THE PROBLEM

Background of the study

The change taking place in the public schools system in the nature of school

objectives and methods of teaching and the increasing importance being attached to

the need for community support to public schools and vice-versa call for a closer

relationship between the schools and the community. Closely related to these changes

is also the noticeable change taking place in the attitude of education in the Philippines

toward the relationship which should exist between the school and the community

serves. It is being urged that the school should seek learning situations within the

realities of the community living, that the pupils should be given opportunities to

observe, study, and participate in socially significant enterprises, and that the school

should project its program into the life of the community. There is at present an

increasing demand by teachers, school administrators and even supervisors for

information on how to improve school-community relations. In view of the new trend

toward closer association between the school and the citizens it serves. It seems

important to examine the essentials of good school-community relationship and the

role and responsibility of the teachers, the administrators and the supervisors in

improving the relationship between the school and the community.

The birth of the community school idea in the Philippines whose aim is to give

practical education and to improve the homes and the community, makes the

Page 8: Community Participation in the Primary Schools of Selected Districts in the Philippines

functional relationship between the school and the community necessary. It is

generally believed that the community and the school will have to work more closely

together if the best educational results are to be achieved and maintained (Sutaria,

2000)

Epstein (2001) defines school-community relationship as mutually helpful

relationships among school and community in the interest of child welfare. A mutual

cooperative relationship between the school and the community is essential for

progressive education. It is a problem of school administration to bring the school to

the community and vice-versa. The significance of integrating the school and the

community has more and more come to be regarded as one of the real needs of the

school administration.

It is very important that the school and the community should be harmoniously

related. The school can no longer be conceived as the sole agency of education. The

resources and the life activities of the community itself must furnish the basis for an

educational program in which all persons, adults as well as children participate

(Sutaria 2000)

Too often the educational and community partnership is often underdeveloped

and tenuous. In most cases, the schools are left alone to pursue their academic efforts,

and the community is viewed as a nebulous body that does not interfere with the

schools except when involved in communal activities , such as using the school

Page 9: Community Participation in the Primary Schools of Selected Districts in the Philippines

premises for entertainment purposes, and relying on the expertise of school personnel

on specific issues and topics (Estacio, 2009).

A community can have a profound effects on the pupils. It can address the

affective needs of students, such as values, attitudes, and feelings which are equally as

important in the overall development of the pupil. If pupils understand their

community, they are in a better position to develop positive inclinations toward their

environment. It is also more likely that pupils will be motivated to adopt an action-

oriented stance in community matters.

At the same time, school leaders repeatedly call upon the local community

leadership to join the schools in solving their fiscal and legislative crises. Many school

people call this effort a “school-community partnership.”

The positive aspects of the community can play a very active role in the

schools, and in this era of substance abuse moral neutrality, and individualism,

students need as much support as possible, according to Fernandez (1998). Moreover,

in communities that have negative role models and members whose behavior is not

desirable by community standards, perhaps the positive elements of the school and

the community can align themselves to ameliorate and undermine those counter-

productive forces, individuals, and practices, that distract students, and lower the

community morale.

One thing that a teacher should remember is that people who do not have

children in school, don’t always realize that the school needs help. Just getting

Page 10: Community Participation in the Primary Schools of Selected Districts in the Philippines

that message out to the public can increase the community involvement with

school. A class could start sending or delivering a class newsletter to neighbors

and friends to let them know what is going on with the school. One teacher can

make a difference, but to really get the community involved, several teachers

should work together (Swick, 2001).

As schools have become more professionalized and centralized,

they have tended to distance themselves from their local communities. The vital

links between experience, work, and education have lost their power as valuable

community resources. And many economically distressed towns, communities,

and neighborhoods have begun to struggle toward economic revitalization

without the valuable contributions of the local schools, Swick concluded.

It is with these reasons that gave interest to the researcher to focus its research

to the extent of community participation in Bauko I, Division of Mountain Province.

Conceptual Framework

An effective method of promoting education and ensuring school support is

involving the community in school activities. By inviting community members to join

in school festivities, the school administration can improve the overall satisfaction of

the student body, increase the effectiveness of the education and raise the likelihood

that the school will continue to be supported by the community. School events that

include community members, both parents and non-parents, benefit both the students

and the community at large.

