PARTICIPATIVE RESEARCH AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Participative Research
Providing a good and conducive learning and training environment is the
desire of every educational institution on the world (Craig, 2013). The government
has several channels or agencies for educational services for the people in every
country to be educated. In the aspect of education, the government is providing
schools like colleges and universities to the young people who wanted to pursue
their educational attainment. One of the institutions provided by the government in
promoting education is the state university like Cebu Technological University Main Campus.
The aforementioned university is providing good education to its students
especially in the graduate school education. The rise of the population of the
graduate school calls for an additional learning environment or develop its existing
learning environment in order to cater the academic needs of the graduate school
students. This study will address on the enhancement of the learning environment
with appropriate resources of the graduate school. There are those that need to
be enhanced due to its utilizations by several graduate school students. The
importance of the learning environment is indeed the reason of the birth of this
study.
2
Learning environments are found in educational institution of all kinds,
including public and private schools. An attempt to provide a safe and conducive
place where students perform their academic endeavor and study their lessons for
the subjects they are enrolled in, it is a place uninterrupted by other distractions
(Clarke, 2000). A learning environment can be a familiar and supportive
environment for the students and professors learning to harness and develop their
academic learning and approaches.
Most of the students preferred to stay in the learning environment where
they can also interact with other great minds, their classmates. Academic
institutions are tasked to create an environment and promote a good learning
environment for all students. An enhanced learning environment lends dignity to
the learning process of the students. It is a pivotal linchpin in promoting and
creating favorable mood and atmosphere to ensure that effective learning and
strong relationships among students would take place.
One of the integral features in creating conducive learning environment is it
organization having the facilities needed by the professors and students that would
include proper positioning of furniture and fixtures that will help provide the
students an atmosphere that will create a good academic ambiance (Hawley,
2002). In the perspective of promoting the field of physical education in the
graduate school the right environment must be provided in order for the students
to freely perform their academic activities in preparation of attaining their degree.
In some instances in the university during some activities in physical education
3
there were times that the students were unable to perform well due to its lack of
avenue in performing such activity conducted by their professors.
The researchers desire to provide equipment to be used by the students
and other learning facilities inside the classroom aid in stimulating the students’
senses to acquire leaning in the pursuit of their career. They provide meaningful
experiences and enhance intellectual development. The life of the students in the
academe is so tight and oftentimes pressure, tiring but inspiring. They need a
learning that will provide them the convenience of learning and knowing.
It is a place wherein it is equipped with the good learning facilities and
fixtures in order to address the need of the students for learning enhancement
(Yick, 2009). There is also a need to put other identified facilities in order to
promote comfort and convenience to the students and professors. A good walling
for instance is something that will provide a very good contention of an air
conditioning in the classroom that promotes convenience in class discussion
especially in physical education courses in the graduate school.
A good lighting will provide good reading endeavors and the students can
see clearly the information from the lessons provided by the professors and the
topics shared by their classmates. A professor’s table and chair for instance can
contribute to the convenience of the professors to convey his/her lessons to the
students and can discuss properly and answer conveniently the inquiries and
clarifications of the students.
4
A learning environment is like a second home for the students and it needs
to have a welcoming and conducive atmosphere in order to support the learning
effectiveness of the students (Campbell, 2009). It has also indeed an influence to
the students’ learning and knowledge pursuit in the academe.
Nowadays, most of the learning environments must be equipped with the
facilities that could be of great use to the students in harnessing their skills in
physical education as the recipient of knowledge. It is observed in several learning
institutions in the country that gave such academic discipline a way to be
inculcated in the mind and heart of the students in order to attain their degree with
confidence. This is one of the reasons that there are athletes coming from those
institutions in the country. The physical set up of the learning environment is also
a key factor in learning process of the students and as well as the effective
relationships among them.
The Graduate School of the Cebu Technological University takes into
utmost consideration the positive and conducive learning environment of the
students. For this reason, the researchers see the need for providing facilities or
equipment in the Graduate School learning environment located at the porch area
near the students’ entrance. Developing the Graduate School learning
environment will one way or another help the students achieve the optimum quality
learning in the field of physical education. Developing the learning environment is
a process the researchers are sourcing which is the purpose of this study.
The researchers then designed this participative research to take an
active part in making the learning environment of the Graduate School of the Cebu
5
Technological University-Main Campus to become well-equipped and conducive
for learning. Thus, this participative research is worthy of endorsement and
commendation.
Theoretical Background
Having good learning environment in the graduate will promote tremendous
learning and equip the students with globally competitive knowledge. This study
anchors on the theory of cognitive and expertise theory by Ericson. Cognitivism is
the study in psychology which focuses on mental processes, which involves how
people perceive, think, remember, learn, solve problems, direct their attention to
one stimulus rather than another (Briggs, 2009). It shows that in order to attain
knowledge there is a need of a stimulus in order to strengthen and propagate
learning.
