The aim of this study is to explore the differences in high school students' perceptions of the meaningfulness and learning environment of physical education (PE) classes in Hualien City, Taiwan, and to investigate the relationship between them. The study examines background variables such as gender and frequency of sports participation. The primary sample consists of tenth-grade students from Hualien City's National High Schools, with 200 questionnaires distributed and 199 valid responses collected, including 93 male students and 106 female students, resulting in a response rate of 99%.The results show that: 1. Male students believe that meaningful PE classes should emphasize social cohesion, self-challenge, and self-expression, and they score higher than female students on perceptions of challenge, competition, and control in the PE learning environment. 2. Students with higher frequency of sports participation identify with the meaningfulness of PE classes, while those with lower frequency perceive PE classes as lacking meaning and value. Students with higher sports participation frequency prefer challenging and competitive PE learning environments. 3. There is a positive correlation between perceived meaningfulness of PE classes and perception of the learning environment, but self-challenge and fear perception show a negative correlation. When students perceive PE classes as meaningful, their motivation to participate in PE is enhanced. Understanding the relationship between high school students' perceptions of the meaningfulness and learning environment of PE classes contributes to a deeper understanding of students' attitudes and motivations towards PE. |
