Item Perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior and teaching method in relation to student's academic successCanabal, Ge-Ann D. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)This study examined the relationship among the factors influencing the academic success of college students namely: student’s perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior and teaching method. A survey was done on 155 respondents using three instruments to measure the variables. The data gathered were analyzed using Multiple Regression. Results showed that students perceived the cooperative-type of teacher as more effective than the dominant-type. It was found that both subscale values of student’s perception of effective teacher interpersonal behavior namely dominance and cooperation were predictive of student’s academic success. Also, students perceived the student-centered method of teaching as more effective than the teacher-centered method. Furthermore, it was revealed that only the student-centered method was predictive of student’s academic success.Item Households' participation in community-based solid waste management programCamayra, Zyllette G.; Casimero, Joeuella M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-04)Proper management, of solid waste is the answer to the worsening problem of garbage. The participation of the household sector, as the primary source of solid waste, plays an important role in the successful implementation of Community-Based Solid Waste Management Program (CBSWMP). The study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between households' participation in Community-Based Solid Waste Management Program and the age and awareness of the household head as well as the monthly income of the household, it seeks to accomplish the following objectives: (1) To describe the profile of the households in barangay Mat-y, Miagao, Iloilo, with active CBSWMP; (2) To determine if there is a relationship between households’ participation in CBSWMP and age of the household head; (3) To determine if there is a relationship between households' participation in CBSWMP and income of the household; (4) To determine if there is a relationship between households’ participation in CBSWMP and awareness of the household head. The sample of the study involved residents of barangay Mat-y. Miagao, Iloilo. Eighty respondents, from the total 320 probable respondents, were randomly selected and interviewed. The interview was made possible using an interview schedule. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that, age, monthly income and level of awareness did not show direct correlation with respondents’ participation with CBSWMP. Although, a relationship exists among variables and participation on CBSWMP, the nature of relationship is weak and inverse thereby not giving significant findings. From the results, it can be said therefore that, the participation of households in CBSWMP may depend on households’ attitudes and behavior towards the program. The researchers recommend further research to be conducted on households’ participation in CBSWMP but using other variables not included in this study.Item Foreign direct investment and economic growth of countries in Southeast Asia: A panel data approachCalvario, Aileen S.; Villaram, Arlene A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)Since the boom of foreign direct investment that accompanied an overall economic upturn in many Asian economies in the late 1980’s and early 1990s, flows of FDI to Asian economies have attracted a significant attention to a number of FDI literatures that recognizes the contribution of FDI to economic growth of most developing countries in Southeast Asia. This study was conducted to determine the impacts of foreign direct investment on the economic growth of countries of Southeast Asia. The data were gathered from the World Development Indicators (WDI) and United Nation Conference on Trade Agreement and Development (UNCTAD). Fixed Effects, Random Effects, and Pooled OLS estimation procedures were employed to analyze the impacts of FDI on the economic growth of countries in Southeast Asia. Results showed that without trade openness, FDI has a positive and significant impact on economic growth of the nine Southeast Asian countries. However, after adding trade openness as regressors in the model, results showed that FDI still has positive but not statistically significant impact on the economic growth of countries in Southeast Asia.Item Profile of juvenile delinquents in the Regional Rehabilitation Center for the Youth RRCY (Region VI) in GuimarasCalizo, Brian M.; Ocbeña, Ramir B. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2001-03-22)This study aimed to determine the profile of juvenile delinquents in RRCY VI in Guimaras. Respondents of the study were delinquents who were admitted in the rehabilitation center from November 15, 1998 to February 10, 2001. Interview schedules and questionnaires were the primary tools for gathering data. There were two sets of questionnaires using a five-point scale. The first set measured respondents’ perception towards delinquency and second set measured their personal conviction to change. Two-tailed tests and Pearson Correlation were used to test the validity and reliability of the questionnaires, respectively. Standard Deviation was used to determine respondents’ levels of perception towards delinquency and personal conviction to change. Results of the study showed that respondents have an average negative perception towards delinquency and an average conviction to change. It was also found out that most of them are 14 to 17 years old, middle-born child who have low educational attainment, grave criminal offense/s.