Cognitive development on the other hand is the process of assimilating and
expanding our intellectual horizon is termed as cognitive development. We have a
complex physiological structure that absorbs a number of variety stimuli from the
environment. Which means the interaction, which are able to acquire knowledge
and skills. Parents process knowledge informally in the home while teachers
process knowledge formally in school. Knowledge should be pursued with zest and
zeal if not learning becomes burden.
Learning obtained its foundation at home and it is formalized in school the
basic foundation of learning was provided by the parents and it entered into their
6
mind and became part of their cognition. The environment of a students at home
or society also affected the students’ learning.
In this regard developing a learning environment is indeed a need in order
to provide what the students deserved. Providing excellent facilities will all the
more help the students learn to grow using the power of cognition. Attention is the
first part of the cognitive development. Learning takes place when the student
gives attention towards the teacher (Zehm, 2013). Interest and effort closely relate
to attention. Attention is an active process which involves numerous stimuli from
outside. The convenience that will be experienced in the learning environment is
one of the stimuli that promotes and motivates learning.
The convenience that an academic institution will provide will contribute to
the learning development of the students and help them attain their academic
goals. Cognitive theory mainly stresses on the acquisition of knowledge and
growth of the mental structure. Cognitive theory mainly focuses on conceptualizing
the students' learning process: how information is received; how information
processed and organized into existing schema; how information is retrieved upon
recall (Brundrette, 2002). In other words, cognitive theory seeks to explain the
process of knowledge acquisition and the subsequent effects on the mental
structures within the mind. Learning is not about the mechanics of what a learner
does, but rather a process depending on what the learner already knows (existing
information) and their method of acquiring new knowledge (how they integrate new
information into their existing schemas).
7
The understanding of the cognitive theory is on the mental realm and the
development of knowledge in the realm of mental structure. This knowledge
acquisition is influenced by the surrounding or the ambiance in order to acquire
knowledge for the purpose of integration and will become a new set of knowledge.
Knowledge acquisition is a mental activity consisting of internal coding of
mental structures within the students’ mind. Inherent to the theory, the student
must be an active participant in their own learning process. Cognitive approach
mainly focuses on the mental activities of the learner like mental planning, goal
setting and organizational strategies (Campbell, 2009). In cognitive theories not
only the environmental factors and instructional components plays an important
role in learning. Additional key elements like learning attend to code, transform,
rehearse, and store and retrieve the information. Learning process includes
learner’s thoughts, beliefs, and attitude values.

Location
The knowledge avenue development was endorsed to the Graduate School of
Cebu Technological University Main Campus, Cebu City. It is located along MJ
Cuenco Avenue St. Cebu City. It is considered a center of excellence for
technology education as it is certified ISO: 9001:2008 certified by Anglo Japanese
American Registrars.
The mechanical mediation was embraced to the Graduate School of Cebu
Technological University Main Campus, Cebu City. It is situated along MJ Cuenco
Avenue St. Cebu City. It is viewed as a focal point of greatness for innovation
instruction as it is guaranteed ISO: 9001:2008 ensured by Anglo Japanese
American Registrars.
Cebu Technological University, once in the past known as Cebu State
College of Science and Technology (CSCST), is made out of nine grounds all
through the Province of Cebu. It turned into a state college on November 10, 2009
by righteousness of Republic Act No. 9744. The grounds are situated in Cebu City
(Main Campus), Argao, Barili, San Francisco, Carmen, Daanbantayan, Danao,
Moalboal and Tuburan.
The college, as an arrangement of nine grounds and 11 expansions, began
as Cebu School of Arts and Trades in Cebu City, Sudlon Agricultural College in
Lahug, Cebu City, Abellana National School in Cebu City, Danao Vocational
School in Danao City, Tuburan Vocational School in Tuburan, Moalboal School of
Fisheries in Moalboal, Argao Agro-Industrial School in Argao, Quirino School of
14
Fisheries in Carmen, Manuel A. Roxas Memorial School of Fisheries in
Daanbantayan, and Magsaysay School of Fisheries in San Francisco, Camotes
Islands. These were incorporated into Cebu State College of Science and
Technology (CSCST) System on June 10, 1983 by uprightness of Batas
Pambansa Bilang 412. It was commanded that the new state school should extend
its curricular projects concentrating on higher mechanical instruction.
