The study, in which phenomenology design was adopted, involved eight PETE student (four female and four male) who attended a fifteen-week sports education season, including at least one participant from each role taken on during the season. Focus group interviews were utilized for data gathering within the scope of the study, and content analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings obtained from the study were organized under three themes: (i) the differences of the SEM from traditional teaching, (ii) the effect of SEM the acquisition of knowledge and skills, and (iii) the effect of SEM on motivation. Based on the opinions of PETE students, it was determined that the roles taken on throughout the season enhanced attendance in the lesson, imposed responsibility, promoted socialization, and contributed to more effective and holistic learning of the sports branch. In addition, it was concluded that the responsibilities undertaken in the season, competition between teams, seasonal feature of the model and awards were effective in terms of motivation. In accordance with the results obtained from the study, it was revealed that PETE students’ opinions regarding the model were favorable.
