Abstract
This study aimed to explore students’ satisfaction with boxing education courses. The study involved 98 sixth-semester university students and examined both the current level of course outcomes and students’ expectations regarding the courses. Students’ expectations and satisfaction levels were measured using a five-point Likert scale, and mean values were calculated to compare the results. The study was designed using two independent variables—course content and teaching methodologies—and one dependent variable, namely students’ satisfaction. In the first stage, the study identified the gap between students’ expectations and their actual learning experiences in boxing education courses. The findings revealed a statistically significant gap between students’ expectations and their actual experiences regarding course content and teaching methodologies (p<.05). Furthermore, students’ satisfaction was found to be directly associated with both course content and teaching methodologies (p<.05). The study concludes that boxing education courses require a redesign of their course content to make it more student-oriented, together with the implementation of teaching methodologies that effectively complement the course objectives and enhance students’ learning experiences.
