Challenges Perceived By the Physical Education Students in CIT-University towards Online Learning for School Year 2022-2023

This study explored the challenges faced by Physical Education (PE) students during online classes during the academic year 2022-2023. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected to identify key difficulties encountered by students. The findings revealed several significant obstacles, including technological issues, limited learning resources, difficulties in performing physical activities remotely, and heightened stress levels. These challenges negatively impacted students’ academic performance, motivation, and overall wellbeing. The study underscores the need for universities to implement targeted interventions to enhance the effectiveness of online PE classes and improve student-learning experiences in virtual settings.
