Abstract

This study explored the activity preferences of Generation Z (Gen Z) students in rural communities to enhance the implementation of the Philippine physical activity towards health and fitness (PATH-Fit) program. Utilizing a qualitative-ethnographic approach, insights were obtained from 20 selected Gen Z students through expert-validated open-ended questions. The findings highlighted seven key preferences: lessen the lectures, holistic activities, sports and physical activities, comfort, accessibility, and convenience, community and outdoor activities, activities to deviate from technology, and activities that do not add stress. The study revealed that Gen Z students in rural areas prefer PATH-Fit activities that are engaging, diverse, and supportive of their overall well-being. They favor fewer lectures to allow for more interactive learning experiences that integrate social, mental, and emotional aspects alongside physical activities. Additionally, they seek activities that are comfortable, accessible, and convenient, valuing easy access and minimal hassle. Community engagement and outdoor experiences are also crucial to them, as are opportunities to disconnect from technology and avoid stress. These preferences emphasize the need for a well-rounded and adaptable approach to physical education (PE) that aligns with Gen Z students’ diverse needs and well-being in rural communities.

Abstract

This study explored the experiences of Generation Z (Gen Z) students from rural communities in the PATH-Fit 1 course (movement competency training) to identify ways to improve the Philippine Physical Activity Toward Health and Fitness (PATH-Fit) program. A qualitative-descriptive approach was used, with 20 students carefully selected for interviews. Open-ended questions, validated by experts, were used to gather detailed insights into the students’ thoughts and experiences. The findings revealed that students enjoyed the engaging activities, the focus on overall well-being, and the supportive nature of their teachers in PATH-Fit 1. However, they also found the course physically exhausting and too demanding, which led to frustration. Additionally, students expressed concerns about teacher absenteeism and the ineffectiveness of online classes, which negatively impacted their learning experience. These issues highlighted areas where the program could be improved to better meet the needs of rural Gen Z students. By addressing these concerns, the PATH-Fit program can be more effectively tailored to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes, ultimately providing a more positive and fulfilling educational experience for Gen Z learners in rural communities.

Abstract

This study investigates pre-service teachers’ readiness to implement adapted physical education (APE) in mainstream classrooms, focusing on essential competencies such as knowledge, adaptability, empathy, communication, safety awareness, assessment, and resilience. Utilizing a quantitative research design, specifically a correlational approach, the study engaged 112 respondents selected through simple random sampling from a leading state university in Southern Philippines. Data were collected using a researcher-made survey questionnaire that underwent pilot testing and reliability assessment. The analysis employed mean and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient to explore the relationships among the different dimensions of readiness. The findings reveal that pre-service teachers are moderately ready to implement APE, with significant interrelationships identified among all competency areas. These results indicate a need for comprehensive teacher training programs that emphasize the interconnected nature of these competencies, suggesting that improvement in one area could enhance readiness across others. The study concludes that a holistic approach in teacher preparation is essential for developing competent educators capable of promoting equitable participation in physical education (PE) for all students, ultimately enhancing the quality of APE in mainstream settings.
