Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 25, Issue 6
Abstract
DanceSport is the new signature for competitive ballroom dancing, which was originally intended to reflect the sport's current reputation as a difficult one. Physical strength, agility, coordination, stamina, a high degree of fitness, discipline, teamwork, grace, style, and musical interpretation are among its attributes. In the past few decades, DanceSport has experienced tremendous expansion and development, garnering more public attention and remarkable breakthroughs on the professional front. Even with this growing acknowledgment, there is a conspicuous lack of scholarly writing on the responsibilities, proficiencies, and professionalism of DanceSport technical officials—important individuals in charge of guaranteeing the uniformity, impartiality, and general prosperity of contests. These officials are essential in maintaining the caliber and integrity of competitions, acting as the backbone of the sport This descriptive-correlational study determined the professionalism, administrative skills, and commitment among DanceSport technical officials in Panay Island, Region VI, Philippines for the School Year 2023-2024. A researcher-made questionnaire on professionalism, administrative skills, and commitment was used. Majority of respondents were members of LGBTQ+, 31 to 40 years old, bachelor’s degree holders with units toward master’s degree, 11 to 20 years in service, and teaching personnel. The level of professionalism as a whole was very high. In terms of gender, age, highest educational attainment, length of service, and nature of work, their level of professionalism was very high. The level of administrative skills as a whole was very high. In terms of gender, age, highest educational attainment, length of service, and nature of work, their level of administrative skills was very high. The level of commitment as a whole was very high. In terms of gender, age, highest educational attainment, length of service, and nature of work, their level of commitment was very high. There were no significant differences in the level of professionalism, administrative skills, and commitment when classified according to gender, age, highest educational attainment, length of service, and nature of work. However, a significant relationship existed in the level of professionalism, administrative skills, and commitment. Based on the findings of the study on professionalism, administrative skills, and commitment among DanceSport technical officials, it is recommended that organizations develop specialized workshops focusing on these key areas to strengthen their capabilities. Additionally, establishing a mentorship program may help new officials quickly acquire the skills and knowledge necessary for high-level performance. Finally, implementing regular feedback and evaluation mechanisms will ensure ongoing improvement and maintain high standards within the DanceSport community.
