Assessment of learning outcomes in virtual physical education during covid-19: Vietnamese undergraduate perspectives

Under social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the widespread adoption of online teaching has raised remarkable concerns regarding the quality of learning, particularly undergraduate physical education (PE) programs. Based on student’s perspectives, this study utilized exploratory factor analysis to investigate the factors influencing the learning outcomes from several physical education courses. The survey involved 100 students who participated in PE virtual classrooms in Vietnam. The empirical results identified 5 key determinants of learning outcomes, including accessibility, lecture facilitation, motivation, preparedness, and personality. Severe network congestion emerged as the most significant factor affecting the overall PE learning outcomes. These findings offer valuable insights for enhancing the design of university-level physical education in the online setting.
