Abstract

This study evaluates the current state of physical education (PE) at three member universities of the University of Da Nang: University of Science and Technology, University of Economics, and University of Education. A comprehensive survey was conducted on 610 students and 200 administrators and lecturers to assess the effectiveness of PE management. The results indicate several challenges, including outdated infrastructure, lack of personalized curriculum planning, low student awareness, and limited participation in extracurricular activities. To address these issues, seven specific measures were developed. These include curriculum reform focusing on competency, enhancing the qualifications and pedagogical skills of lecturers, upgrading facilities, strengthening links between school sports and PE, applying technology in PE assessment and planning, and promoting awareness through school campaigns. All proposed measures were assessed for their necessity and feasibility using a 4-point Likert scale and received high ratings. The study offers empirical insights and practical suggestions to improve the quality of PE programs and align them with global standards of sustainability, health, and technology.
