Abstract: Using the Perceived Physical Literacy Instrument (PPLI), we explored the factor structure and constructed a structural model for the Perceived Physical Literacy (PL) of educational/sports college students. Content validity and consistency of PPLI (18 entries) were selected and validated. The questionnaire was contested to the educational/sports college's students, screened as the research participants. Using SPSS as a computational tool, exploratory factor analysis was conducted, followed by validation factor analysis to determine the factor structure of the structural model. The content validity I-CVI of the PPLI was 0.8-1 and the S-CVI was 0.93, which is satisfactory for content validity and consistency. The structural model was determined to be a 3-factor, 16-item factor structure with satisfactory validity. During exploratory factor analysis, all items loaded from 0.64 to 0.90 (Cronbach's alpha, 0.83-0.88). During exploratory factor analysis, all factor loadings ranged from 0.84 to 0.93. As an assessment tool, the PPLI is valid and reliable for perceived physical literacy among educational/sports college students. Our study observed that sports college students possess a relatively comprehensive range of perceptual PL phenomena. The affordances of the sport environment given maybe are not a sufficient condition for perceiving PL, and maybe not a necessary one.
