Abstract:
Dancing is a popular form of physical exercise. Researches have shown
that dancing can increase self-esteem and improve our mind and body
to become more productive. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of "Galaw Pilipinas" calisthenics exercise on the motivation of students as they go back to face-to-face classes. The sample for this study
is composed of 16 female and 15 male Senior High School students of a
public national high school in Marikina City. Senior High School students' pretest results; mean score was 87.52, the standard deviation
was 4.67 and the standard error mean was 0.84. While the Senior High
School students' posttest results; mean score was 95.87, the standard
deviation was 3.24 and the standard error mean was 1.96. A paired
samples t-test was conducted to evaluate the impact of the Galaw ng
Pilipinas dance routine on student motivation. The results showed a
significant increase in the marks of the students’ pretest (M = 87.52, SD
=4.67 to posttest (M = 95.87, SD = 3.24), t = 9.1399, n = 31, p= .0001
which is less than 0.05 (two-tailed). By conventional criteria, this difference is considered to be statistically significant. Hence, the dance
routine greatly affects the increase in motivation of the students.
