The primary aim of this research is to investigate the immediate influence of students’ personal experiences and their degree of interest in traditional dances of the Philippines in relation to preservation efforts. Respondents for the study are students from a higher education institution in the Philippines. After obtaining data and performing multiple regression analysis, it was observed that overall personal experience has a direct influence to level of interest. Moreover, students’ personal experience has a direct influence to their interest towards dance steps and costumes, except music and dance history. Therefore, offering a wide range of varied and substantial activities students is imperative, commencing from early education through to their tertiary education years, to enhance enthusiasm and involvement in the safeguarding of these intangible cultural heritages. Limitations and recommendations for physical education teachers in the higher education sector, institutional projects and collaborative efforts, and future research directions are also presented.

学生的个人经历与个人对菲律宾传统舞蹈的兴趣，包括舞步、音乐、服装和舞蹈历史的保护工作：这重要吗？


本研究的主要目的是调查学生的个人经历以及他们对菲律宾传统舞蹈的兴趣程度对保护工作的直接影响。该研究的受访者是菲律宾一所高等教育机构的学生。在获得数据并进行多元回归分析后，发现整体个人经历对兴趣水平有直接影响。此外，除了音乐和舞蹈史之外，学生的个人经历也直接影响他们对舞步和服装的兴趣。因此，从早期教育到高等教育阶段，为学生提供丰富多彩、内容丰富的活动势在必行，以提高学生保护这些非物质文化遗产的积极性和参与度。还提出了高等教育部门体育教师的局限性和建议、机构项目和合作努力以及未来的研究方向。
