Navigating Excellence in Philippine Tertiary Physical Education: Insights and Suggestions of Grassroots Teachers Towards an Improved PATH-Fit Implementation
No full textThis research investigates the insights and suggestions of teachers in implementing the reformed Physical Education (PE) program in the Philippine Higher Education Institutions (HEI) called "Physical Activity Towards Health and Fitness" (PATH-Fit). Employing a qualitative descriptiveapproach, 14 participants were purposefully selected as the primary source of data. The main data-gathering tool was a series of in-depth interviews complemented by expert-validated guide questions. The study revealed six essential themes: the demand for continuous retooling activities, the prioritization of facilities and equipment, the amplification of PE’s significance, the call to reduce paper and pen activities, the importance of seniors’ support and guidance, and the need for clear learning references. These themes underscore the complex opportunities in implementing PATH-Fit, and it suggest that investing in continuous professional development, optimizing learningenvironments, and refining teaching approaches are crucial for the success of PE in higher education. The findings of this study contribute to an understanding of PATH-Fit implementation, which has implications for educators, administrators, and policymakers seeking to enhance the quality and effectiveness of PE in higher education programs in the country
Back to in-person classes in the Philippine basic education: threading the opportunities and limitations in the teaching of Physical Education
No full textTwo years after face-to-face classes were suspended in the Philippines due to the threat of COVID-19, the Department of Education is implementing the progressive expansion of limited in-person learning. More schools are expected to hold limited face-to-face classes as the government revises its School Safety Assessment Tool, which has streamlined the requirements for the conduct of in-person class sessions. With the push to get education back into schools, it is essential to look into the opportunities and limitations in teaching Physical Education. Using a qualitative descriptive phenomenological research design, 34 Physical Education Teachers teaching in the Philippine Basic Education took part in several in-depth interviews. During the triangulation of results, seven important themes on teachers’ concerns came up: Students are demotivated to go to face-to-face classes, students are misbehaving and doing inappropriate learning actions, classroom settings need to be modified to follow standard health protocols, teaching strategies and learning activities need to be retrofitted, teachers' and students' performances are affected by the protective gear they have to wear all the time, and there is a worry that COVID may surge again. Based on these results, the government should look into these factors because these will have a significant effect on the implementation of face-to-face classes in the Philippines. The results of this study were used to come up with valuable conclusions and suggestions.Dos años después de que se suspendieran las clases presenciales en Filipinas debido a la amenaza del COVID-19, el Departamento de Educación está implementando la expansión progresiva del aprendizaje presencial limitado. Se espera que más escuelas realicen clases presenciales limitadas a medida que el gobierno revisa su Herramienta de evaluación de seguridad escolar, que ha simplificado los requisitos para la realización de sesiones de clases presenciales. Con el impulso de devolver la educación a las escuelas, es importante analizar las oportunidades y los límites de la enseñanza de la Educación Física. Utilizando un diseño de investigación cualitativo fenomenológico, 34 profesores de Educación Básica de Filipinas participaron en varias entrevistas en profundidad. Durante la triangulación de resultados, surgieron siete temas importantes sobre lo que preocupa a los docentes: los estudiantes están desmotivados para asistir a clases presenciales, los estudiantes se están portando mal y están realizando malas acciones de aprendizaje, los entornos de las aulas deben modificarse para seguir los protocolos de salud estándar. , las estrategias de enseñanza y las actividades de aprendizaje deben adaptarse, el rendimiento de los maestros y los estudiantes se ve afectado por el equipo de protección que tienen que usar todo el tiempo, y existe la preocupación de que COVID pueda surgir nuevamente. Con base en estos resultados, el gobierno debería analizar estos factores porque tendrán un gran efecto en la implementación de clases presenciales en Filipinas. Los resultados de este estudio se utilizaron para llegar a conclusiones y sugerencias útiles
Experiences, Motivation, Commitment, and Suggestions of Physical Education Teachers Amidst COVID-19 Crisis
