Effects of adjustment to physical education classes on adjustment to school by university students: Focusing on self-regulated learning

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among adjustment to school, adjustment to physical education classes, and a self-regulated learning strategy in physical education classes. The participants were 420 university students (male=248, female=172, mean age=18.70 yr, SD=1.23 yr), who completed a questionnaire assessing their adjustment to school, adjustment to physical education classes, and a self-regulated learning strategy for physical education classes. The researchers implemented a hypothetical model by utilizing structural covariance analysis. The results were as follows: (1) The hypothetical model showed acceptable fit indices (GFI=.94, CFI=.95, RMSEA=.079); (2) a self-regulated strategy had a positive effect on intention of solidarity (β=.31, p
