The Art of Movement: Anyo Training Videos and Arnis Performance of Grade 7 Learners

Abstract

In today’s digital age, integrating multimedia tools like Anyo training videos into physical education offers a dynamic way to boost student learning and engagement. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Anyo training videos on Arnis in enhancing the cognitive and physical performance of 40 Grade 7 students at Pilot Provincial Science High School and Technology, Cotabato City, during the 2024-2025 school year. A quantitative research design was employed, integrating a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with a descriptive-evaluative approach to assess the efficacy of Anyo training videos. A survey questionnaire was used to measure effectiveness and gather feedback. Data analysis, conducted using SPSS, included means, standard deviations, t-tests, and Pearson r analysis to determine statistical significance. The results highlighted the high effectiveness of Anyo training videos in Arnis for Grade 7 PE classes, with outstanding ratings in Instructional Design and Organization, Instructional Quality, Assessment, and Adaptability. The findings suggest that incorporating video-based tools into PE curricula enhances teaching practices and student outcomes by providing a flexible and engaging method for skill development. Significant improvements were observed in both cognitive and physical performance. Cognitive performance increased from a mean of 11.70 (below average) to 22.40 (good), reflecting a 10.70-point gain. Meanwhile, physical performance improved significantly, rising from 17.33 (poor) to 62.20 (very satisfactory), with a 44.87-point gain.T-test results confirmed statistically significant improvements in both cognitive performance (t = -20.964, p < .05) and physical performance (t = -41.474, p < .05). However, Pearson-r analysis indicated a weak, non-significant relationship between pre-lesson cognitive performance and the effectiveness of the videos. Post-lesson, a significant correlation was found between cognitive performance and the videos' instructional design and organization (r = .524, p = .018). No significant correlations were found between the videos' effectiveness and physical performance before or after the lesson. Despite this, the overall findings underscore the positive impact of Anyo training videos on both cognitive and physical development in students, highlighting their potential as effective instructional tools in PE curricula.
