Exploring the Influence of Self-Efficacy on Physical Education Engagement
June 5, 2025 - 05:34
Recent research has delved into the intricate relationship between exercising self-efficacy and learning engagement in physical education. The study highlights how an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in physical activities can significantly impact their overall engagement in educational settings.
The findings suggest that self-efficacy not only directly influences students' motivation and participation in physical education but also does so indirectly through the concept of flow experience. Flow, characterized by complete immersion and enjoyment in an activity, acts as a crucial mediator in this dynamic.
Students who exhibit higher levels of self-efficacy are more likely to experience flow during physical activities, which in turn enhances their engagement and learning outcomes. This connection emphasizes the importance of fostering self-efficacy among students to create a more engaging and effective physical education environment.
As educators seek to improve student participation and success in physical education, understanding these relationships can inform teaching strategies and curriculum development.
