“…They enjoyed socializing with peers through movement and learning skills that they could use to live a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, teachers could implement more physical activities that allow students to socialize with each other like a walk and talk activity (Murfay et al, 2020). PE could also focus more on individual mastery-oriented experiences that emphasize being physically active for better health than on performance outcomes associated with sports or competitive activities (Carlin et al, 2015).…”

The current case study was designed to seek out incoming high school students’ perceptions of physical education (PE) and how students felt former PE teachers influenced their perceptions. The study was conducted at a high school in the United States and included semi-structured focus group interviews of 25 students. The results indicated that students have a mix of positive and negative perceptions of PE and reported that the purpose of PE was to participate in physical activity (PA) and learn how to live a healthy lifestyle through fun and meaningful experiences (theme 1). A fun and meaningful PE experience included learning how to live a healthy lifestyle, experiencing success in a variety of physical activities, and engaging socially with other peers (theme 2). The majority of students stated that their teachers controlled the factors that influenced their level of enjoyment in PE (theme 3). Students recognized that these activities and their teachers’ actions influenced their interpretations of their PA experiences in PE. Students reported that these perceptions could influence their future participation in PA. Based on the results of the study, PE has the potential to provide students with positive experiences with PA that encourage individual competence over social comparison. This, combined with meaningful content that is based on PE standards and students’ personal interests, can help to develop positive student perceptions of PE and increase students’ participation in PA.

Purpose: This qualitative case study examined students’ interpretations of their physical activity (PA) experiences within in-person and online physical education and how that influenced their PA self-efficacy. Method: The study participants were 40 (24 females) current high school students from three different schools who participated in focus group semistructured interviews. Results: Two themes were developed during analysis of the coded data: (a) online participation in PA within physical education was awkward and (b) students had a variety of observational preferences based on perceived and actual similarities/differences between students and their teachers, peers, and people within online videos. Discussion/Conclusion: The design of PA experiences should attempt to support or increase students’ PA self-efficacy by limiting students’ feelings of being uncomfortable or on display, increasing students’ opportunities to learn from each other in comfortable ways, and providing students with detailed demonstrations from teachers and peers with a variety of skill levels.
