    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.

    Factors affecting the choice of elementary school for children among parents in the municipalities of Leganes, Oton and Pavia
    Araneta, Arlyn G.; Carillo, John Paul Q. (Division of Social Sciences, Bachelor of Science in Economics, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2008-03)
    This paper was designed to identify the factors that significantly affect the choice of elementary school for children among parents in the municipalities of Leganes, Oton, and Pavia. Data were gathered through personal interviews using an interview schedule with 90 study participants with children whose ages ranged from 7-13 years old. There were 30 participants from each municipality. A Logistic Regression Analysis was employed to identify the significant factors. Descriptive analysis showed that the majority of the households have children enrolled in private rather than in public schools (54% vs. 46%). At a 1% level of significance, the model showed that school quality reflected by the computer subject offered by the school, the school distance measured by the travel time going to school, and the school as either parent’s alma mater were significant factors affecting parents' decision for an elementary school for the children.
