Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of media literacy on the e-learning intention of undergraduate students in sports science with the mediating role of spatial intelligence in 2025. Methodology: This field research was a descriptive-correlational study and applied in terms of purpose. Research population included 326 students of sports science at Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman. Based on sample determination formula of structural equation modeling (5q≤ n≤ 15q), 102 students were studied using the purposive sampling. The intention to e-learning was measured by adapting Lee (2010) questionnaire, media literacy was measured by the Koc and Barut (2016) questionnaire, and spatial intelligence was measured by Tirri and Nokelainen (2008) questionnaire. For descriptive and inferential analysis, SPSS version 20 and PLS version 3 software were used. Results: The results showed that media literacy had a significant effect on both the tendency to e-learning intention (β=0.28) and spatial intelligence (β=0.31). The effect of spatial intelligence on intention to e-learning was also reported to be positive and significant (β=0.33). According to the Sobel test, media literacy had an effect on the e-learning intention of students through spatial intelligence. The value of the GOF index also indicated a favorable fit of the research model.Conclusion: Given the increasing trend towards new teaching methods, the results can carry valuable messages for instructors, administrators, and policymakers in the field of sports science education. The findings indicate that media literacy, along with enhancing spatial intelligence, can provide the basis for sports science students' tendency towards e-learning.

The study's statistical population included experts in sports and culture, and according to the nature of the research, 14 experts were interviewed as the research participants through purposive sampling until reaching theoretical saturation. The tool used in the research was a semi-structured interview. The intra-subject agreement method was used to ensure the reliability of the findings. Also, the criterion of reliability or trustworthiness, which includes four separate but related criteria, including credibility, reliability, transferability, and confirmability, was used to evaluate the quality of qualitative results.
Results: Braun and Clarke's (2006) method of thematic analysis extracted 82 codes, 11 sub-themes, and four main themes. The findings revealed that the requirements for intercultural management in a sports setting included "cultural factors," "effective relationships and interactions," "ethical considerations," and "flexibility."