On December 16, 2003, to completely institutionalize and to very regulate
the whole administration of its instructive framework, Cebu State College of
Science and Technology was conceded Certificate of Registration by AngloJapanese American (AJA) Registrars Incorporated as per ISO 9001:2000 Quality
Management System Standards, with Certification No. AJA 03/6952 giving it global
acknowledgment. On February 7, 2007, CSCST was recertified by AJA Registrars
Inc. as ISO 9001:2000 QMS consistent.
The Main Campus in Cebu City began in 1911 when the Cebu Trade School
was set up as one of the soonest professional schools in the nation. Established
by the Americans as the Manual Arts Department of the Cebu Normal School (now
Cebu Normal University), its fundamental design was to create specialized
abilities. The school delivered its first graduates in 1912.
Cebu Trade School later turned into a subsidiary of the Cebu Provincial
High School situated along Jones Avenue. Through Proclamation No. 180 on
August 20, 1928, it turned into a different element and obtained its present site at
the edge of M.J. Cuenco Avenue, and R. Palma St.

The specific location of this participative research is the area where the
graduate school classrooms are build due to the effort of the graduate students
who made a good contribution to the university. Since the time that the researchers
set foot on the ground of the university, the graduate school were in need of
classrooms due to the several students who wanted to pursue their degree in
advanced studies as the years passed the graduate school students especially
those who finished their degree ahead of us exerted their effort in order to leave a
legacy to the incoming graduate school students and the participative researchers
are one of those. As the years passed the learning environment build by the
predecessors need to be and maintained and the researchers wanted to contribute
in the enhancement aspect of the graduate school learning environment.

2018. It was in the second semester of 2017-2018. All the tasks stated in the
participative research will be distributed accordingly within the specific time frame.
The participative researchers utilized the time and effort in completing the
participative research.
The learning environment development was endorsed to the
Graduate School of Cebu Technological University-Main Campus. For the
utilization the graduate school students in enhancing their academic pursuit in
17
attaining their professional career in physical education in an environment that will
promote a good learning environment. It is observed and treasured by all academic
institutions the importance of physical education. It aims to develop students’
physical competences and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability to
use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the development
of an active and healthy lifestyle. It also develops students’ confidence and generic
skills, especially those of collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking
and aesthetic appreciation. These, together with the nurturing of positive values
and attitudes in PE, provide a good foundation for students’ lifelong and life wide
learning (Demettrio, 2011)

Chapter 2
PRESENTATION, DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
This chapter presents the processes involved in the participative research
based on specific statements of participative research output as what was the
development of learning contexture for physical education intrepidness.
Based on the survey conducted, the participative researchers were able to
gather the following data.
THE STATUS OF THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT IN THE GRADUATE
SCHOOL
The participative researchers obtained the perception on the enhancement
in terms of the necessity of the graduate school learning environment. The
researchers have observed that the most needed area for enhancement was the
porch area of the graduate school. It is noticed based on the survey that the
population in the graduate school is increasing and the demand for learning
environment needs to be addressed. Compare to the undergrad students, the
graduate school students need to utilize learning environment for their academic
growth. Most of the students of the graduate school were professionals and
24
obtained positions in the different agencies in the government like CHED, DEPED
etc. and private corporations.
The researcher respondents perceived that there is a need to enhance the
porch area learning environment for its utilization in favor of the graduate school
physical education classes. Learning environment is very relevant in acquiring
knowledge and obtaining a degree (Hena, 2015). In the academe spaces that can
be used must be used in order for the academe to deliver the intention of
developing the avenue of knowledge which help the learners grow and attain their
academic goals.
It can be argued that these are necessary, if not deterministic conditions of
engagement in lifelong physical activity. In the social domain, there is sufficient
evidence to support claims of positive benefits for young people. Importantly,
benefits are mediated by environmental and contextual factors such as leadership,
the involvement of young people in decision‐ making, an emphasis on social
relationships, and an explicit focus on learning processes. In the affective domain,
too, engagement in physical activity has been positively associated with numerous
dimensions of psychological and emotional development, yet the mechanisms
through which these benefits occur are less clear (Bailey, 2009).
Based on the survey there were several learning environments built in the
graduate school through the helped and contribution of the graduate school
students for the intention of giving the graduate school students the avenue to
harness themselves in attaining their degree. It is noticed that those learning
25
environments located in the porch area of the graduate school need to be
enhanced in order to maintain its ambiance. The researchers noticed that there
were never enough facilities and equipment for physical education to be utilized by
the students in the graduate school and even the researchers themselves
experienced such insufficiency.
Evidence suggests that physical education, with its emphasis on persistent
team membership, promotes personal and social development in the form of
student responsibility, cooperation and trust skills. Student leadership within the
model has been identified as potentially problematic for effective content
development and the promotion of equitable participation. Further research is
required to examine the dynamics of peer interaction and subsequent content
learning and performance that occurs during student-led tasks of the curriculum
(Wallhead, 2006).
