Abstract

According to some studies, physical self-concept has an important role in developing one’s physical fitness. Students of physical education program, as prospective educators, are expected to have a good physical self-concept, because they will serve as motivators for their students in increasing physical activity. The study of physical self-concept in the prospective physical education teachers in Indonesia is still relatively rare. Therefore, this study aims to examine the physical self-concept of physical education students in terms of their involvement in sports extracurricular activities. The method used was causal comparative. The sample is a student of physical education program from PJKR program of Galuh Ciamis University as many as 103 people, in which 69 people are involved in extracurricular sport and 34 people are not involved. The instrument was personal self-description questionnaire (PSDQ). The results showed that there was a significant difference between physical self-concept of physical education program students involved in extracurricular sports with those who are not involved (p = 0.006).The students of physical education programs that engage extracurricular sports have higher average physical self-concept than those who are not involved in extracurricular activities. These results indicate that, the involvement of prospective teacher candidates in extracurricular sports has an important role in improving the physical self-concept.
