Abstract
This study aimed to describe the experiences of College PE students in implementing the Physical Education Curriculum, coping mechanisms for the challenges encountered, and the learning insights observed. Five participants in the study were second-year college students from Notre Dame of Marbel University, taking PE122 Team Sports subject. The status of the implementation of physical education was geared toward two significant themes: satisfying the students in the teaching instruction and enjoying the Physical Activities. At the same time, the coping mechanism for the challenges in implementing physical education was geared toward two significant themes: worry and lacking a positive attitude towards learning the skills and boosting confidence in performing the skills. In addition, the learning insights drawn to improve the implementation of physical education at the tertiary level are presented in two major themes: improving the learning instructions and providing holistic development activities to students. The Commission on Higher Education should consider the needs of the learners and teachers in planning the Physical Education subject to implement the Physical Education curriculum at the tertiary level effectively. The teacher applies unique teaching styles to activate the participation of the students in the physical activities and provide meaningful learning experiences to students.
