本研究之目的有三：一、瞭解體育課程目的量表是否具內容效度，二、瞭解高中學生之體育課程目的面向，三、瞭解不同背景變項高中學生之體育課程目的面向是否有差異。研究對象為臺灣地區公私立高中（不含高職及完全中學）學生1,005位，研究方法採用問卷調查法，研究工具為體育課程目的量表，資料分析方法包括：描述性統計、t檢定、單因子變異數分析及課程目的模式驗證等，研究結果指出：一、體育課程目的量表具內容效度；二、高中學生之體育課程目的面向，以生理效益、團隊互動及心理健康等目的為主；三、高中學生體育課程目的面向會受到不同性別、不同就讀區域之影響，但不會受到不同年級的影響。本研究結論：高中學生之體育課程目的面向以生理效益、團隊互動或心理健康為主，建議體育教師在未來設計體育課程時，可以依據上述目的設計符合學生需求之課程，亦可打破以年級或班級進行課程設計，可以更有效提升體育課程之效能及品質。

The aims of this study were to understand the Purpose for Engaging Physical Activity Scale (PEPAS), which had the content validity or not and also to understand the purpose dimensions for physical education of senior high schools students, and to compare them by the categories, such as gender, grade, and location. Students (n=1, 005) of 14 senior high schools were involved in this study. The data obtained from the subjects questionnaires were analyzed by descriptive statistic, t-test, one-way ANOVA and confirmatory factor analysis. The results were observed as follows: (a) The PEPAS had the content validity. (b) The purpose dimensions for physical education of senior high school students were focused on the dimensions of physiological efficiency, group interaction, and psychological well-being. (c) The purpose dimensions for physical education of those students were affected by gender and location, and not influenced by grade. In conclusion, the purpose dimensions for physical education of senior high school students were focused on the dimensions of physiological efficiency, group interaction, and psychological well-being. Based on these finding, it is advised that physical educators need to design the programs, which could enhance the quality of physical education among senior high school students.
