Classroom-based health education programs are part of informational approaches for promoting physical activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 13-week Physical Activity and Public Health Course on stages of change for physical activity, perceptions of exercise benefits/barriers, and technology dependency of university students. The total number of participants was 61 students (Nexperimental group=31, Ncontrol group=30) from an urban public university. The pre-results showed that there was no significant effect of groups on two dependent variables Wilks’ λ = .98, F (2, 58) = .585, p > .05. In the main effect, The results showed that there was no significant effect of groups on exercise benefits/barriers in experimental (M=141.77, SD=17.30) and control group (M=138.77, SD=16.32) F (1, 59) = .487, p > .025 and there was no significant effect of groups on technology addiction in experimental (M=58.13, SD=17.22) and control group (M=54.77, SD=17.06) F (1, 59) = .587, p > .025. Regarding stages of change for physical activity, students in the experimental group located more in the action stage (n=15) than the control group (n= 10). In other words, students in the control group were more inactive (n= 20) than students in the experimental group (n= 16). When the posttests are completed, the effect of the physical activity and public health course on university students' stages of change for physical activity, perceptions of exercise benefits/barriers, and technology addiction will be revealed.
