FGD Guide

Good afternoon, everyone! My name is Rolli. I am currently taking my master’s degree at the
University of the Philippines Visayas. I will be the moderator and note taker (at the same time) for this
FGD.

Thank you once again for taking time and making yourself available.

Today, our point of discussion is all about the Hurdles, Opportunities, and Approaches of Private
Elementary Schools in Highly Sexualized Media Environment (SME).

So what is SME?

A media-saturated environment - there is too much exposure of sexualized contents and messages in
all new media platforms including social networking sites, websites, online videos, etc.

3 Facets of SME

1. Hurdles - difficulties faced by teachers in SME

2. Opportunities - motivational factors by teachers to do something about SME

3. Approaches - methods and strategies to address the hurdles

Simple rules and reminders

- Everyone will get the chance to speak up; speak one at a time

- You are entitled with your opinions; no one is judging your personal beliefs

- the discussion is audio-recorded and the recording will be dealt confidentially

- Follow-up questions can be given by the moderator only

- SME is brought by all forms of New Media (aka the Internet)

- We can finish the FGD once we answer all the questions raised

I think we are now ready for the first question.
