Physical Education Environment on University Students' Self-Efficacy

Abstract

Abstract

This study explores the impact of the physical education (PE) environment on university students' self-efficacy, focusing on key factors such as teacher support, facility quality, peer influence, and curriculum structure. Based on a quantitative analysis of 300 students, findings reveal a positive correlation between supportive PE environments and heightened self-efficacy, especially when social support is strong. The results highlight the importance of well-structured PE programs in enhancing student engagement and psychological well-being. However, limitations include reliance on self-reported data and a cross-sectional design. Recommendations suggest improved resources and instructor development to support student growth.
