Objective of the study was to analyze the student satisfaction with the academic physical education service.
Methods and structure of the study. We sampled for the questionnaire survey (run in 2018) university students (n=1000) from the Belgorod, Kursk and Lipetsk Oblast universities. For the purposes of the study, we quoted the sample to make micro-models of the local student communities and academic physical education services in Belgorod, Kursk, Lipetsk and Stary Oskol cities. The questionnaire survey was designed to rate the communal dispositions and progress agendas in the academic physical education domain. The questionnaire survey data made it possible to analyze the student satisfaction with the academic physical education service. We found that the academic communities complement the standard academic physical education service by the following physical education and sports services: (1) elective academic sports; (2) leisure-time physical education and sports practices in gyms; (3) University mass physical education and sports / health events; and (4) GTO trainings and physical fitness tests.
Results and conclusion. Based on the questionnaire survey data, we analyzed the students interest in the elective academic sports; leisure-time physical education and sports practices in gyms; university mass physical education and sports / health events; and GTO trainings and physical fitness tests. Our main conclusion is that it is via the healthy values and priorities formation efforts that the student communities should be motivated for the academic physical education and sport service on an off-class basis to meet their physical progress and health needs unrelated directly to academic performance. Our study found the following most popular academic physical education service forms: leisure time physical education and sports practices in gyms; university mass physical education and sports / health events; GTO trainings and physical fitness tests; and elective sports in the academic physical education curricula. We found that, despite the relatively high commitment of students of the academic physical education service, some of them face attendance barriers due to gym service non-affordability and some psychological barriers. About half of the sample was found partially or fully uncovered by or disinterested in the academic physical education service. Based on the questionnaire survey data and analysis, we tend to believe that the main contributor to the still relatively low academic physical education satisfaction rates is the poor physical education and sports motivations in the student communities.
