This research employed a quantitative research method using a descriptive correlational design. This study involved 303 respondents and utilized a stratified random sampling technique for data gathering, done electronically through email with a link to the Google form-made questionnaire sent to the respondents. Mean, and Pearson r were the statistical tools used to describe the significant level and correlation of the contrasts in this study. The results found a high descriptive level for the educational technology standards in physical education and a moderate descriptive level for physical activity self-efficacy. Finally, bivariate correlation analysis using “Pearson r Product Moment Correlation” was employed to determine the relationship between the variables. The correlation analysis involving educational technology standards and physical activity self-efficacy yielded an r -value = (0.259) with a probability value of p (<0.000), less than the alpha value = (0.05), and the decision on Ho was rejected. Thus, there is a piece of sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis of no meaningful relationship between variables. This means that there is a significance in the relationship between educational technology standards and physical activity self-efficacy in physical education classes.

The study was reviewed and approved by the University of Mindanao Ethics Reviewer Committee (UMERC), Philippines with protocol number (UMERC-2021-215) after thorough evaluation of the study protocols and standardized criteria.
