Establishing student exchange programs is one way for sports science faculty to support the University to be a world-class university. For several years the faculty has been hosting several batches of a sports students exchange (SSE) program that gains interest and benefits for the students and the institution; however, limited studies have been conducted to present information about the program and its support system. This research is conducted to explain and give an overview of the program as well as explore the support system of the program. Three primary data, namely a depth-interview, questionnaire, and documentation, are gathered to explore the SSE program. The participants are lectures, faculty management, and students involved in the SSE in 2018-2019. The existence of the SSE program was exceedingly influenced by the faculty participation in AUCPESS. A grant from the Dharmasiswa Scholarship that aimed to bolster the exchange of culture and build up the Faculty's International atmosphere was the first booster. However, after the funding stopped, the program ran independently with non-financial support from Rector, faculty management, partner universities, and students. Hence, funding is not a pivotal issue as long as the University and faculty management eager to support the program.

The role of sports engagement and perception of success has been known to be very important in the performance of athletes. This study seeks to examine the mediating role of thoughts and emotions in the relationship between sports engagement and perception of success. A sample of 1138 athletes answered perception of success questionnaire, sports engagement scale, and perceived control of internal state questionnaire. The results showed that the athletes with high dedication (commitment, enthusiasm) on sports engagement are likely to increase perception of success due to high perceived thought, and high emotion. Additionally, athletes with high absorption (interest) on sports engagement are likely to increase perception of success due to high perceived thought, and emotion. On the other hand, athletes with higher vigor (drive, force, energy) in sports engagement are likely to have high perception of success due to low perceived thought and low emotion. Furthermore, the result suggest the importance of how sports engagement affect athletes' perception of success through the differential effects of perceived control of internal state namely thoughts and emotions among athletes.

This qualitative study explored the PE teachers' experiences in teaching online during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, it aimed to investigate the teaching experiences and perspectives of the PE teachers and the educational theories that guided them on online teaching. Another purpose of the study was to understand the insights of the PE teachers with regards to their instructional practices of online teaching. PE college teachers from the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) served as participants of the study. In order to describe PE teachers' instructional practices and perspectives regarding online PE teaching, the following research questions guided the study: (1) What are the daily instructional practices of participating online PE teachers; (2) What educational theories guided these teachers' online teaching of PE? and (3) What are the perspectives and reflections of the PE teachers on online learning? Data collection methods for this case study included 1) interviews with online PE teachers, 2) virtual classroom observations and field notes, and 3) e-mail communications between the researcher and the participants. Results showed that teachers provided demonstration classes and allowed students to be creative in submitting their outputs. They practiced differentiated instruction, challenged the creativity of students and developed innovative ways of teaching PE online.
