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

Teaching outside your field of expertise means handling a subject you are not trained in or familiar with. This study presents the experiences of teachers assigned to teach subjects outside their area of specialization, focusing on their motivation and development. The study explores the impact of teaching outside their specialization on a teacher's development and motivation. Through a qualitative phenomenology approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with preselected Senior High school teachers in a private educational institution located in Guagua, Pampanga, the Philippines, teaching subjects that are not their field of expertise and fit the researcher’s established criteria. The complexity of teaching outside one’s specialization and how educators adapt to these demands. The study uncovers opportunities for professional growth. For some, the experience fostered resilience and broadened their perspectives, enabling them to become more versatile educators. Positive student responses give them a sense of fulfillment despite all the challenges. According to results, out-of-specialized-field teaching presents new challenges, but it helps show their adaptability, and resourcefulness and unlock more creative teaching strategies with the purpose of providing quality education. By focusing on the lived experiences of teachers, teachers should recognize teaching outside their specialization as a valuable opportunity for personal and professional growth, promoting a growth mindset that encourages embracing challenges.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore how social media and social platforms influenced the mainstreaming of gay vernacular and its impact on cultural expression and identity. This qualitative research paper utilized a phenomenological approach to know the experiences and perspectives of both the heterosexual and homosexual participants in the municipality in region 3. Through thematic analysis of focus group discussions, the findings revealed that social media platforms have significantly contributed to the normalization and acceptance of gay language. Along with the growing acceptance within the gay community, several issues also arose, such as misinterpretation and cultural appropriation.  The challenges highlighted the need to further study and understand the gay language, as well as the importance of cultural sensitivity in using it. Despite these challenges, the integration of gay vernacular into everyday language enhanced the visibility and acceptance of LGBTQ+ identities. The findings of this study enabled the researchers to create a community language-based framework or the ACCLA Framework. Researchers can use this framework to further strengthen their study. This phenomenon underscored the relationship between language, culture, and identity. This research has served as evidence of the transformative power of language and its ability to promote inclusivity and foster understanding within the community.
