EXPLORING THE INFLUENCE OF INDIGENOUS SPORTS ON CULTURAL PRESERVATION AMONG THE COLLEGE STUDENTS
Abstract
Indigenous sports play a significant role in upholding cultural identity and heritage, particularly among students. This study examined the correlation between indigenous sports participation and cultural preservation among Bachelor of Physical Education students. A quantitative research design was utilized, and 306 students of PAFH 4 were randomly selected. Correlation of mean, Pearson’s r, and regression analysis were employed in analyzing the data. Survey questionnaires were used as the primary means of measurement for both independent and dependent variables. Results indicated a positive correlation between engagement in indigenous sports and the preservation of the culture. In addition, regression analysis indicated that active participation in indigenous sports was a significant predictor of cultural awareness among students and efforts to preserve cultural practice. These results highlight the importance of incorporating indigenous sports in school programs because they can enhance students’ attachment to their cultural heritage. Schools can undertake promoting such activities through the development of curriculum, cultural events, and extracurricular activities to support cultural preservation as well as students’ participation further.
