“I was interested... until I realized we had to dance in front of everyone and possibly pull something” : social and injury fears as possible inhibitors of individual interest in movement-based art within the physical education context

Lobo, Joseph (author)

This study explored the associations between social fear and injury-related fear with individual interest in dance as a movement-based art within the Philippine physical education context. Using a cross-sectional design with 242 university students, multiple regression analyses revealed no statistically significant associations between either fear construct and the three factors of individual interest, as well as the composite score. The results suggest that students’ interest in expressive physical activities may remain intact despite emotional discomfort. Generalized fear constructs may be insufficient to capture the nuanced emotional landscape of dance-based learning, indicating a need for more context-specific emotional measures. By focusing on a culturally embedded art form in a Southeast Asian setting, this study contributes to the global discourse on interest development and affective engagement in physical education. Implications for future research and pedagogical design are addressed.

• Title: "Zanimalo me je ... dokler nisem ugotovil, da bomo morali plesati pred vsemi in se pri tem lahko celo poškodovali” : socialni strah in strah pred poškodbami kot mogoča inhibitorja posameznikovega interesa za gibalno umetnost v okviru športne vzgoje

Abstract

Raziskava je preučevala povezanost med socialnim strahom in strahom, povezanim s poškodbami, ter posameznikovim interesom za ples v smislu gibalne umetnosti v okviru filipinskega športno-vzgojnega konteksta. S presečnim raziskovalnim načrtom in vzorcem 242 univerzitetnih študentov je multipla regresijska analiza pokazala, da med obema konstruktoma strahu ter tremi dejavniki posameznikovega interesa, kakor tudi sestavljeno oceno, ni statistično pomembnih povezav. Rezultati nakazujejo, da je interes študentov za izrazne telesne dejavnosti nespremenjen kljub čustvenemu nelagodju. Posplošeni konstrukti strahu so morda nezadostni za zajemanje čustvene palete učenja na podlagi plesa, kar nakazuje potrebo po bolj kontekstno specifičnih čustvenih merilnih postopkih. S poudarkom na kulturno utemeljeni umetniški obliki v jugovzhodnoazijskem okolju ta raziskava prispeva k svetovni razpravi o razvoju interesa in afektivni vključenosti v športni vzgoji. Predlagana so tudi priporočila za prihodnje raziskave in pedagoško zasnovo.
