    Parent absenteeism and the child's motivation to learn and academic performance
    Bugna, Edelweiss C. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2000-03-20)
    This study sought to compare the motivation to learn and academic performance of children with absentee and non-absentee parents. Respondents were 180 pupils from Grades IV, V, and VI in Miagao Central Elementary School. The respondents were made to answer independently a 40-item questionnaire with a 5-point Likert Scale. It was hypothesized that children with absentee parents have low motivation to learn and poor academic performance and that there is a correlation between the two variables. T-test for independent samples was used to determine the difference of the mean scores of children with absentee and non-absentee parents. Pearson r was utilized to measure correlation between motivation to learn and academic performance. Results showed that motivation to learn (t1 = .30) and academic performance (t2 = -.24) were not significant at .05 alpha level and there was a low correlation (r = .02) between motivation to learn and academic performance. Findings imply that parent absenteeism did not entirely determine the degree of the child’s motivation to learn and academic performance due to other factors such as parental involvement, the child’s intelligence, home environment, teacher and classroom setting, and the child’s intrinsic inclination to learn and perform well.

    Textbook citizenship: The depiction of citizenship in selected social studies high school textbooks in Iloilo City
    Almio. Doni June V. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2012-03)
    A research was conducted to identify the citizenships depicted in selected Social Studies textbooks in Iloilo City and compared it with the citizenships found in Russia in Bulgaria.The method used for the study was qualitative content analysis of sixteen social studies textbooks and key informant interview for the process of textbook making. The most dominant body involved in the textbook making process is the state through its agencies. The schools, may it be public, laboratory, or private are subjected to the guidelines of the Department of Education when it comes to selection of textbooks.The researcher identified four classifications of citizenship that are present in the textbooks that were analyzed: Passive Citizenship, Active Citizenship, National Citizenship, and Religious Citizenship. These classifications of citizenship are dependent on the political culture of each country. By identifying the citizenship depicted in the high school social studies textbooks, it will be evident on how the Philippines wants its citizens to be. This is because of the reason that Philippines used the textbooks as state ideological apparatuses to maintain control over its people. Citizenship training is the best way to do that.
