Students’ Flow-Experience in the College Physical Education Classroom

In this study, "Flow" described the subjective psychological experience of college students during practice and exercise in physical education classes. So far, the term "flow" had been used to study the psychological state of athletes using Flow theory, making "flow" more suitable than terms like "fascinated" or "immersed," which is why it was employed in this paper. In this study, the "flow experience" related to the teaching of college physical education referred to the state of complete engagement of college students in the classroom, their enjoyment of course learning, and their internal motivation for learning.This study investigated the flow experiences of physical education majors, non-physical education students, and students involved in confrontational and non-confrontational sports courses at Bozhou University. It collected data on students' flow experiences, compared these across different groups, analyzed differences and correlations, and provided recommendations for enhancing flow experiences in physical education courses.