Full text linkCOVID-19 salgınının zirve yaptığı dönemde, öğretmen ve yöneticiler bu durumun aniden ortaya çıkması karşısında hazırlıksız yakalandı ve acil uzaktan eğitim sistemlerini acilen kurmak zorunda kaldı. Çeşitli literatürde tespit edilen sorunlarla birlikte bu araştırma, öğretmenlerin pandemi döneminde beden eğitimi uygularkenki deneyimlerini, motivasyonlarını, bağlılıklarını ve önerilerini ortaya çıkarmak için yapıldı. Niteliksel tanımlayıcı bir araştırma tasarımı kullanan bu çalışma, derinlemesine görüşmeler kullanarak Filipinler\u27in Cotabato Eyaletindeki seçilmiş okullardan yirmi kıdemli lise öğretmeninin deneyimlerini daha derinlemesine araştırdı. Sonuçların üçgenlenmesi sırasında bu çalışma, öğrenciler için sınırlı kaynakların ve öğretmenler arasındaki teknolojik boşlukların kaliteli öğrenmeye engel teşkil ettiğini tespit etti. Ancak öğretmenler, uzaktan eğitimi kolaylaştırmak için yeni beceriler edinme ve yenilikçi teknolojik stratejiler benimseme konusunda iyimserlik gösterdi. Meslektaşlarla işbirliğine dayalı çabalar problem çözmede etkili oldu ve öğretmenler olumsuz deneyimlerini kişisel ve mesleki gelişim için fırsatlar olarak gördüler. Bulgular daha sonra Filipin lise müfredatında beden eğitiminin daha iyi uygulanmasına yönelik sonuçlar ve öneriler geliştirmek için kullanıldı.At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers and administrators were caught off guard by the suddenness of this situation and were obliged to construct emergency remote learning systems immediately. With the problems identified in various literature, this research was conducted to elicit teachers\u27 experiences, motivation, commitment, and suggestions as they implement physical education amidst the pandemic. Using a qualitative descriptive research design, this study delved deeper into the experiences of twenty senior high school teachers from selected schools in Cotabato Province in the Philippines using in-depth interviews. During the triangulation of results, this study identified that limited resources for students and technological gaps among teachers posed obstacles to quality learning. However, teachers demonstrated optimism in acquiring new skills and adapting innovative technological strategies to facilitate distance education. Collaborative efforts with colleagues proved instrumental in problem-solving, and teachers viewed their negative experiences as opportunities for personal and professional growth. The findings were then used to develop conclusions and recommendations for better implementing physical education in the Philippine senior high school curriculum
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Descenso de interés: las razones desmotivadoras de los estudiantes de la Generación Z sobre la aversión gradual a los deportes y la recreación
Full text linkGen Zs are different from older generations because they are the first consumers to have grown up wholly in the digital era. They\u27re tech-savvy and mobile-first—and they have high standards for how they spend their time online. Scholars have identified a decreasing involvement of Gen Zs in sports and recreation. This problem was worsened by the huge influence of social media and other platforms, which made them get distracted and lose interest in sports and recreation. Some scholars revealed few explanations on this problem; however, there is no concrete evidence scrutinizing the reasons behind this phenomenon to the generation z students. Hence, this study was conducted primarily to investigate the demotivating reasons of generation z students\u27 gradual dislike of sports and recreation. Using a phenomenology approach, gen zs in Southern Philippines who are identified as not interested in sports and recreation served as primary participants of this study. The triangulation of results revealed six significant concerns from research participants. These include the inadequate childhood exposure to sports and recreation, influence of technological advancements, reduced physical interaction due to the pandemic, and health difficulties. The data were then used to generate conclusions and recommendations to help generation z students boost their interests to participate in sports and recreational activities.Los Gen Z son diferentes de las generaciones anteriores porque son los primeros consumidores que crecieron completamente en la era digital. Son expertos en tecnología y primero en dispositivos móviles, y tienen altos estándares sobre cómo pasan su tiempo en línea. Los académicos han identificado una participación decreciente de la Generación Z en los deportes y la recreación. Este problema se vio agravado por la enorme influencia de las redes sociales y otras plataformas, que les hizo distraerse y perder interés en los deportes y la recreación. Algunos estudiosos revelaron pocas explicaciones sobre este problema; sin embargo, no existe evidencia concreta que escrute las razones detrás de este fenómeno para los estudiantes de la generación z. Por lo tanto, este estudio se realizó principalmente para investigar las razones desmotivadoras de la aversión gradual de los estudiantes de la generación z hacia los deportes y la recreación. Utilizando un enfoque fenomenológico, las personas de la generación z en el sur de Filipinas que se identificaron como no interesadas en los deportes y la recreación sirvieron como participantes principales de este estudio. La triangulación de los resultados reveló seis preocupaciones importantes de los participantes de la investigación. Estos incluyen la exposición infantil inadecuada a los deportes y la recreación, la influencia de los avances tecnológicos, la interacción física reducida debido a la pandemia y las dificultades de salud. Luego, los datos se usaron para generar conclusiones y recomendaciones para ayudar a los estudiantes de la generación z a impulsar sus intereses para participar en deportes y actividades recreativas
