    Disorientation and queering action in distance education: The queer lived experiences of the queer Filipino teacher
    Balensoy, Timoteo C., III (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-05)
    Queer studies highlight that beyond the idea of gender and sexuality, queerness branches through a vast field of disciplines and focus, urging scholarly interest towards the queer phenomenological question regarding the peculiar and confusing experiences an individual acquires when occupying a particular space as well as the actions they do in a space. Utilizing Ahmed’s Queer Phenomenology (2006) as the theoretical anchor for this inquiry, this study explored queer lived experiences through the experiences of disorientation and the queering actions of queer Filipino teachers; specifically, the mechanisms, the experiences, and the outcomes as queer Filipino teachers become challenged by the normativity of distance education, and how they addressed the challenges they experienced from the disorientation. Through interviews with eight (8) self-identified queer DepEd High School teachers from the provinces of Antique and Capiz from ages 24 to 42, this study identified that in the context of distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic, queer Filipino teachers experience disorientation through the challenges brought about by norms in the learning setup that prescribes specific actions, practices and strategies to avoid and to prioritize. As they reflect on their disorienting experiences, the queer Filipino teacher recognizes a need to change their perspective and pedagogies to orient themselves in the space of distance education. This leads them to enact queering actions through a pedagogical performance of going beyond what are obligated and expected of them, as informed by their identities as queer people, as teachers, and as queer teachers.

    Performativity and subjectivities: A Foucauldian discourse analysis of Pasaway COVID-19 pandemic
    Azarcon, Cherie Izzy; Guadaña, Zennia Grace (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-05)
    This study utilized Foucauldian Discourse Analysis to explore the different constructions of pasaway in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Nine street vendors located around Iloilo City who do not have permanent workspaces were interviewed and their answers served as the text for the analysis. The results showed that their constructions were embedded in five wider discourses: 1) Moral Discourse, 2) Cultural Discourse, 3) Spatial and Temporal Discourse, 4) Economic Discourse, and 5) Power Discourse. Embedded within these five discourses are the different action orientations, positionings, practices, and subjectivities that are informed by the varied constructions of street vendors of the discursive object pasaway in the context of the C0V1D-19 pandemic. The findings also showed that the discourses on the discursive object pasaway are context-specific, performative, and consequential. These are all discussed in relation to social change.

    Reliability and validity of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) Filipino version
    Ang, Louise Victoria T.; Aquino, Kristina Mikhaela M. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2023-06)
    Resilience is defined as the ability to bounce back from a difficult event. Among the existing resilience measures, the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) is distinct in assessing resilience as an individual’s ability to bounce back rather than the resources that contribute to their resilience. However, the BRS’ cultural consideration was also found to be limited. Hence, the purpose of this study was to translate the BRS into Filipino and evaluate the reliability and validity of its scores. The psychometric properties of the scale were evaluated in a heterogenous sample of 561 Filipino adults. Cronbach's Alpha was measured to provide evidence of the score's internal consistency. While confirmatory factor analysis was done to provide evidence of structural validity. Moreover, to provide support of convergent, divergent, and discriminant validity in relation to other resilience measures (Brief Resilience Scale, and Connor Davidson Resilience Scale-10) and to variables such as emotions (Life Orientation Test — Revised), perceived social support (Interpersonal Support Evaluation List-12), anxiety, and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale), correlation analysis and discriminant functional analysis was conducted. The BRS-F scores showed adequate reliability (a = 0.753). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the BRS Filipino version is mono factorial (x2/df= 0.004; CFI= 0.969 >0.95; goodness of fit index= 0.998 > .90). Correlation analysis showed adequate evidence of convergent validity while providing new insights on divergent and discriminant validity. Thus, the Filipino version of the BRS is a valid and reliable means to assess resilience as the ability to bounce back among a Filipino population.