(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2024-07)This study aims to determine the economic and living conditions of the migrant community in Baybay Norte, Miagao, Iloilo. The total number of respondents in the household survey is 101. Decile dispersion ratio, Gini coefficient, and logistic regression were utilized to identify the determinants of poverty and the level of inequality among migrant households. Results indicated that 21.8% of the migrant households fall below the poverty line. The poorest 10% accounts for 3.7% of the total income compared to the 10% richest, which accounts for 36.1%. A Gini index of 0.40 also reveals the high level of inequality among them. The logistic regression results reveal that the percentage of earners in the household, formal education of household head, level of expenditure per capita, engagement in formal employment, and electricity consumption are the significant variables that determine the likelihood of the migrant households being poor. The findings of the study have significant implications for the development of interventions and policies aimed at improving the living conditions of migrant households experiencing poverty.Item Perception of 4th-year criminology students in Iloilo City towards the CPP-NPA and their attitude towards red-taggingCallada, Gilbert C.; Panes, Princess Grace T. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-06)The Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) is portrayed negatively by the state, state forces, and the media. This negative portrayal of the organization fuels the counterinsurgency campaigns mainly done by the military and police. The security forces have also been flagged of red tagging leftist organizations accused of assisting the CPP-NPA. As future members of the police, this study aims to examine Iloilo City-based criminology students’ perception of CPP- NPA and their attitude toward red-tagging. The association between their perception and attitude and the manner by which concepts of communism and CPP-NPA were introduced to them in their university context were also examined. This study used a combined survey and in-depth interview of select respondents. Results show that Criminology students have generally negative perceptions of the CPP-NPA; they perceive the CPP-NPA as enemies of the state. Their ROTC program at large, together with their professors, and peers introduced the concept of CPP-NPA to them negatively, with their ROTC as the most significant. Despite this, students have a negative attitude toward red-tagging suggesting their disapproval of it. There is no association between their perception of CPP-NPA and their attitude towards red- tagging, which means their negative perception of the CPP-NPA does not lead to their approval of red-tagging.Item The effects of group size on math and reading test performance of first year high school students of Roxas Memorial College of Arts and Trade Kalibo, AklanCalinao, Princess Joy T.; Fuentes, Christine S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1999-03)The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of group size on math and reading test performance of first year high school students. Thirty randomly selected first year high school students participated in the study. Fifteen worked individually and the other fifteen worked in groups of five students.

(Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1998-03)This research documents and explains the emergence and persistence of the Lim family in the politics of Tibiao. Through interviews and archival research, the study reveals that even before any member of the Lim family entered the politics, they were already one of the prominent families in Tibiao. Their evolution as politicians could be traced back to an ancestor as early as 1919. They become well known and strong in local politics because of their rich political resources (including land, financial capability, human capabilities), their prestigious and historic name and the support of big politicians and other relatives. Their activities and philanthropic deeds as politicians enhanced their family's image; they are highly regarded, respected and trusted by the people. It is concluded that the family maintains their dominance in electoral politics by manifesting their concern to the people using government resources and utilizing their political resources.Item Level of political cynicism and political efficacy among the faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High SchoolCalanza, Jean T. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2007-03)The perception of an individual, its level of participation, reaction or response to society specifically to the political system basically has an adverse effect on government or the political system itself. The extent or level of political participation one displays depends on the political stimuli he receives. And this level of participation also affects his attitude or behavior towards politically-significant objects. This research focused on the attitude of individuals towards the political system as affected by their knowledge in its programs and policies being implemented. This study used a descriptive and relational research design. This study utilized a questionnaire prepared by the researcher. The respondents were faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High School of San Miguel, Iloilo. The hypotheses of this study were as follows : 1.) There is a significant relationship between sex, religion, years in service, educational attainment, residence, area of specialization and rank and level of political cynicism of faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High School in San Miguel, Iloilo; 2.) There is a significant relationship between sex, religion, and years in service, educational attainment, and residence, area of specialization and rank and level of political efficacy of faculty members of Leonora S. Salapantan National High School in San Miguel, Iloilo, and; 3.) There is a significant relationship between the level of political cynicism and political efficacy of the respondents. As validity test, pre-test was conducted to 6 respondents not included in this study. Face validation was also done by someone knowledgeable in political participations, political cynicism and politician efficacy. The result of the study shows that the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents have no relationship to their level of political cynicism and level of efficacy of the respondents towards the Local Government Unit of San Miguel, Iloilo in its compliance with the Local Government Code. Based on the results, the hypotheses were therefore rejected. Moreover, it was found out that although the respondents possesses moderate to high level of political cynicism, they remain efficacious. This means that the perception and attitude of an individual towards the political system does not affect his level of political participation. This may be due to the fact that people were vigilant enough to know if what is happening in the political arena for this event or issue might affect him, may it be directly or indirectly.
