This study aims to analyze the level of interest of students at SMKN 7 Kota Malang in the subject of Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK). Student interest is a crucial factor in the effectiveness of learning and the achievement of educational goals. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method. The population consists of students at SMKN 7 Kota Malang, with a randomly selected sample of 185 respondents. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 15 statements regarding students’ perceptions and interest in PJOK. Descriptive analysis results show that the majority of students have a high interest in PJOK. The percentage of respondents who feel enthusiastic when attending PJOK classes reached 72.4%, and 63.8% said PJOK makes them more motivated to come to school. In addition, 55.1% agreed and 42.2% strongly agreed that PJOK is beneficial for their health and fitness. A total of 76.8% of students also felt comfortable with the teaching methods used. However, variations in interest were found in several aspects, such as 27% of respondents not looking forward to PJOK lessons, and 42.2% not preferring PJOK over other subjects. Opinions regarding the addition of PJOK class hours were also divided, with 36.2% disagreeing and 7.6% strongly disagreeing. The implications of this study suggest the need for developing more varied and inclusive PJOK learning strategies to maintain and enhance student interest, especially for those who are not fully engaged or lack confidence. The results of this research can serve as a basis for teachers and school administrators in designing more adaptive and engaging PJOK programs.
