IMPLEMENTATION OF COMMUNITY-ACTION PLAN

Learning Competency: Implement community action plan.

The implementation of the community-action plan serves as the terminal satisfaction of the discipline. It
focuses on the engagement of the students in a real community in contrast with the classroom discussion of
theories and assumptions. Students are expected to immerse themselves as guided by the core values of human
rights, social justice, empowerment and advocacy, gender equality, and participatory development. The
community-action plan aspires to stir the sense of belongingness and initiatives in the pursuit of community
changing actions for the realization of a better community while integrating the different concepts and theories of
Social Sciences.

Through the initiatives of the students, it will make them realize of their value as a citizen which is to be part
of the problem-solving group and not the other way around. The visions of the students through this activity will
make them more responsible and effective members of the community because of their fruition that everyone can
be an active voice of the community through implementing a long-lasting help to the community where they are
directly involved with.

Planning is essential and strategic for any organization. With planning, organizations and communities become
reflexive, dynamic, responsive, and systematic in achieving their vision. Community action refers to the collective
efforts done by the people directed toward addressing social problems, (e.g., social inequalities, environmental
degradation, and poverty) in order to achieve social well-being. Community engagement refers to the process of
developing partnerships and sustaining relationships with and through groups of people affiliated by geographic
proximity or common interests for the purpose of working for the common good and of addressing issues that
affect their well-being.

What is Community Action Plan?

Learning Competency: Synthesize the insights gained in conducting the community action plan that applied the
methods of social sciences.

The community action plan is one of the participatory tools used to build the capacity of community
members in taking action in accordance with the problems, needs, and potential of the community. The community
action plan should become a framework for implementing the activities that are decided by the community itself.
The focus is more on the process of understanding and overcoming problems in order to rebuild the people's lives
rather than just physical development such as building houses, providing clean water or toilet facilities. It is
important to understand that the community should be the main actors in preparing their own community action
plan.

Producing the action plan helps people to take realistic and concrete steps toward participatory
development planning in order to improve the sanitation and water system. By bringing everyone together to think
and discuss about resources and group involvement, this tool increases awareness. Social Science research is
fuelled by the desire to find out what makes people tick.
 There are several diverse fields that comprise the Social Sciences, including anthropology, economics,
sociology, and psychology. Social scientists use a range of methods in order to examine the phenomena that
relate to their field, and the different methods of carrying out social science research often form the foundation for
research in other linked disciplines as well, such as political science, market research, and media studies.

There are two broad primary categories that comprise social science research. These are the
Quantitative and Qualitative Design Methods. The methods used in the Quantitative Design category most
often rely on statistical analysis, such as the analysis of numerical data to establish a hypothesis that is provable
by mathematical or statistical means. Experiments use a standard format to generate a hypothesis, provable by
mathematical and statistical methods. Methods used in Qualitative Design rely on direct observation or
communication with the participants or the analysis of words, objects, or artifacts. These are methods to study
the behavior and habits of the participants.

➢ Quantitative Design Methods

 Experimental – This can be understood as the manipulation of independent variables in each experiment,
in order to generate statistically analyzable data which can be easily understood, such as interpreting a census or
an FBI national crime report. The analysis of this type of statistical study can be best applied when social scientists
attempt to explain the voting habits of citizens in high crime areas, for example.

 Sampling – This is information gathering such as through surveys, opinion polling, questionnaires, or focus
groups. These types of research methods can provide the information sought by corporations to help them decide
how to structure advertising campaigns to sell their products or to help politicians to understand the desires of their
constituencies so they can incorporate the information into election campaigns or policymaking strategies.

➢ Qualitative Design Methods

 Observational – This is the observation of phenomena with a minimum of interference, such as

case studies or key informant interviews.

 Historical – This includes the researching of historical records such as birth certificates and death
certificates or the collection of data through documentation of primary sources, secondary sources,
running records, and recollections.

 Photographs, videos, sound recordings – This is the collection and assembling of visual and
audible artifacts, such as old family photos, videos, films of war scenes, or audio memoirs and
testaments. Learning Competency: HUMSS_CSC12Ive-h-22
