Abstract : Sport has always played a special role in society today. Sports offer a perfect opportunity to explore different concepts in English, Environmental Studies (EVS) and Mathematics. So this study focus on how English, Environmental studies and Mathematics can be learned through sports pedagogy. The objective for this study is to assess the learning outcomes based on knowledge about the sports and to assess whether there is any relation on teaching the concept in English, Environmental Studies and Mathematics with that of sport activities. The data is collected from 32 first year trainee of DIET, Mon, Nagaland. A paired sample t-test was performed to test the significance based on Likert scale. The results reveals that mean value in the post test for positive response is higher than the pre test while the standard deviation in the post test is less (8.17) compared to the pre test (25.53). The positive values between the pre and post test shows that they are negatively correlated between them (-010) significant at 95%. The mean value in the pre- test for negative response is higher (12.86) than the post test (4.00) while the standard deviation in the post test is less (5.12) compared to the pre test (8.83). The positive vales between the pre and post test shows that they are positively correlated between them (.060) significant at 95%. Hence, there is a positive change in learning outcomes based on this study.

Keywords : Sport, Mean, Significant, Pre-Test, Post Test.
