Contextualized Offline Video Dance (CODIV) Instruction: Its Effects to The Folk Dance Mastery Performance of The Grade 8 Students in The New Normal

Abstract

The physical education subject is one of the academic subjects which was challenged in this time of pandemic since no face-to-face interactions are allowed which then gave a great endeavor among teachers to accommodate learning in this field thus this study came into being, to assess the effectiveness of the Contextualized Offline Video Dance (COVID) Instruction on the performance of Grade 8 students in Physical education at Cauayan City Science and Technology High School. This study used the experimental research design to elicit data on the effectiveness of the intervention among the 34 students which was equally and randomly assigned into experimental and control group. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of the scores of the participants and the paired t-test was also utilized in determining the effectiveness of the intervention at the level of 0.05 and the Cohens- d test was also used to determine the effect size of the said intervention. The results demonstrate that there is a rise in the scores of the children in the experimental group before and after the intervention, as well as a significant difference in the experimental group's pre and post test scores (p= 0.05). Further research reveals that the lure has a substantial effect of the intervention on the experimental group, as indicated by the Cohens-d result of 0.59. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that the COVID initiative is beneficial in improving the academic performance of grade 8 students in Physical Education. As a result, this study suggests that widespread distribution efforts be undertaken, and that the use of this intervention be strongly promoted.  This study therefore recommends that wide dissemination shoo ups be done and utilization of this intervention is highly encouraged. A similar study should ask so be conducted in a wider perspective.
