    Asong, Mariver A.; Bobe, Minnie Marie M.; Guadalquiver, Nanette L.; Jalover, Carol P.; Niembra, Lorlyn C.; Rasmo, Anna Vina Lisa L.; Salazar, Ma. Jonalyn U.; Tupas, Euridice L. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 1995-03)
    This study is an attempt to re-validate the study framework of Dr. Jacobson Kliatchko, which he used in his dissertation entitled, Communication and Attitude Development: A Philosophical Perspective. The framework deals with the development of attitudes after exposure to value-bearing communication. Because this study does not deal with the cause and effect relationship, the variables are rather called as components. The components of such study framework are: environment, value-bearing communication, and attitude. In this study, the environment is Marillac Academy. The value-bearing communication is the module on good study habits. And the attitude is the study habits of the respondents. needed data. Purposive sampling was used to determine the respondents. The essays and interviews with the students and the questionnaires filled up by the parents were the instruments designed to elicit the needed data. The general objective of this study is to determine how adolescents respond to value-bearing communication. Results reveal that although most of the respondents did not follow their study schedule, all of them have allotted time for their studies as reflected by the filled up observation sheets accomplished by the parents. This suggests that there is favorable response on the part of the respondents towards value-bearing communication. The study framework of Dr. Kliatchko that was used in the study shows that there is indeed an attitude formed when a value-bearing communication is inputted to a certain environment.

    Knowledge, attitudes, and practices on dengue vectors of households in Tumagboc Catchment Area, Miagao, Iloilo
    Arbizo, Jeric L.; Baldevarona, Rosa Lea S.; Caoyonan, Louise Asuncion D.; Gabasa, Marah Febcy J.; Mapa, Fernie Love D.; Patria, Elaine Joy M.; Tenchavez, Darlene Ruth B.; Trivilegio, Enna Fleur C. (Division of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    Previous studies have shown that knowledge, attitudes and practices have an association with the dengue vector control. As such, the independence of mosquito population on the sociodemographic characteristics and KAP of the household heads in Tumagboc Catchment Area, Miagao, Iloilo was tested. Based on the results, the household heads generally are unemployed, married females aging 41 to 50. Their households are composed of 4 to 7 members with no or one child below 15 years, and usually receive below P 1999 per month. Most of them are informed about dengue fever, but only one had suffered from it in the last two years. Moreover, they have moderate knowledge, poor attitudes, but good practices regarding dengue prevention. The container index is 2.71 for crude mosquito larvae and pupae population, and 0.39 for Aedes sp. The house index is 9.72, while the Breteaux indexis 13.19. Chi-square analysis at 0.05 level of significance confirmed the independence of mosquito larvae and pupae population from monthly income, dengue information reception, knowledge, attitudes and practices. A solid reason was the untimely conduct of the study in the beginning of the summer season, when stagnant water has dried up and with few vulnerable breeding sites.

    Relationship between media exposure and attitude of Iloilo City Junior High School students towards indigenous peoples
    Amon, Abigail; Garzon, Ma. Mercedes (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-05)
    This research discusses the relationship between media exposure and the attitude of selected Iloilo City public junior high school students towards the indigenous peoples. Three hundred junior high school students from Bo. Obrero National High School, Iloilo City National High School, Mandurriao National High School, Ramon Avanceña National High School, and SPED - Integrated School for Exceptional Children served as respondents to a five-part questionnaire that included demographics, exposure to media and IPs, attitude, additional questions regarding the relationship between their media exposure and their attitude towards IPs, and the information they received and wished to receive from media. The researchers found that students were most exposed to online media and that they had low exposure to mediated content on indigenous peoples on all media platforms. It was concluded that respondents had an overall positive attitude towards indigenous peoples. Moreover, both the media industry and the educational system should be more responsible in supporting the IPs through wider media coverage and introduction to more media platforms.
