Improving Performance in Physical Education Through Students’ Enrichment Activity Training (SEAT)

This study aimed to determine the Physical Activity and Students Performance of grade 11 students in Physical Education Class of Baliwasan Senior High School during the school year 2022-2023. The study employed quasi-experimental research design using pre-test and post-test in physical education during the second semester period. The participants of this study were 50 Grade 11 students of GAS A and 50 GAS B students under the GAS strand. A purposive sampling technique was utilized in determining the sample of the study. The findings revealed that the performance of grade 11 students was satisfactory. The pretest for both the control and experimental group was poor. The posttest results of the control and experimental group were satisfactory. The mean gain score of the control and experimental group increased significantly. There was a significant difference in the mean gain score of the control and experimental group. There was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results in physical education of the control and experimental group. It is highly recommended that the senior high school teachers may use the FITT intervention program and the application of CSPAP strategy approach in teaching physical education. They may also integrate the SEAT in physical education class where the students’ performance was unified in their performance task and the teacher recorded their response and outcome through rubrics.
