Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the assessment of the physical education curriculum at the college level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The research involved a diverse population of 50 physical education undergraduate students, 25 physical education teachers, and 25 curriculum developers, from eight-degree colleges. To gather the necessary data, a survey technique was employed, utilizing a well-structured questionnaire based on a Likert scale ranging from "very much" to "not at all." Responses were analyzed using SPSS, applying various statistical techniques to interpret the data. The findings indicated a strong consensus among respondents regarding the significance and effectiveness of the existing health and physical education curriculum in fostering personality growth, promoting good personal habits, and maintaining physical fitness. However, it was noteworthy that the enhancement of social learning skills among students was not supported by the respondents. Overall, the study had significant insights that led to well-informed conclusions and actionable recommendations for improving the physical education curriculum in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
