DOCUMENTING EASTERN VISAYAN INDIGENOUS TOYS AS EDUCATIONAL ALTERNATIVES TO ADDICTIVE MODERN GADGETRY
Maqola haqida umumiy ma'lumotlar
Before the advent of computer technology, children and young people of the Eastern Visayas region in the Philippines engaged themselves in fun games using homemade toys readily available in the immediate environment. These toys could develop physical strength, mental alertness, teamwork, and social interactions when played with. But when the advancing computer technology came with its gadgets that are getting hi-tech over time, plus the numerous digital games that they bring, children became glued to these computerized games, their productive times consumed, their attention stolen, their studies and household duties neglected. Hence, to many of these youngsters, obsession with these gadgets even worsened into addiction. To somehow divert their attention without altering their natural playful tendency, this study was conceived by way of documenting the native toys of old that could generate fun games among children and young people. Using the descriptive method, this qualitative study chose participants across the region aged 40 and above, providing the data on what those toys are and the rules of the games. The results of this study could invite attention to these toys that have been mostly forgotten and ignored. Their retrieval and reintroduction especially in educational institutions could somehow divert the interest among these kids, saving them thus from too much exposure and destructive addiction to modern gadgetry.
