This research and development project designed, developed, and evaluated a PATHFIT Info Card instructional prototype intended to enhance teaching and learning in the Physical Activities Towards Health and Fitness (PATHFIT) 1 course. The prototype was conceptualized as a compact, foldable, infographic-based instructional material that consolidates course orientation, fitness concepts, movement principles, kinesiology, training principles, nutrition guides, performance rubrics, injury-response reminders, goal-setting templates, and QR-linked supplementary resources. The study used a development-and-evaluation approach anchored on instructional design, multimedia learning, and constructivist principles. The prototype was evaluated by selected Physical Education faculty experts using face validity, quality checking, and structured feedback focusing on content quality and accuracy, clarity and organization, visual design and infographic quality, pedagogical effectiveness, usability and functionality, alignment with learning objectives, and overall face validity. Results showed that the PATHFIT Info Card obtained consistently high expert ratings, with most domains interpreted as Very Good and the domains on pedagogical effectiveness and face validity interpreted as Excellent. Validators affirmed that the material was accurate, relevant, visually engaging, portable, easy to use, aligned with PATHFIT competencies, and useful as a teaching aid and student reference. The study concludes that the PATHFIT Info Card is a highly acceptable instructional innovation that can support student-centered learning, instructional clarity, engagement, and quick-reference learning in PATHFIT education. Recommendations emphasize pilot classroom implementation, student-based evaluation, revision through wider expert review, and possible adaptation for other Physical Education courses.
