— Physical Education (PE) is integral to most curricula, often intertwined with health education to instill essential fitness skills and encourage healthy lifestyles. In the conducted research at WCC Aeronautical and Technological College Inc., Binalonan Campus, the study compared the effectiveness, motivation, and learning outcomes of hybrid Physical Education (PE) with traditional face-to-face PE. The findings indicated that students perceived both online and face-to-face PE methods differently. The study found that students perceived online PE as effective in terms of accessibility, engagement, and organization, with 52.7% finding the online approach effective for time management. Regarding teaching materials and facilities, online methods were deemed effective. However, motivation levels varied, with 45.3% showing average interest, indicating a complex spectrum of student engagement. Importantly, factors such as gender, academic strand, devices used, and internet connectivity did not significantly impact either the effectiveness of hybrid learning or students’ motivation levels. These findings emphasize the diverse needs of students and provide valuable insights for improving hybrid PE programs. In terms of hybrid learning, students found it effective for accessibility, engagement, organization, time management, and teaching materials presentation. On the other hand, face-to-face PE was highly regarded for its effectiveness in areas such as face-to-face teaching materials presentation, teacher explanations, material understandability, impact on student performance, and maintenance of facilities. Student motivation levels varied in both settings, emphasizing the complexity of student engagement. Importantly, the study found that factors such as gender, academic strand, devices used, and internet connectivity did not significantly influence the effectiveness of either hybrid or face-to-face PE methods, highlighting the need for tailored approaches to meet diverse student needs in both learning modalities.
