Google Classroom is practical for teachers and students as it makes the teaching and learning process more manageable. It is one of the practical pedagogical tools used by various higher educational institutions, as supported by previous studies. In line with this, the study is focused on exploring the factors that affect students’ acceptance of Google Classroom as an effective tool in learning Physical Education, adapting the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). After obtaining data from 1,916 students currently taking minor PE in an online setting at City College of Angeles and after performing Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the results revealed that students perceived ease of use positively predict their perceived usefulness of the LMS. Moreover, perceived ease of use positively influences students’ behavioral intention to use. Also, the students’ perceived usefulness increases behavioral intention to use Google Classroom in learning PE. Lastly, behavioral intent to use leverages students’ actual use of the educational platform. The findings of this study help the academic council and higher administration to decide if the said LMS can continuously be used as the college is still in a full-online learning modality. Recommendations and future research directions are also presented.

Students' perception is critical because it provides essential information about the current benefits and challenges they are experiencing in the distance and online education setting. This study explores students' perception of physical education regarding the current educational environment in respect to gender, family accommodation, income, gadget, and source of internet connection. 262 1st year students taking minor PE are the participants in this study. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage were utilized to describe the demographic characteristics of the respondents. At the same time, mean and standard deviation were used to describe students' attitudes towards distance and online education. Also, One-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis H were utilized to determine the significant difference between groups regarding their perspective in the current educational setting. Based on the results, a statistically significant difference was found between groups concerning family accommodation. On the other hand, no difference was observed between groups of gender, income, gadget, and source of internet connection. In summary, most of the students positively perceived this current setting as beneficial to them. However, there are still challenges that pose threats to this current system. In this regard, the recommendation to address the challenges observed based on study findings and recommendations for future research is a result of this.

It is a sampling technique where the researcher deliberately chooses participants for the study due to the qualities the participants possess (Lobo et al, 2022). Since this study focuses on leadership styles and commitment of choreographers and student dancers; thus, this technique was used.…”

There have been numerous studies that were already conducted concerning the relationship between styles of leadership and commitment from various disciplines; however, there are only a few to no investigations performed regards to dance space. This present study aimed to determine the relationship between the leadership styles of choreographers and the commitment of student dancers from various Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) on the entire island of Luzon in the Philippines. The gathering of data has been conducted via an online survey using LSQ and OCQ to 105 choreographers and 228 student dancers. The findings revealed that most of the choreographers apply the democratic leadership style; while the commitment level of student dancers is moderately high. Moreover, no relationship between the leadership style and commitment was observed which accepted the null hypothesis tested for this study. Based on the yielded results, leadership and management development programs are recommended to choreographers for them to be educated on what appropriate and effective leadership style they can practice, to heighten commitment and improve their relationship with student dancers. Additionally, programs to intensify the commitment of student dancers are highly suggested. Conducting a similar study is highly recommended to support or refute the findings of this research.
