Abstract

Aiming to keep up with the global trends in sports performance brought some challenges among State University and Colleges (SUCs) in Bicol Region. The study is qualitative and quantitative research to develop sports performance metrics for the state universities and colleges in the Philippines. Practices of SUCs in sports development served as a basis to create metrics in measuring SUCs' sports performance in the Bicol Region. The developed metrics were content and face validated by five SUC sports directors, and five professors in sports science. Suggestions from these experts were sought to improve the content and construct of the developed metrics. Fifty respondents pilot-tested the developed metrics of the study and selected sports stakeholders participated in the focus group discussion to discuss their comments and suggestions for the metrics. The development of the metrics was conducted in four phases: selecting possible indicators of the standards; content and construct validation of indicators; try out of the evaluation tool and test of reliability. Results showed that all of the items in the subscales included in the developed standard metrics can be considered good to excellent and can be used to assess the state universities and college's sports performances. The development of the metrics on sports performance may contribute to the total quality management of the educational institution and may provide in promoting healthy and alert citizenry.
