{"abstract":"This phenomenological study explored the perceptions, affective attitudes, and motivational drivers influencing the engagement of ten purposively selected Generation Z learners at Biliran Province State University (BiPSU) with Laro ng Lahi. Data gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed via systematic thematic coding revealed a significant \"Cognitive-Cultural Disconnect,\" where participants exhibited high procedural mastery derived from informal observation but lacked declarative knowledge regarding the socio-historical origins of the games. Affectively, the narratives indicated a \"Nostalgic Appreciation\" rooted in the psychological need for Relatedness, serving as a \"social-emotional detox\" from digital isolation, though this valuation is frequently hindered by an \"Exhaustion-Enjoyment Paradox\" and the convenience of sedentary technology. Ultimately, the study identified \"Technological and Environmental Displacement\" as the primary barrier to sustained interest, while highlighting a strong learner desire for \"Institutional Modernization\" through gamified competitive structures. The findings conclude that the survival of traditional Filipino games in the modern era necessitates a hybrid pedagogical model that bridges ancestral heritage with the digital habits and institutional scaffolding required by the contemporary learner.","abstract_source":"original","authors":["Jay Dimatangal","Glorinor Silleza","Kayzez Mae Acuin","Michelle Ann Misa","Joel Alfarero"],"date":"2026-10-10","doi":"10.70838/pemj.631001","id":11033,"issue":10,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"1dcb4f1e9a49fa473fc6e9db98b9cf20f83a6cba26b09118654ebbf98e312be3","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Lived Experiences of Gen Z Students Towards Laro ng Lahi: A Phenomenological Study","volume":63}
