Awareness and Attitude of Junior High School Students in Traditional Game (Laro Ng Lahi)

This descriptive correlation quantitative research study aimed to determine the level of awareness and attitude towards Laro ng Lahi of the Junior High School students in selected schools of District of Los Banos. Simple random sampling technique was used in selecting the respondents. A modified and validated survey-questionnaire was developed to obtain the respondent’s profile: grade level, age, sex, and family income. To assess the level of knowledge of the respondents in every Laro ng Lahi, statements were formulated that focused on the characteristics of each game, and level of attitude towards playing games. Based on the findings, majority of the respondents are female and have family income within the range of PhP1,000-5,000. It is found that they were aware of different Laro ng Lahi: patintero, agawan base, piko, and luksong tinik, however, they were not aware of the game siato/tsato. Based on their attitude towards games, they were willing to engage themselves in playing games as one of their recreational activities in school. Furthermore, they found the games interesting and could help them to energize, stimulating, and developing socialization. Although they were moderately positive about their fear of playing games and even getting tired and bored, still had positive attitude towards the said games, that it is an enjoyable to play. From these results, physical education teachers are encouraged to design their physical education curriculum guide to include the Laro ng Lahi as part of the students’ physical activities. The students may engage themselves in playing laro ng lahi to preserve as one of the Filipino cultures, as an alternative to modern games
