Abstract

Physical activity has captured considerable interest from international academic scholars due to its fundamental role in maintaining optimal health. Thus, this study sought to examine the scholarly articles on school-based physical activity, employing a comprehensive bibliometric analysis extracted from the Scopus database spanning 2013 to 2023. A filtering protocol was utilized to guide the selection of articles, and analyses were facilitated solely by Python programming. This research yielded extensive insights encompassing document type, publication rates, citation rates, prevalent keywords, and geographic distribution. The results revealed the prominence of "Articles" as the primary document category. Notably, the year 2020 was observed as the highest publication count, with 2014 being the peak year for citation rates. However, both publication and citation patterns exhibited substantial fluctuations. These analyses collectively identify the United States as the largest contributor among the top ten countries, accompanied by substantial contributions from European nations. The analysis of the top 50 most-cited journal articles indicates a prevalence of articles authored by one to five individuals, with a peak in publications during 2014, followed by a gradual decline. Notably, the keyword "children" prominently emerges across the datasets, underscoring its frequent utilization in the context of school-based physical activity research.

Abstract

The introduction of Philippine folk dance (PFD) has been a very challenging pursuit by many physical educators in the Philippines. Thus, a continuous exploration of potential instruction powered by digital technologies is currently being explored. Hence, this study employed iSAYAW - a web-based system teaching-learning material for teaching PFD. This study utilized a quantitative action research approach, employing a one-group pre-test and post-test inquiry. A 50-item researcher-made test was administered to assess students' conceptual understanding of Philippine folk dance before and after the intervention. A class of 45 students was identified to gain the lowest mean score during the pre-test, which was the reason for the four-week implementation of iSAYAW. After the intervention, it was found that the post-test scores showed a notable increase compared to pre-test scores, indicating that the web-based learning material effectively enhanced students' conceptual understanding of PFD and contributed to their learning of the concepts. Hence, it was revealed that students' experiences were enjoyable and that using the app was helpful for independent learning. It led them to improve their scores as it offers lessons that the teachers are not teaching sometimes. In contrast, this application mitigates the learning process of the PFD concepts. However, students faced challenges, particularly with their internet connection limiting their learning experience with the application. Hence, it is recommended that students explore iSAYAW, expand its content, extend usage duration, include multiple grade levels, and promote cultural heritage to enhance learning and appreciation of Philippine folk dance.
