Abstract

Thailand has determined that physical education (PE) is an important subject for university students. The purpose of this research was to study the factors affecting the development of physical education instruction in university to achieve the intended purpose. The sample included 1,000 students, 558 male and 442 female students, selected using stratified random sampling method (Stratified Random Sampling) and were divided into groups based on sport types. The data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using frequency and percentage. The results showed that the factors that had the highest percentage for the overall development of teaching physical education in the personalities of Physical Education instructors (59.18%) and the measurement and evaluation had the lowest percentage (45.53%). Based on the gender, the personality factor was still the most important factor at a rate of 58.66% and 62.33% for male and female. However, the course content and curriculum were at a minimum percentage for male students (45.42%) while the teaching methods and activities were for female students (46.81%) because of the increased interest of male students in activities more than in the content, which corresponds to gender behavior. For sport, badminton, table tennis, dance, tennis and basketball, the personality factor was still the most important. Based on the above findings, there was a significant result on the personality of the Physical Education teacher. This was because of being a role model and motivating people to take part in student activities at university even though the students concentrated on learning in classroom.
