Curriculum Evaluation in Physical Education Program

With the implementation of the new Bachelor of Physical Education Major in Sports and Wellness program for seven years and the UNESCO¿s emphasis on Quality Physical Education, there is a need for an evaluation of its quality that will aid the administrators and the faculty in further enhancing it. This research examined the importance, concreteness, and effectiveness of the 17 attributes of Engagement Theory of Program Quality on students¿ growth and development. The significant difference in the perception between the faculty and the students on the three aspects was also tested. The results revealed that the 17 attributes are deemed important indicators of program quality, concrete in the stakeholders¿ experience, and effective contributors to students¿ growth and development. Still, increased student involvement, re-tooling of faculty, especially on mentoring, proper orientation on professional residency and tangible products like thesis, and sufficient funding for sports facilities would help ensure the optimal quality of the Bachelor of Physical Education Major in Sports and Wellness programs.
