Exploring students’ previous experiences and expectations about physical education at the university.

Within the framework of Physical Education (PE), we conducted an experimental study on the sample of 168 firstyear students at the Faculty of Agriculture with the aim of knowing the experiences of first-year students in PE in their previous education, as well as investigating their expectations and interest in sports activity. The study was conducted through an anonymous questionnaire at the beginning of the winter semester 2019/2020 ac. year. The data was analyzed using SAS 9.4. The analysis confirmed the data from previous studies conducted on the sample of students in the Faculty of Agriculture (2008 ; 2017), where the majority of students, especially females, participated only in PE classes (2019/2020: 45.83%), the studies emphasized the PE role in the university. Previous experience in PE classes was rated as: very good and good by the majority of first-year students. The quality of PE was determined by the PE organization and implementation of different types of teaching methods and motor tasks. Conclusion: except for cycling, all the sport activities preferred by the freshmen have already been implemented in the PE curriculum, which is a good start to meet their expectations.
