Abstract

This study investigated the local interests of Generation Z (Gen Z) students in rural communities to strengthen the delivery of the Philippine physical activity towards health and fitness (PATH-Fit) program. Using a qualitative-ethnographic approach, insights were gathered from 20 carefully selected Gen Z students through open-ended questions validated by experts. The findings revealed seven key areas of interest: i) social media, videos, and the internet; ii) something profitable; iii) e-games; iv) sports and physical activities; v) going out and exploring; vi) church, reflection, and music; and vii) rest and sleep. This study concludes that the local interests of Gen Z students in rural communities paint a comprehensive picture of a generation adeptly balancing the digital and physical realms of their lives. From the appeal of social media, online ventures, and e-games to the grounding effects of sports, nature exploration, and spiritual practices, these students demonstrate a flexible approach to well-being and personal growth. Their focus on profitable online activities reflects a pragmatic response to economic challenges, while their commitment to physical activities and outdoor exploration underscores the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Their emphasis on church, reflection, music, rest, and sleep also highlights a holistic understanding of mental and emotional health. Together, these interests reveal a resourceful, adaptive generation that is deeply aware of the need for balance in an increasingly complex world.

Abstract

This study aims to assess student engagement across several dimensions of the PATH-Fit program and explore the interrelationships among these dimensions to inform curriculum development and enhance students’ experience. Using a quantitative research design, precisely a descriptive correlation approach, the study employed a modified research instrument to measure various aspects of student engagement, including Interest and Motivation, Perceived Benefits, Teaching and Learning Environment, Assessment and Feedback, and Overall Satisfaction. A sample of 633 college students from Southern Philippines was selected using simple random sampling to ensure representative and unbiased data. The results reveal that students exhibit moderate engagement in the PATH-Fit program. Analysis shows significant relationships among all engagement variables, indicating that improvements in one area, such as the teaching and learning environment, can positively influence others, like interest and motivation. The interrelationships highlight the interconnectedness of engagement dimensions, suggesting that a holistic approach is necessary for enhancing overall student involvement. In conclusion, while the PATH-Fit program succeeds in capturing students' interest to some extent, there is considerable potential for increasing engagement. By addressing multiple dimensions of engagement simultaneously, the program can better meet students' needs and improve their overall satisfaction and involvement.
