The positive effect of dance engagement on the psychological well-being of individuals has been consistently established based on previously conducted studies. On the other side, no evidence was found in the moderating and mediating role of motivation in the relationship between the two variables. As a solution, this study is focused on determining the moderating and mediating role of dance motivation to dance engagement and psychological well-being. This study has adopted three questionnaires, namely: Dance Motivation Questionnaire (DMQ), the Sports Engagement Scale (SPS), and Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWS). Additionally, Partial Least-Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS4 was performed to analyze the data. Analysis based on factor loading, average variance extracted (AVE), Fornell-Larcker Criterion, Cross loading, and HTMT were performed to establish the reliability and validity of the questionnaires (convergent and discriminant). After surveying 117 students taking Bachelor of Performing Arts at City College of Angeles, dance engagement positively effects students’ psychological well-being, which is consistent based on previously conducted studies. On the other hand, motivation has no moderating and mediating role in the relationship between the two variables. The study highly suggests conducting a similar study to support or refute the claim of this investigation.
Background and Study Aim. College students’ activity levels are considerably affected by mobile gaming, according to multiple studies. There have, however, been no studies done to date comparing gamers and non-gamers in terms of their levels of endurance. This present study employed beep and 3-minute step tests to compare mobile gamers’ and non-gamers endurance levels. In addition, the difference between demographic variables such as age, gender, and BMI and participants’ aerobic capacity is a major area of study. Material and Methods. Students at the City College of Angeles in the Philippines were selected using the Judgement Sampling Technique to take part in the research. Students who participated in the study are enrolled in the 1st Semester of the Academic year 2022-2023. A survey questionnaire consisting of four sections were utilized to obtain information from the respondents. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and an endurance test are all part of the personal profile. Both the beep test and the 3-minute step test were administered to the participants. Results from the participants’ personal profiles, BMIs, and endurance tests were summarized using descriptive statistics like frequency (f) and percentage (%). The Paired T-Test was also used to find out if there was a significant difference in the participants’ endurance between mobile gamers and non-gamers. Finally, the individuals’ age, gender, and Body Mass Index (BMI) were validated with their endurance levels by performing Independent Samples T-Test and One-way ANOVA. Results. Beep and 3-minute step tests showed that gamers and non-gamers have very different levels of endurance, with the latter group displaying much more stamina than the former. It was also shown that among the three factors studied, gender was the only one with a relationship to endurance. Conclusions. The study did not take into account factors like health history including nutrition, diet, sleep pattern, lifestyle, health issues, and endurance level on other types of measures. Conducting an inquiry similar to the one that was done, but also taking into account the other variables indicated, is a highly suggested course. Several findings are established, and numerous suggestions for further research, as well as policy and educational applications, are provided.
This study is focused to solicit recommendations from the selected professionals from the field of Physical Education based on their assessment of the prospectus through its courses’ contents. The said evaluation was performed after the 1st dialogue organized by the Physical Education department of the City College of Angeles via Zoom meetings. The respondents answered a rubric, and open-ended questions to gather their comments and suggestions. Mean and Standard Deviation were used to describe the assessment of the professionals and thematic analysis for the comments and suggestions concerning the courses’ contents. The findings based on the assessment of the curriculum through its courses’ contents are hereby presented. Lastly, themes that emerged after the thematic analysis are (1) the Redundancy of topics and (2) the addition of other related topics relevant to the course. In this, a revisitation of the prospectus, especially the contents being offered for each course is highly suggested.
