the sports-oriented physical education program in a selected university in China in terms of Seasons, Team Affiliation, Formal Competition, Record Keeping, Culminating Events, and Festivity. Mean scores of each construct were used to determine satisfaction levels overall and assess differences by demographic factors, including sex and year level, through a quantitative analysis approach. Students overall rated the program highly, expressing that it is generally well-run across all dimensions. Festivity received the highest scores, highlighting students' appreciation for community development and the celebratory aspects of the program. No statistically significant differences were found by sex or year level, suggesting the program is perceived as accessible and fair for all students. Some areas for improvement were identified, such as competition fairness and record-keeping practices. Recommended adjustments include increased transparency in competition guidelines, comprehensive record-keeping practices, and introducing flexible team roles to better meet student expectations for engagement, skill development, and satisfaction within the PE program. These findings suggest that the physical education program is organized effectively to accommodate diverse student abilities, fostering an inclusive environment.
