Abstract
This study examined how social support and teacher feedback influence student engagement in physical education among college students, using a descriptive-correlational design with data from 354 second-year students enrolled in PE courses at three private colleges in Tagum City. Validated questionnaires measured social support, teacher feedback, and engagement, revealing that students generally experienced high levels of support and feedback, with engagement also rated high. Both social support and teacher feedback were significantly related to engagement, but teacher feedback was the stronger predictor, highlighting its important role in motivating active participation in physical education. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educators focus on delivering timely, specific, and constructive feedback while also fostering supportive environments that encourage peer and institutional support, thereby enhancing overall student engagement and commitment to physical activity.