Page 11: Community Participation in the Primary Schools of Selected Districts in the Philippines

The community development approach emphasizes self- help, the democratic

process, and local leadership in community revitalization. Most community

development work involves the participation of the communities or beneficiaries

involved. Thus, community participation is an important component of community

development and reflects a grassroots or bottom- up approach to problem solving. In

social work, community participation refers to “. . . the active voluntary engagement

of individuals and groups to change problematic conditions and to influence policies

and programs that affect the quality of their lives or the lives of others”.

One of the major aims of community development is to encourage

participation of the community as a whole. Indeed, community development has been

defined as a social process resulting from citizen participation. Through citizen

participation, a broad cross- section of the community is encouraged to identify and

articulate their own goals, design their own methods of change, and pool their

resources in the problem- solving process .

It is widely recognized that participation in government schemes often means

no more than using the service offered or providing inputs to support the project. This

is contrasted with stronger forms of participation, involving control over decisions,

priorities, plans, and implementation; or the spontaneous, induced, or assisted

formation of groups to achieve collective goals. The most important and complicated

issue bearing on local level planning and development is community participation.

Effective community participation may lead to social and personal empowerment,

Page 12: Community Participation in the Primary Schools of Selected Districts in the Philippines

economic development, and sociopolitical transformation. Yet there are obstacles: the

power of central bureaucracies, the lack of local skills and organizational experience,

social divisions, and the impact of national and transnational structures. There is no

clear- cut agreement in the literature of community development on the nature of

community participation or on a prescription to ensure it. The need for community

participation in development and management is nonetheless accepted and recognized

in the professional literature.

School-community partnership provide a powerful strategy for pupils

at risk of not completing elementary schooling. The best outcomes for these pupils

have been achieved through programs which take pupils into the community and bring

the community into the school. A number of case studies show a marked increase in

the number of young people taking up local employment opportunities, further study

or self-employment. Effective school-community linkages bring increased self-esteem

and self-confidence for young people. Resilience-characterized by healthy

relationships, positive outlook, high self-esteem, problem-solving skills and a sense of

humor – is an essential factor in young people’s well-being. Supportive relationships

with interested adults provide the sense of connectedness, in particular to family and

school, which build resilience in young people. The local community is crucial in

providing such relationships (Collin s, 2002)

Page 13: Community Participation in the Primary Schools of Selected Districts in the Philippines

The schools are considered as a community helps detect dropouts and reports

them to school authorities to ensure that they continue their studies. The community,

through corporate bodies or organizations, contributes to the educational funding of

poor students. The community is also takes it upon itself to ensure that schools and its

immediate environment are safe and conductive for the learning of the students.

design with the questionnaire as the main tool used in gathering the data. Informal

interview, observation and participation and library techniques will be used to

supplement the data gathered through the questionnaire. The design is descriptive

because the study described the community participation in the public elementary

schools of Bauko I, Division of Mountain Province.

Locale and Population of the Study

The study will be conducted in the public elementary school of the Bauko I in

the Division of Mountain Province.

The number of respondents will be determined through the use of Yamane’s

formula as shown in the below:

n = N

Data Gathering Tool

The researcher will gather data using a questionnaire. Enclosed with it is a

letter addressed to the respondents. It focused on the participation of the community in

the public elementary schools of Bauko I, Mountain Province. Part 1 containing ten

items will be on extent of involvement of community stakeholders. Part 2 will cover

the extent of assistance extended by the community stakeholders with 10 items too.

Part 3 will include the extent to which the community stakeholders monitor the

concerns of the public elementary school with seven queries. Part 4 comprised of 9

Page 23: Community Participation in the Primary Schools of Selected Districts in the Philippines

17

items will deal on the degree of seriousness encountered in school-community

relationship. Finally, part 5 will be on the degree of effectiveness of measures to

improve school-community relationship.

The questionnaire will be provided with a clear direction instructing the

respondents to check the options applicable to them.

Validity and Reliability of the Research Instrument

The questionnaire was constructed based from informal interviews, journals

and researches related to the study which will be shown to experts associated with the

subject for comments and suggestions to further enhance the data gathering tool.

The Spearman-Brown Method (Subong, 2006) will be used to establish the

reliability of the questionnaire after a pretest to 10 public elementary teachers and 10

parents.

Data Gathering Procedure

Before floating the questionnaire, the needed permission from the proper

authorities of the participating schools will be obtained. The researcher will personally

distribute the questionnaire to the target respondents. This is done in order to explain

to the respondents the proper accomplishment of the questionnaire. It will be during

the distribution and retrieval of the questionnaire that some informal interviews will be

conducted. Likewise, observations will be made to further augment data gathered.
