Effects of Applied Social Sciences Processes

Introduction

Welcome Grade 12 learners!

The applied social science has been established as a reaction to the
specialization of the social science knowledge that dominated the twentieth and early
twenty-first centuries. Academic scholars argued that there is a need for more
partnership within the disciplines of the social sciences, and a practical application
of various social science disciplines. This new approach contributes a lot in
understanding and resolving personal, community, or communal issues through the
use of the social sciences which is the primary basis of the applied social sciences.
Applied social science is an integrated science cutting across and
transcending numerous social science disciplines in addressing a variety of issues
in a contemporary, innovative, and dynamic approach. It integrates theory, social
research, skills, professional experiences, and critical thinking skills essential to
fully address social phenomena. Applied social science, therefore, is a wide-ranging
field that draws on a different social theories and perspectives, and combines theory
and practice drawn from different social science disciplines that highlight the
complexity of social concerns.
Previous lessons discussed the functions of counseling, social work, and
communication function specific to their settings, clienteles, and audiences. As you
may have observed, the three disciplines have overlapping functions and similarities,
so that this GLAK summarizes those by discussing the functions of applied social
science.

Discussion

EFFECTS OF APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES

The advantages derived from the applied social sciences produce abundant
effects to individual members, communities, and groups and to the whole society in
general. Some of the effects of applied social science may increase awareness and
knowledge of oneself and others, attitude and value change, behavioral changes,
changes in structure of the society.

 Awareness and Knowledge

Most of what we know, from the most ordinary idea to complex abstract
concepts, are polished through education. Through applied social sciences,
people have developed ways to understand and explain one’s self and that of the
other people. Counseling, in an instance, allows us to understand one’s
personality, characteristic, and behavior including problems and issues that may
affect an individual.
In an area of social work, it provides awareness and understanding of
community issues because social workers provide also the knowledge especially
on community organizing and mobilizations. They also notify the public about
the important political, social, and economic issues and concerns that is affecting
them. Thus, to be able to attain the best of social functioning and to capacitate
individuals and groups, trainings and seminars on personal and community
development are conducted by the social worker.
In the context of today’s
society where access to information
has become an essential rights and
could lead to an individual, a group
or a community’s progress and
empowerment, the significance of
communications as an instrument
and as an area of discipline cannot
be overemphasized. It is important
to note that, despite how it made
our lives connected, there is also a
need to exercise responsibility in using the different communicative tools. Social
media malpractices like identity theft, cyber bullying and online bashing and
harassment have been rampant among the youth. This further shows that media
and information literacy should become an important component of our
education.

 Attitude and Value Change

Applied social sciences allow us to comprehend various social phenomena.

People can make significant changes and impact in their attitude and values to
stop the existence of several natural and social problems. For example, disaster
risks can be prevented and mitigated through the use of applied social science.
It provides useful information on things to do before, during and after the
disaster. Community social workers may serve as agents of information by
offering feasible corrective measures to reduce the impact of disasters.

In order to solicit the active participation of the people in the community,

they have to understand the basic concepts of hazard, risk, and vulnerability in
relation to the various phases of disaster risk reduction and management. This
process is a part of prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.

Government and non

government institutions use various
ways of communication campaigns
to promote changes in values,
attitude and behavior.
For instance, educating
community against maltreatments,
violations and abuses against
society’s vulnerable sectors through
video clips, posters, advertisement,
and public service announcement.

Applied social scientist can communicate the impact of social and

environmental phenomena through their interaction to the society, culture, and
environment which can create a new perspective, a change of attitude and values
resiliencies towards man-made and environmental disasters.

 Behavioral Change

Applied social sciences processes can also bring about change in human
behavior. It also introduces us to the different political concerns and issues
confronting our country today. Furthermore, it offers us solutions on how to solve
and address these political problems and issues.

In social work and counseling

particularly behavioral change focuses
on promoting the well-being of the
person. Among which are children’s
problematic behavior such as non-
compliance, temper tantrums, over-
eating, and sleep disturbances.

Behavioral change can also focus

on self-development, such as improving
the grooming skills and personal hygiene. Engler (2014) states that behavior
change is maintained when the following conditions are present:

a. the new behavior has functional value for the

individual;

b. strong social and environmental support for

the behavior; and

c. an individual’s own self-evaluation becomes

an important reinforcement.

 Structural Change
The applied social sciences allowed us to
understand the details of the different structural
problems and how it changes through time. It helps
us comprehend the different social problems and its
dynamics and in the process which proposes
alternative solutions.

Social and family-related problems like gender issues, overseas migration,

domestic violence, single parenting, criminality, and substance abuse can be
addressed through the initiative efforts of social workers, community organizers,
and counselors by providing alternative solutions, advises, guidance, and action.

Acknowledgment

The Schools Division of Zambales would like to express its heartfelt

gratitude to the following, who in one way or the other, have contributed to
the successful preparation, development, quality assurance, printing, and
distribution of the Quarter 2 Guided Learning Activity Kits (GLAKs) in all
learning areas across grade levels as a response to providing the learners with
developmentally-appropriate, contextualized and simplified learning
resources with most essential learning competencies (MELCs)-based activities
anchored on the principles of guided learning and explicit instruction:

First, the Learning Resources (LR) Development Team composed of the

writers and graphic artists for devoting much of their time and exhausting
their best efforts to produce these indispensable learning kits used for the
implementation of learning delivery modalities.

Second, the content editors, language reviewers, and layout evaluators

making up the Division Quality Assurance Team (DQAT) for having carefully
evaluated all GLAKs to ensure quality and compliance to DepEd standards;

Third, the Provincial Government of Zambales, for unceasingly

extending its financial assistance to augment the funds for the printing of
these learning resources for use by learners and parents at home;

Fourth, the teacher-advisers and subject teachers, in close

coordination with the school heads, for their weekly distribution and retrieval
of the GLAKs and for their frequent monitoring of the learners’ progress
through various means; and

Finally, the parents and other home learning facilitators for giving the
learners the needed guidance and support for them to possibly accomplish
the tasks and for gradually helping them become independent learners.

To deliver learning continuity in this challenging circumstance would

not be possible without your collective effort and strong commitment to serve
our Zambaleño learners.

Again, our sincerest thanks!
