Sport Mont 2026, 24(1), Ahead of Print | DOI: 10.26773/smj.260207
Abstract
This study aimed to ascertain the function of physical education instructors in the integration of universal ideals within educational institutions via physical education. This research employs a quantitative methodology utilizing a compara tive study approach. This study involved 169 physical education teachers across different educational levels, compris ing 113 males and 56 females. The instrument used in this study is the Universal Values in Sport Instrument (UVSI). This instrument uses 5 dimensions and there are 23 indicators. The gender evaluation indicates a significance value greater than 0.05, signifying that there is no discernible difference between male and female teachers in the implementation of universal principles. Similarly, the results of the level evaluation indicate a significance value greater than 0.05, suggest ing that both bachelor’s and master’s level educators possess comparable capabilities in the integration of universal values within physical education. Thus, training or professional development programs that focus on strengthening the teaching of universal values should be provided evenly to all physical education teachers. Furthermore, school policies can facilitate a uniform strategy for cultivating student character through physical activity, irrespective of the teacher’s educational background or gender.