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Sondeo fenomenológico sobre las experiencias de los maestros de secundaria superior en la enseñanza de deportes de atletismo durante los años de transición de Filipinas K a 12
Full text linkThe Philippine education system is currently under transition due to the implementation of Republic Act 10533, also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act. Since its enactment in 2013, physical education researchers have been examining the initial impact of this transition. Yet, investigations to determine teachers\u27 challenges in the sports Track Program of the senior high school curriculum were barely sufficient. Hence, this research was conducted to probe the challenges of these teachers using a qualitative phenomenology research design. Research participants from selected schools in the Cotabato Province in the Philippines were involved in focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and extensive field observation. Six significant concerns from the research participants transpired; these are difficulties with online learning, mismatched of students’ interests; unrealistic curriculum; inadequate facilities; overloaded teaching loads; and struggles of non-physical education graduates. The findings then served as crucial elements in drawing conclusions and recommendations to better implement the sports track program in the Philippine senior high school curriculum.El sistema educativo filipino se encuentra actualmente en transición debido a la implementación de la Ley de la República 10533, también conocida como Ley de Educación Básica Mejorada. Desde su promulgación en 2013, los investigadores de educación física han estado examinando el impacto inicial de esta transición. Sin embargo, las investigaciones para determinar los desafíos de los profesores en el Programa de Pista deportiva del plan de estudios de la escuela secundaria superior fueron escasamente suficientes. Por lo tanto, esta investigación se llevó a cabo para sondear los desafíos de estos profesores utilizando un diseño de investigación de fenomenología cualitativa. Los participantes de la investigación de escuelas seleccionadas en la provincia de Cotabato en Filipinas participaron en discusiones de grupos focales, entrevistas en profundidad y una extensa observación de campo. Transcurrieron seis preocupaciones significativas de los participantes de la investigación; estos son: dificultades con el aprendizaje en línea; desajuste de los intereses de los estudiantes; plan de estudios poco realista; instalaciones inadecuadas; cargas de enseñanza sobrecargadas; y luchas de los no graduados en educación física. Luego, los hallazgos sirvieron como elementos cruciales para sacar conclusiones y recomendaciones para implementar mejor el programa de atletismo deportivo en el plan de estudios de la escuela secundaria superior de Filipinas
Gen Z’s Fitness Concepts and Ways to be Fit: Insights to Strengthen Students’ Learning Experiences in Tertiary Physical Education
Full text linkBeing dubbed as digital natives born and raised in the highly industrial era, generation z students
differ from previous generations. A recent study revealed an increasing number of dropped-out
students in physical education classes in one of the leading State Universities in the Philippines.
Several reasons have been revealed, and one of those is the current tertiary physical education
curriculum content. Hence, this study aimed to determine the fitness concepts and ways to stay fit of
generation Z students and utilize in enhancing the curriculum content and improve the students’
learning experiences in tertiary physical education. Using the descriptive phenomenology research
design, 95 research participants took part in focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and
unobtrusive participant observations. The findings of this inquiry indicated three (3) reasons why
generation Z students still perceive physical education as an essential course in schools (gadget
addiction; early childhood diseases; and stress release) and six (6) ways to stay healthy (exercise and
physical activities; balanced diet; enough sleep/rest; self-discipline; and use of technology to promote
fitness). The findings and conclusions served as critical components in strengthening the tertiary
physical education curriculum to tailor the learning experiences to generation Z students' concepts,
ways, and preferences
