Abstract
This study investigates physical education
(PE) quality and student engagement under the multi-campus operational model at
the University of Finance - Marketing (UFM), specifically analyzing the
structural friction across the Tan My, Duc Nhuan, and Long Truong campuses.
Utilizing a cross-sectional quantitative design with a stratified random sample
of undergraduate students (N = 300), the empirical results indicate that severe
spatial constraints at the urban Duc Nhuan campus (M = 1.15) and significant commuting
fatigue to the distant Long Truong hub (M = 4.12) heavily suppress intrinsic
motivation, driving 80.7% of the cohort to view PE merely as a compulsory
graduation requirement. However, correlation analysis reveals that innovative
instructional pedagogy shares a substantially stronger relationship with
student engagement (r = 0.56, p < 0.01$) than physical infrastructure
adequacy (r = 0.38, p < 0.01). The study concludes that multi-campus
universities can successfully bypass rigid physical constraints and revitalize
student interest by transitioning to spatial-agile, tech-supported pedagogical
frameworks such as hybrid blended learning, gamified mobile data tracking, and
low-space functional fitness modules (Zumba, Yoga, HIIT), thereby transforming
a fragmented logistical challenge into a standardized, modern learning network.
