| Summary: | <p>Understanding the application of the concept of equity is very crucial especially in educational</p><p>course. In the case of physical education, equal opportunity in the sense of offering each student</p><p>equal access to the programmes while ignoring individual differences is not an alternative in</p><p>achieving gender equity. What is more appropriate is equality of outcome, which recognises that</p><p>each student gets what is necessary to be educated. This study seeks to understand the module of</p><p>PLKN's physical activity with respect to trainees' perceptions toward the concept of equity in</p><p>physical activity. The purpose of the study is to find out whether the physical module of PLKN is</p><p>seen as equitable by both genders. A stratified sampling has been applied whereby 160 PLKN trainees</p><p>at Jugra Camp Banting were given a questionnaire. The study employed an adapted version of Life</p><p>Effectiveness Questionnaires which comprises seven dimensions (Neill et al., 2003). A total of</p><p>159 trainees responded, comprising a 99.4% return-rate. Quantitative analysis of the data was done</p><p>using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The quantitative findings of the study on</p><p>the seven dimensions of Life Effectiveness Questionnaire show that no statistically significant</p><p>difference exists between male and female trainees in the physical module with the exception on</p><p>self-confidence and course values.</p><p></p> |
