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