Finding Balance: Seeing Physical Education as a College Major”

BY ARVIN JAY BILLONES

A recent survey conducted among first-year college students of the College of Education has revealed their limited interest in taking a physical education as their specialization course The survey, in which over 20 freshmen students participated, revealed their attitudes and perceptions about the importance of physical activity as part of a student's academic journey at the Angeles University Foundation

The class of BEEd 1A was asked “Given the chance, would you take physical education as your major? Why or why not?”

The majority of the surveyed students, approximately 85%, expressed that they will not enroll in a physical education major in their 2nd year of college. The reasons given for the decision varied, ranging from health issues to a lack of confidence in performance

One of the respondents, Kyroh Ramirez, said that majoring in physical education has never been his choice “Due to my health condition, I would not want to engage in any physical activity because it might trigger my seizures,” he added

Another student, Akia Estepa, also expressed her sentiments about not taking the same course “I was never interested in PE even as a high school student I was slightly on the weak side when it comes to being physically active,” noted she

Interestingly despite deciding not to take the major, students still recognized the benefits of physical education Students believed that the social aspect of physical education classes would help foster friendships and provide a sense of belonging at school Connections with students who have interests were an additional advantage

On the other hand, three of the freshmen students namely Xavier Arches, Luilyn Ocampo, and Ma Ferina Sengson from BEEd 1A, answered that will take a physical education major course if given the chance Also, they all agreed that this course is surely fun to take.

In the realm of mathematics education, the importance of employing accurate formulas to tackle problem-solving has been emphasized from the very beginning. Any incorrect answer signals a flawed approach, necessitating a shift to the correct methodology However, this understanding is not common to everyone, highlighting the significance of employing an appropriate approach to effectively resolve mathematical challenges.

In recent times, the Department of Education has been employing an erroneous methodology in addressing its internal challenges

Just recently, DepEd issued an internal memorandum to its regional and division offices, requesting them to identify teachers who have affiliations with the Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) group and are enrolled in the office's Automatic Payroll Deduction System The information collected will include details such as the identified teachers' division, school, and position