Physical education has effect in the educational endeavors of the students
that sharpen their intellect and made them alert and quick in their pursuit of
knowledge. According to the study of Peney the formulation of a good pedagogy
in physical education would shape the dimension of quality of education of the
students (Peney, 2009)
The researchers found out that there was a need to provide those facilities
and equipment to the identified learning environment for the use of the physical
education classes and some other classes that require or need those facilities and
equipment in order to adhere to the aim of attaining quality education in the
26
graduate school. The identified learning environments that need to be provided
were given attention to the researchers in this study.
THE EXTENT OF NECESSITY OF THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL
The respondents obtained the perception on the extent of the necessity of
the enhancement of the learning environment in the graduate school. Table 3
presents the results of the survey conducted as to what was the area for
improvement and development in the technological university as perceived by the
participative researchers.
The Respondent Perception of the Following Enhancement in Terms of its
Necessity in the Graduate School
This section presents the respondents perception of the necessary
enhancement in the graduate school porch area. The said learning environment in
the graduate school need to be enhanced in order to provide a good learning
environment to the graduate school physical education students.

Table 2 shows that there were 6 or 12 percent of the respondents perceived
that flooring was very important to enhance, there were 26 or 52 percent of the
respondents perceived that facilities and equipment was very important and 18 or
36 percent of the respondents perceived that lighting and air-conditioning was very
important. Based on the findings the facilities and equipment have the dominant
result in terms of its importance. Based on the survey the porch learning
environments were built few years ago in response to the need of classrooms in
the graduate school due to the increasing population of the graduate school
students including the physical education students there is a need to provide
learning environment facilities and equipment to be used by the graduate school
students.
Facilities and equipment are very important in the pursuit of education
especially in the graduate school. Based on the study conducted by Hawley (2002)
on how the school will become effective, he found out that learning environment
facility and equipment will help improve the school performance because the
students will be equipped in using those in relation to their academic pursuit. The
facilities like sound proofing should be provided in the learning environment in
order to give a certain class to perform their academic activities by not disturbing
other students who are also in their pursuit of knowledge. Equipment like water
dispensers, laptops, sound systems and the like are also helpful to the students in
realizing their academic presentations and improving their skills. In the aspect of
28
physical education, the students need to develop their skills in singing, dancing
and others.
Physical activity in the study of Ploughman stipulated in her findings that it
enhances memory and learning promotes neuro genesis and protects the nervous
system from injury and diseases (Ploughman, 2009). Those who had a deeper
understanding on this matter gave themselves time to perform physical activities
in any means like going to the dancing studio and physical fitness gym. The
importance of physical activity if given emphasis will help build a healthy society
and that mitigate the problem of sickness and hospitalization. It can minimize the
budget that the government is pouring to public hospitals and medical institutions.
PARTICIPATIVE RESEARCH OUTPUT
Based on the survey conducted and the data collected by the
researchers, professors and students’ respondent the area that needs
improvement and development in the graduate school was the porch area learning
environment ofthe graduate school. The porch area learning environment need to
be provided with facility and equipment for learning in the graduate school physical
education students.

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the summary of the participative research and the
recommendations suggested by the researchers in enhancing the porch area
learning environment of the graduate school by providing the facilities and
equipment needed for the betterment of the graduate school education.
Summary
The
participative
research
entitled
“ELABORATIVE
LEARNING
CONTEXTURE FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS INTREPIDNESS” aimed to assess
area for improvement in the porch area by providing facilities and equipment for
knowledge empowerment.
This participative research addressed the scarcity of learning environment
facilities and equipment in the graduate school for the utilization of the graduate
school professors and physical education students. The researchers worked hand
in hand for the whole second semester of 2017-2018 to complete this participative
research. During this period the researchers observed as shown in the work
breakdown structures for the programming of activities.
31
After the research was completed, it was subjected to final evaluation by
the participative research committee and turn over to the University President, a
deed of donation has executed by both parties.
RECOMMENDATION
The completion of this participative research gave the researchers the
chance to provide the CTU Graduate School the learning environment facilities
and equipment for the use of the students and professors in strengthening the
academic endeavors specifically in physical education. However, this participative
research was not enough to attain the established goal of the Graduate School.
Hence, the following recommendations are proposed:
Several graduate school students who would conduct a participative
research that will focus on learning environment facilities and equipment will be
given so much attention for the sake of academic development. The participative
research makes the researchers deliver the intention to provide those facilities and
equipment for the graduate school.
The researchers recommended that those facilities and equipment being
donated should be maintained and taken care by the administrator for the present
and future students of the graduate school. Finally, the participative researchers
recommended the end users must take of those facilities and equipment at all
times.
