Determinants of attitudes towards well-being of students in physical education

The study seeks to investigate the determinants of the level of students’ attitudes towards their levels of well-being under the course on Physical Education, a mandated course of the tertiary level in the Philippines. To determine its underlying relationship, Pearson Product Moment Correlation is utilized with the use of the stratified random sampling technique. On the basis of the survey of about 312 students taking up Physical Education 3, that is, on games and sports during the semester, findings revealed that the level of students’ attitude in terms of cognitive, affective and behavioural components towards physical education is high. The level of well-being of students in terms of intellectual, emotional, physical, social, occupational, and spiritual in relation to PE is also high. Further, the results also demonstrate a significant relationship between the level of the students’ attitudes and the components of well-being. This implies that the attitudes of students during physical education classes are related to their well-being. Thus, the latter is dependent on their attitudes in relation to physical education. Such findings are noteworthy for the Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to review educational policies and enhance the quality of instruction of physical education courses responding to the demands of times.
