ENHANCING PHYSICAL EDUCATION LEARNING THROUGH MODERNIZED INTERACTIVE TEACHING APPROACHES: A STUDENT PERCEPTION AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE STUDY

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate student perceptions of updated teaching approaches and their academic performance in the second semester of 2022-2023. Using a descriptive-correlational design, the research involved 30 college students from Bulacan State University in Physical Education classes. A self-developed questionnaire with a four-point Likert scale gauged opinions on modern teaching. Academic data came from P.E. grades. Results highlighted simulation methods improving theoretical and practical P.E. understanding. Students enjoyed simulation-based classes, found peer teaching effective for confidence and mutual learning, and noted cooperative learning enhanced teamwork and social skills. Problem-solving activities boosted critical thinking and adaptability. Academic performance varied, with simulation correlating slightly stronger. The study shows interactive techniques enhance P.E. learning, despite weak academic correlations. Positive perceptions suggest a potential for enriched P.E. education.
