Abstract
The study examined the effectiveness of SPECTRA (Stimulating Physical Education through Creative Teaching, Rhythms, and Arts) as supplemental material in Physical Education. Its primary objectives were to assess the level of the components and characteristics of SPECTRA. Additionally, the research aimed to gauge the level of student engagement and performance of students. Lastly, the study aimed to determine the significant effect of using SPECTRA as a supplemental material on both student engagement and performance in Physical Education.
A descriptive method was employed with one hundred twenty-three (123) Grade 9 learners of Liliw National High School in the school year 2023-2024. Research instruments included validated modules and a survey-questionnaire. The statistical tools used were mean, standard deviation and regression analysis. Based on this process, the researcher identified the following findings.
The results indicated that respondents rated the level of the component of SPECTRA in terms of introduction, development, engagement, and assimilation as "very high." Additionally, the characteristics of SPECTRA, such as accuracy, organization, and design, were also rated "very high" by the respondents. Furthermore, student engagement, including enthusiasm in class, completion of activities, and interaction with classmates, was rated as "very high”. In terms of student performance, written test scores improved from formative to summative assessments, with students moving from Fair to Outstanding categories, highlighting SPECTRA's positive effect on student achievement. For practical tests, students received "advanced" ratings in execution and technique, performance presence, and dance etiquette for both Cha-cha and Waltz, while their creativity and style were rated as "proficient."
The study revealed that the majority of components and characteristics of SPECTRA did not significantly affect student engagement except on introduction and design respectively. Additionally, only engagement and design significantly affected student performance in written tests, while most components and characteristics of SPECTRA did not show a positive effect. Moreover, none of the components or characteristics of SPECTRA significantly affect student performance in practical tests. Based on these findings, it was concluded that SPECTRA has no significant effect on student engagement and performance in Physical Education. Therefore, both hypotheses were accepted.
Recommendations emphasize prioritizing structured introductions and optimizing the design of instructional materials to enhance student engagement and performance. Physical Education teachers should receive support and training in innovative instructional materials, while school administrators should advocate for curriculum integration of module-based learning in P.E. Other researchers are encouraged to explore and validate similar approaches in diverse educational settings to optimize dance education outcomes.
