<p>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.</p>
