Resumen

Este estudio desarrolló, validó e implementó juegos de física contextualizados culturalmente que integran juegos tradicionales filipinos (Laro-ng-Lahi) como herramientas instruccionales para mejorar la comprensión conceptual de los estudiantes en física. Guiado por un diseño de investigación en tres fases —desarrollo, validación e implementación—, el estudio produjo cinco actividades de aprendizaje basadas en juegos alineadas con las Competencias Esenciales Más Importantes (MELCs) del Departamento de Educación y evaluadas conforme a los estándares del Sistema de Gestión y Desarrollo de Recursos de Aprendizaje (LRMDS). Los expertos evaluadores calificaron altamente los materiales en cuanto a calidad de contenido, formato, organización y precisión, mientras que los comentarios de los estudiantes afirmaron su claridad, atractivo y valor pedagógico. Un diseño cuasi-experimental con preprueba y postprueba en un solo grupo reveló una mejora estadísticamente significativa en el rendimiento de los estudiantes, pasando de “Bajo Dominio” a “Casi Dominio Completo” después de la intervención. Estos hallazgos sugieren que los juegos de física basados en Laro-ng-Lahi ofrecen un enfoque práctico y culturalmente receptivo para la enseñanza de las ciencias. Investigaciones futuras podrían ampliar el diseño y la aplicación de estos juegos a otros niveles escolares y dominios científicos, particularmente en la enseñanza de la física en la educación secundaria.
