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 study aimed to evaluate the implementation of the revitalized tertiary physical education program known as the Physical Activity towards Health and Fitness (PATHFit) of a state university in Pampanga, Philippines relative to the statutory standard of the Commission on Higher Education and UNESCO’s Quality Physical Education (QPE) Model. A Mixed Methods Sequential Explanatory Design was utilized involving faculty members (n = 24) and a stratified sample of second-year college students (n = 114). Instrumentations were drafted based on the provisions of two standards considered in the study. The quantitative phase revealed that both the internal stakeholders evaluated the standards of the CMO 39, s. 2021 and the QPE standards and found them to be extremely evident and extremely effective. Additionally, t-tests revealed that there was a significant difference in the evaluation of the respondents. Regression analysis further identified that all five dimensions of the QPE which are assessed in concreteness are significant predictors of program effectiveness. The qualitative phase explored the two dimensions as actualized by the university in terms of notable practices and challenges encountered. It was suggested that the university may institutionalize mechanisms to foster quality physical education standards as embedded in the curriculum development cycle's planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation protocols.

Abstract

The need to examine whether existing constructs in motives and barriers are still relevant in contemporary times is both a challenge and a trend in research concerning school physical activity. Ergo, this study sought to extrapolate Filipino pre-service physical educators' present-day motives and barriers to exercise, with a valid physical activity plan as the end in mind. A free-listing methodology was utilized to document the motives and barriers of the participants (N = 269) coded using the subscales of the Exercise Motivation Inventory (EMI-2) and Barriers to Physical Activity Scale, respectively. Motives and barriers not covered within the scales were initially coded as ‘other barriers’ and were subsequently coded in the light of existing literature. The subscales from the EMI-2 for coding the motives to exercise the PSPEs are still apparent in contemporary times which is led by ‘positive health’ and ‘appearance.’ Meanwhile, ‘lack of time’, ‘feeling too tired’, and ‘having an injury and/or disease’ are the three leading barriers for the respondents to exercise. Other motives and barriers were likewise reported in the study. A proposed physical activity plan was developed considering the results of the study, and inputs from the faculty implementers, and was validated by three expert physical educators using face validation. It is recommended that psychological and behavioral constructs such as motives and barriers be integrated into the planning, developing, implementing, and evaluating physical activity plans to foster healthy and active would-be physical educators.

Abstract

The approach utilized in the study is a scoping review typically employed to map existing literature on a specific topic that undergoes an in-depth analysis, focusing on concepts, gaps, and findings. This study aimed to examine the technologies integrated into PE curriculum implementation and their benefits and challenges in the educational process in the Philippines. Moreover, in the methodological process, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) framework are used to ensure the transparency and trustworthiness of the study. Three overarching themes were identified with the in-depth analysis of the literature selected. The first theme emphasized technology utilization in curriculum implementation in PE, which emphasizes integrated technologies and online education platforms. The second theme highlighted the benefits of technological integration in PE curriculum implementation, which has seen online learning and platforms as effective tools. Literature has stated that teachers, families, and the environment greatly impact the new learning modality. The third theme covered the challenges of technological integration in PE curriculum implementation, together with the resource and environmental challenges in online education. This also concerned components impacting teachers' and students' holistic development. Furthermore, this study found that from 2020 to 2024, online learning became a tool for continuous learning as an alternative to the COVID-19 pandemic. Institutions utilized various technologies for PE to support the curriculum implementation, as some foresaw the time as a learning experience and gained new skills, while others faced hindrances and challenges in these times.

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.

Abstract

Diversified development of educational strategies has been increasingly growing in the field of teacher education to address the challenges in residential-based learning brought by the virtual classroom setting. Necessarily, the application of game-based learning (GBL) is viewed to significantly contribute to complementing the students' learning deficiencies. Hence, this study was conducted to increase concept retention among pre-service physical educators (PSPEs) through a game-based assessment strategy called moneypoly game. This descriptive-qualitative collaborative action research study comprised 48 student-participants enrolled in the professional education course, “Curriculum and Assessment in Physical Education and Health Education for K to 12”, at a teacher education institution in Central Luzon, Philippines during the first semester of the academic year 2022-2023. Educational activities related to the moneypoly game were implemented multiple times during the face-to-face class sessions. Subsequently, open-ended reflective questionnaires were administered to obtain authentic and valid data to capture the increment of concept retention among the PSPEs. Adhering to Braun and Clarke’s Thematic Analysis technique, students’ responses were themed via qualitative analysis software powered by MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2022. Findings revealed three (3) emerging themes that helped learners retain long-term memory of the lessons' concepts. This includes (1) learners’ experiences in the moneypoly game that strengthen their concept retention, (2) contributing factors to students’ constant participation, and (3) significant recommendations to improve the game-based assessment strategy in the next cycle. These characteristics of the moneypoly game influenced the way that students learned and remembered information. This led to the perception that the intervention generated multiform driving forces for the learners' all-encompassing learning. The exploration and utilization of GBL could be applied to other areas of discipline to corroborate the findings made in this study.

Abstract

This study analyzed the vision and mission statements (VMS) of 117 Philippine state universities and colleges (SUCs) and compared them with 330 other ASEAN universities to identify thematic trends and institutional priorities. Using web scraping and K-means clustering, the study identified thematic clusters in VMS. Thematic trends through word frequency and collocation analyses provided further insights and a comparative analysis examined differences between Philippine SUCs and other ASEAN universities. Philippine SUCs’ vision statements formed three clusters: global competitiveness, premier recognition, and regional leadership in science and technology. Mission statements clustered into: mandated functions, global innovation, and advancement in the sciences. Philippine SUCs emphasized institutional prestige, workforce development, and sustainability while other ASEAN universities focus more on knowledge creation, student empowerment, and internationalization. Philippine SUCs aligned their VMS with national development and global ranking metrics and prioritizes institutional recognition and economic contributions more than the other ASEAN universities. Future studies should expand to more private institutions and international comparisons to assess broader higher education trends.

Abstract

This study examined the reflections of 142 preservice teachers who taught online during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study identified common themes, emotions, and patterns in their experiences using sentiment analysis and hierarchical clustering. The most frequently used words, such as “learn,” “experience,” and “time,” highlight themes of learning and action. Sentiment analysis shows that most of their reflections are positive, using words like “well,” “good,” and “great.” Hierarchical clustering revealed three main themes in their reflections: i) professional growth and development; ii) passion for teaching and connection; and iii) adaptability and resilience. These themes show the complex nature of their experiences. While focusing on personal and professional growth, a strong commitment to teaching, and adaptability in challenging situations was evidenced. The findings of this study will help create a policy brief addressing these themes. Recommendations include strategies for professional growth in online teaching, encouraging a love for teaching through online platforms, and improving teacher training programs to build adaptability and resilience. Policymakers and educators can use these insights to develop effective policies and practices that support preservice teachers in online teaching even during health crises or similar disruptions.
