Abstract
This chapter presents a study on the development and evaluation of iSAYAW, an innovative web application designed for learning Philippine folk dance, specifically tailored for Filipino pre-service physical educators. Grounded in postpositivist philosophy, the chapter outlines the app's creation through a six-step research and development process. iSAYAW is dedicated to advancing Philippine traditional dance education. The applicability and need for iSAYAW was assessed through a two-pronged approach: first, by evaluating students' technological readiness and the app's usability, and second, by measuring their initial dance knowledge, which served as a basis for the app's initial content. The results revealed an inclination towards technology-based learning among students, coupled with a generally low foundational knowledge in dance, thereby highlighting the necessity and relevance of iSAYAW. The chapter concludes by affirming the app's user-friendliness and appeal, establishing it as a valuable tool for both in-service and pre-service educators in the realm of dance education.
