Abstract
This study aimed to find out the relationship of the students’ attitudes and academic performance in PE. Descriptive-correlation of research using standardized questionnaire were used. The respondents were college students who had taken PE 1, 2, 3 and 4. Respondents who have good PE academic performance have positive attitudes towards PE. There was a significant relationship between attitudes towards the activities, curriculum, and academic performance in PE. While teacher, facilities and academic performance have no significant relationship. There was no significant difference in respondents’ attitudes and PE academic performance in terms of gender. However, according to course, there was a significant difference. Thus, academic performance in PE is greatly affected by attitudes of students. Attitudes influence their actions to engage in academic work. It is recommended that the PE teachers may design and give physical activities that are interesting that would help and make the students more active and participative.
